Fenton homes
The City of Fenton is small, so many homes with a Fenton address sit outside city limits in unincorporated St. Louis County. Inside the city, most homes were built between the 1960s and the 1990s.
Fenton began as Old Towne Fenton, the original 1818 town on the west bank of the Meramec River. Today its older core along Gravois Road sits apart from the mid-century subdivisions around it.
Is it time to replace your roof, siding or windows in Fenton?
Inside Fenton’s city limits, building peaked in the 1990s, when about 30% of today’s homes went up. Whatever your home’s age, here is what wear looks like on its roof, siding and windows.
Signs your roof is wearing out
Most homes inside Fenton’s city limits date from the 1960s through the 1990s, so many are on their second roof, and some of those are wearing out. Look for curling or cracked shingles, bare spots and grit in the gutters.

Signs your siding is wearing out
Aluminum siding on older homes dents in hail and chalks as it fades. Hardboard siding from the 1980s and 1990s swells and flakes at the bottom edges, and vinyl warps, cracks and pulls loose.

Signs your windows are wearing out
Windows from the 1990s, the city’s busiest building decade, are now about 30 years old, and many fog between the panes or let in drafts. Older aluminum windows run cold and sweat in winter.

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
Old Towne Fenton
The original town was founded in 1818 on the west bank of the Meramec. Expect hardboard or aluminum siding, a second or third roof, and lead paint possible under the trim.
The 1960s and 1970s
About three in ten homes inside city limits date from these two decades. We photograph the roof, siding or windows you called about, and when a repair is the right answer, we say so.
The 1980s and 1990s
Nearly half of the city’s homes were built in these two decades, with the 1990s the busiest. Masonite siding from these years is often failing, and 1990s builder-grade shingles are at or past their rated life.
Permits and ice and water shield in Fenton
The City of Fenton contracts with the St. Louis County Department of Public Works for building permits and inspections. Municipal Zoning Approval from the city’s Community Development Department comes first.
St. Louis County’s residential code is the 2015 International Residential Code with county amendments, effective April 1, 2020. Under it, a re-roof needs a county permit when the roof slope is under 4:12 or the job changes the roof covering system. The county’s re-roofing checklist adds replacing more than 25% of the sheathing, or replacing board sheathing. A like-for-like asphalt roof on a steeper slope needs no permit, but it must still meet code.
The county code does not require ice and water shield, which the code calls ice barrier underlayment. We still recommend it for most homes. Because the code does not require it, an insurer may decline to pay for it on a claim, so we explain this before work begins and you can decide with the full picture.
We pull the permits your project needs.

Questions from Fenton homeowners
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Fenton?
Not for a like-for-like asphalt roof on a slope of 4:12 or steeper. St. Louis County, which handles permits for the city, requires one when the slope is under 4:12, the roof covering system changes, or more than 25% of the sheathing is replaced.
Does Fenton require ice and water shield on a new roof?
No. The St. Louis County code that Fenton uses does not require it. We still recommend it, and we tell you up front whether insurance is likely to cover it.
Is my house in the City of Fenton or unincorporated St. Louis County?
Many homes with a Fenton mailing address are outside city limits, in unincorporated St. Louis County. We confirm which applies to your home, because the city’s zoning approval is part of the permit process only inside the city.
