Raytown, MO
Roofing and exterior work in Raytown, Jackson County, from a family run shop on the Kansas side.
Advance Construction Pros serves Raytown, Missouri with roofing and exterior work for homes and small commercial buildings in Jackson County. We are a family run shop, the Xiong brothers, based at 615 N 62nd St in Kansas City, Kansas, and Raytown sits southeast of us on the Missouri side.
Raytown had 30,012 residents at the 2020 census, and it is one of the most consistent postwar suburbs in the metro. The city grew rapidly in the middle of the twentieth century and most of what stands today comes from that period: ranches and split levels on settled lots, straightforward roof geometry, and heavy mature tree cover that arrived with the neighborhoods and has been growing ever since.
That combination is the whole story of roofing in Raytown. The roofs themselves are simple, but the canopy over them means debris, shaded slopes holding moisture, and gutters that need attention far more often than the roof does.

A little history, because it explains the housing stock
William Ray established a blacksmith shop on the Santa Fe Trail in Jackson County in about 1848. The settlement that grew around it was known first as Ray’s Town, and by 1854 as Raytown. A historical marker at 63rd Street and Raytown Road marks where the shop stood.
Almost nothing from that era survives in the built environment, with the notable exception of the Rice-Tremonti Home, built in 1844 on the Santa Fe Trail. What defines Raytown today is the postwar expansion that filled the area in during the mid twentieth century, which is why the housing stock is so uniform in age and why replacement cycles here move street by street.
ZIP codes 64129, 64133 and 64138
Raytown sits within 64129, 64133 and 64138, boundaries shared with surrounding Jackson County. Here is how the city divides on the ground.
The central postwar neighborhoods. The bulk of Raytown. Ranches and split levels on settled lots with simple roof planes and very heavy mature canopy overhead.
The 63rd Street and Raytown Road corridor. The historic and commercial crossroads of the city, with a mix of older commercial frontage and residential behind.
The southern edge toward Longview Lake. Somewhat newer building on more open ground, with wider roof planes and greater wind exposure.
The western edge toward Kansas City. Where Raytown runs into the city around it, with comparable housing age and character on both sides of the line.
Advance Construction Pros covers all of it.
Landmarks around town
The Rice-Tremonti Home, built in 1844 on the Santa Fe Trail, is the oldest surviving landmark in Raytown, and the historical marker at 63rd Street and Raytown Road marks where William Ray’s blacksmith shop stood. Longview Lake sits to the south, and the Raytown branch of the Mid-Continent Public Library serves as a civic anchor alongside the Raytown C-2 School District.
Advance Construction Pros works with homeowners and property owners across the neighborhoods and corridors surrounding all of these.
The corridors and districts we work in
63rd Street. The main east to west route and, at its junction with Raytown Road, the historic heart of the city. Commercial frontage runs along much of it with postwar residential immediately behind. The marker for William Ray’s blacksmith shop stands at that crossroads, which is as close to an origin point as Raytown has.
Raytown Road. The main north to south spine, running the length of the city and carrying most of its local traffic. A mix of commercial and residential frontage, with older buildings concentrated near the 63rd Street junction. It is the street people navigate the city by.
350 Highway. The faster route cutting across the southern part of Raytown toward Kansas City. Commercial and service ground fronts it with low slope roofs. The residential streets behind it are quieter and almost entirely mid century.
The central residential grid. The heart of the city and the bulk of the work we do here. Ranches and split levels of similar age on settled lots, with straightforward roof planes that are easy to walk. The mature canopy overhead is the complicating factor, because it keeps gutters loaded and north facing slopes damp.
Longview Lake and the southern edge. Newer building on more open ground toward the lake. Wider roof planes, less tree cover and noticeably more wind exposure than the central grid. These streets tend to report storm damage before the older neighborhoods do.
The western edge toward Kansas City. Where Raytown meets the surrounding city with no real change in housing character. Same postwar stock, same canopy, same roof ages. For us it is one continuous working area rather than a boundary.
