Census and NOAA figures for the city of Des Peres in St. Louis County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Des Peres was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Missouri median of 1978. That is newer than the St. Louis County median of 1969.1 Somewhat more of Des Peres's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 62% against 50%, with 7% built since 2010. The largest single share, 41%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than St. Louis County as a whole (69% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied homes in Des Peres are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1976 against 1970.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Des Peres is mostly detached single-family: 98% of units, with 2% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in Des Peres: 96% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Missouri share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Des Peres is valued at $609,200 (ACS), above the Missouri median of $230,300. Within St. Louis County the median is $276,800, so Des Peres sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The St Louis Lambert Intl Ap station averages 85 nights a year at or below 32°F and 26 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 47 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 42 inches a year, 11 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Snowfall averages about 17 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 4,433 heating degree days against 1,713 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. Des Peres sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4
