Pleasant Hill, MO · Cass County
Roof inspections in Pleasant Hill.
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 estimate puts the median year built for Pleasant Hill’s housing at 1993.
The short answer
Pleasant Hill has a roofing permit for re-roofs, its roofing form notes that ice and water shield is required, and contractors need a city business license first.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Pleasant Hill on 3 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 21 days. The largest hail reported there was 1.75 inches on March 12, 2024.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Pleasant Hill, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
The city shares its name with the National Weather Service’s Kansas City/Pleasant Hill office, which sits on North 7 Highway about 2 miles north of town, and its first settlers arrived in 1828.
Start with your address to see how many significant storms are on record near your home. If you want a closer look, Roof Inspectors arranges a free inspection with one local roofing partner — and being near a storm isn’t the same as roof damage.
Storm record for Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill; 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), Pleasant Hill is in the lower band.

Before you hire a roofer in Pleasant Hill
- Pleasant Hill has a roofing application and permit for re-roofs, which can be filed online or on paper. City Hall staff contact the applicant for payment before issuing the permit, and the city asks to be told when the work is complete so it can final the permit. MO
- The city’s paper roofing form asks whether the job is a complete tear-off and how many layers are on the roof. It also notes that ice and water shield is required under the International Residential Code (IRC section 905.2.7). MO
- Pleasant Hill’s builder and contractor inspection guide says all builders, contractors and subcontractors must have an active business/occupational license with the city before any building permit is issued. Ask your roofer whether theirs is current. MO
- In Pleasant Hill’s historic district, an application must be filed with the Community Development Department before any exterior modifications, for review by the Historic Preservation Commission. If your home is in the district, ask the city whether your roofing project needs one. MO
- 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
