Replacing a Roof in Moberly, MO
Moberly started with the railroad. Its first lots sold on September 27, 1866, and it took the name of William E. Moberly, president of the Chariton & Randolph Railroad. By 1872 five rail lines met here, and a 1909 booklet called the town "The Magic City." It lies about 33 miles north of Columbia on US 63, in Randolph County.
The 2020 Census counted 13,783 residents, almost exactly the 1930 peak of 13,772, and the 2025 estimate of 13,719 shows a steady town. Of its homes, 58.7% are owner-occupied.
Railroad-Era Streets and Moberly, MO Housing
A state historic survey of Moberly lists a Carnegie library, a U.S. Post Office from 1905 and 1906, and a 1940 Art Moderne Municipal Auditorium.
Prices here are modest. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $153,100 and the median household income is $44,145, both the lowest among the towns this site covers. Across 5,103 households, a roof bill weighs heavily against home value. Ask for a repair price and a replacement price side by side, and on an older house, ask how worn decking, attic ventilation and chimney flashing are handled.
How Moberly, MO Requests Work
Each request reaches a single roofer, whose focus depends on the job.
- Tear-off and new roof. A full roof replacement removes every old layer. Have the roofer show you any bad decking before replacing it.
- After a storm. A storm and hail damage inspection documents what the weather did. You and your insurer handle the claim; the roofer writes the estimate.
- Switching to metal. Metal roof replacement runs higher per square foot in every source we cite, so weigh how long you plan to stay.
- Staying with shingles. A shingle roof replacement is the budget-friendly route. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost more, but many insurers discount them; ask yours.
- Fixing one spot. For a single leak or a patch of missing shingles, a roof repair may buy years.
Two Tornadoes South of Moberly, MO
Randolph County weather is tracked by the National Weather Service office in Kansas City/Pleasant Hill. Its record of March 12, 2006 describes a tornado that formed south-southwest of Moberly and moved to just south of Renick, where F2 damage was noted to several homes. That storm took the lives of four Randolph County residents.
On December 4, 2017, the same office rated an EF-1 tornado with 100 mph winds on a path of about 11 miles starting just east of Higbee. The worst damage fell just south of Moberly near Renick, where a house and a mobile home were destroyed and two people were hurt. A December tornado is a reminder that roof damage isn't only a spring problem.
Moberly, MO Lists a Re-Roofing Permit
Moberly is one of the few towns nearby that names this job outright: the city's fee schedule includes a "Re-roofing permit." Building Inspections & Code Enforcement handles it at 101 W. Reed St., Moberly, MO 65270, phone (660) 263-4420. Inspections are scheduled at (660) 269-7638.
