Missouri Home Services And Local Resources

Missouri homeowners should start with the city or county for construction credentials and permits rather than assume a single statewide general-contractor license applies. For St. Louis historic brickwork, the Cultural Resources Office provides an additional review route and masonry guidance. Document where mortar has failed and why water reaches the wall before requesting whole-facade work. Ask a mason to explain the proposed mortar and removal method, with a small sample area before broad work begins. Check separately regulated trades through their applicable authorities. Keep photographs, product details and local determinations with the contract so cosmetic cleanup does not obscure unresolved roof, drainage or structural problems.
