Roof inspections in Grandview.
Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024 put the median year built for Grandview’s housing at 1973.
The short answer
Grandview issues permits for residential reroofs and inspects once the underlayment is in, before shingles go on; a contractor must be licensed in Grandview unless the owner does the work.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Grandview on 4 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 18 days. The largest hail reported there was 1.75 inches on August 24, 2016.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Grandview, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
One house is much older: Harry Truman spent 11 years on his family’s farm in Grandview, and the 1894 farmhouse on Blue Ridge Boulevard is now part of the Harry S Truman National Historic Site.

Storm record for Grandview 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 Grandview; 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.

Before you hire a roofer in Grandview
- Missouri doesn’t license roofers statewide, so licensing, registration, and permit rules are set by each city. That makes it worth asking a roofer which city requirements apply to your project. MO
- Grandview issues permits for residential reroofs, and its roofing requirements call for an inspection once the underlayment is installed, before the shingles go on. If the existing roof already has two or more layers, all of them must be removed before new roofing is installed. MO
- Residential property owners in Grandview can pull their own permits by signing a statement that they own the property, live there, and are doing the work. Otherwise, a contractor licensed in the City of Grandview must obtain the permits. MO
