Raymore, MO · Cass County
Roof inspections in Raymore.
Raymore, a Cass County city in the Kansas City metro, grew from 5,592 residents in the 1990 census to 22,941 in 2020.
The short answer
Raymore has a residential roofing permit for re-roofs that requires ice and water shield, and every contractor needs an active Raymore contractor’s license.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Raymore on 5 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 21 days. The largest hail reported there was 3.0 inches on July 17, 2023.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Raymore, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
Most of that growth came in the 1990s and 2000s: the census counted 11,146 residents in 2000 and 19,206 in 2010.
Roof Inspectors starts with your address: how many significant storms are on record near your home, in plain language. A storm nearby isn’t the same as roof damage. For a closer look, one local roofing partner does a free inspection, with no obligation and no insurance claim filed.
Storm record for Raymore 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 Raymore; 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), Raymore is in the lower band.

Before you hire a roofer in Raymore
- 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
- Raymore’s Building Inspection Division has a residential roofing permit application for re-roofs. It asks whether the job is a complete tear-off and how many layers are present, says ice and water shield is required, and has office-use date lines for the tear-off stage and a final inspection. MO
- The City of Raymore requires all contractors to hold an active city contractor’s license before getting permits or doing any construction work in the city. Ask your roofer for their Raymore contractor’s license number before work starts. MO
