Clayton homes
More than half of Clayton’s housing was built before 1960, about a third before 1940, and about one in five units since 2000. Only about three in ten are single-family detached houses; the rest are attached homes and multi-unit buildings.
Carrswold shows the older end of that range. Its 23 homes were built from 1922 to 1924 in the Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival and Tudor Revival styles, most of them designed by Maritz & Young.
Is it time to replace your roof, siding or windows in Clayton?
More than half of Clayton’s housing was built before 1960, and about one in five units dates from the 2000s or 2010s. Whatever your home’s age, here is what wear looks like on its roof, siding and windows.
Signs your roof is wearing out
On a home built before 1940, the roof may sit over decking as old as the house, and wear shows as leaks at chimneys and valleys, rusted flashing and sagging. On homes built since 2000, look for lifting shingles and grit in the gutters.

Signs your siding is wearing out
Older Clayton homes are often brick or stone with wood trim, where peeling paint and soft wood at the eaves and around windows come first. Clayton’s architectural review covers most exterior changes, on newer homes too.

Signs your windows are wearing out
Original wood windows rot at the sills, rattle and leak air, and later replacements fog between the panes when their seals fail.

Insurance: some insurers limit coverage on older roofs, so storm damage left unrepaired can cost you later.
Some homeowners wait until there’s a leak, a draft or a cracked panel before calling. A free inspection catches problems before then, and tells you what needs a repair, what needs replacing, and what is still fine.
By era
What to expect from your home
Before 1940
About a third of Clayton’s housing predates 1940, including the Revival-style homes of Carrswold. On a home this age, we explain before work begins what we may find once the old materials come off.
National Register districts
Carrswold, Brentmoor Park, Brentmoor and Forest Ridge, and Wydown-Forsyth are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Clayton’s zoning code lets owners in a residential National Register district petition and vote to become a local historic district, which adds its own review.
The 1940s and 1950s
About a fifth of Clayton’s housing was built in these two decades. Homes from these decades often have plank decking under the shingles, original wood or steel windows, and plaster walls that need care when windows come out.
Built since 2000
About one in five Clayton units is from the 2000s or 2010s. Newer homes still go through the city’s architectural review for most exterior changes.
Permits and architectural review in Clayton
The City of Clayton issues its own building permits through its Building Services division. It adopted the 2021 International Residential Code with local amendments, effective January 1, 2023.
The city says architectural review is required for most exterior changes, and changes in color or style go to the Architectural Review Board.
Inside a local historic district, any exterior construction or alteration that needs a building permit also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Architectural Review Board first. The board may send changes that are not visible from the street to the City Manager for administrative review.
We pull the permits your project needs.
