Edwardsville, KS · Wyandotte County
Roof inspections in Edwardsville.
The city describes Edwardsville as largely rural, with most homes on large lots or acreage rather than in defined neighborhoods.
The short answer
Edwardsville asks you to check with City Hall before any construction work to see whether a permit is required, and its business license form asks for a Kansas roofing registration.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Edwardsville on 14 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 25 days. The largest hail reported there was 3.5 inches on March 13, 2024.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Edwardsville, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
Its comprehensive plan says older housing appears to be concentrated in the “old town” area along K-32.
The Wyandotte County city is bounded on two sides by interstate highways and on one side by the Kansas River.
Storm reports in Edwardsville range from tennis-ball-size hail in March 2024 to a downed tree and wires in June 2025. Check how many significant storms are on record at or near your own address; if you want a closer look, one local roofing partner does a free, no-obligation inspection.
Storm record for Edwardsville since 2016
NOAA/NWS storm reports through November 10, 2026.
These are records for the wider area, not for your address. A storm on record doesn’t mean your roof was damaged, and it doesn’t mean your insurance company will accept that storm or date. That’s why an inspection is worth having: a roofing professional looks at the roof itself.

How we count. A hail day is a day with at least one National Weather Service hail report of 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Edwardsville; a wind day has a measured or estimated gust of 58 mph or more. Data through November 10, 2026.
The full method and source
Several reports on the same day count once.
Our storm records come from NOAA radar estimates and National Weather Service reports. Radar can miss or misjudge hail, and a report marks a single spot, so records can be incomplete. Treat them as a starting point, not a verdict about your roof.
Radar hail days use NOAA’s radar estimates (MRMS) of 1 inch or larger over the same area, counted only when the Weather Service also logged hail within 15 miles that day. 2026 numbers come from preliminary reports and can change.
Source: NOAA / National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center storm reports and NOAA MRMS radar hail estimates, retrieved November 11, 2026. Data through November 10, 2026; 2026 reports are preliminary and can still change. Compiled by Roof Inspectors from public-domain NOAA data. How storm data works.
On our hail-by-place comparison (5-mile circles, 2016–2025), Edwardsville is in the higher band.

- Edwardsville’s business and occupational license application has a field for a Kansas roofing registration number and asks for a certificate of insurance and a contractor’s license, if applicable.
