Is it time to replace your roof, siding or windows in Kirkwood?
About six in ten Kirkwood homes were built before 1970. 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 Kirkwood home built before 1970, the roof may sit over decking as old as the house. Look for sagging, curling or missing shingles, and leaks around chimneys and dormers. On newer infill homes, wear shows as lifting shingles and grit in the gutters.

Signs your siding is wearing out
Older Kirkwood homes often have wood siding, or brick with wood trim. Paint that keeps peeling and soft wood at the eaves are the first signs. For a designated landmark, the Landmarks Commission reviews siding and roof changes.
Certified installer
Signs your windows are wearing out
Original wood windows rot at the sills, rattle and leak air, and replacements from the 1970s and 1980s often fog between the panes. Window changes on a landmark go before the Landmarks Commission too.
Certified installer
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
Roughly one in six Kirkwood homes predates 1940. Homes from these decades often have plank decking, original wood windows, and lead paint under the trim. On a home this age, we explain before work begins what we may find once the old materials come off.
The 1940s and 1950s
About three in ten Kirkwood homes were built in these two decades. We measure each one with Hover, so your estimate reflects your own roof and walls rather than a guess from the curb.
Landmarks and historic districts
Meramec Highlands became Kirkwood’s first local historic district in 1988, and the city now has nine. For its 85 designated landmarks, changes to windows, siding and roofs are among the exterior alterations the Landmarks Commission reviews.
Newer homes
Teardowns and infill have added newer houses among Kirkwood’s older ones. In Kirkwood we have installed CertainTeed, Owens Corning, GAF and IKO shingles, James Hardie, LP SmartSide and vinyl siding, and Pella windows, and we back our installation with a two-year workmanship warranty.
Permits and historic review in Kirkwood
The City of Kirkwood issues its own building permits. Its Building Division adopted the 2021 ICC codes, effective April 1, 2026, replacing the 2015 codes. The city requires permits for the remodeling and repair of existing structures, and every contractor must be licensed with the city.
For a designated landmark, the Landmarks Commission reviews exterior alterations through a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the city’s guidance lists changes to windows, siding and roofs among them. The commission also reviews new construction in the local historic districts.
Outside landmark review, exterior changes to a single-family home go to the Architectural Review Board, and for single-family homes that review is advisory. Repair or replacement in the same material, finish, configuration and color is exempt, as are minor changes to window openings.
Your project manager confirms with the city which of these apply to your home before work begins, and stays your contact from start to finish.
We pull the permits your project needs.

Noah was my guide. He made an excellent suggestion of board and batten siding. I am very pleased with how the siding turned out.
