Complete, Professional Technology-Driven Home Inspections for Your Wentzville, MO Home!
The average home in Wentzville was built in 2003, with a large boom around 2010. While there is still quite a bit of new construction going up around Wentzville and the town as a whole is growing, most of the homes are coming up on that 20-30 year mark where most of the original building materials will begin to reach their maximum life expectancy, requiring maintenance, repair or replacement.
When materials like roof shingles and siding reach their maximum life expectancy, they can begin to leak or otherwise succumb to the elements if not repaired or replaced. Having a complete home inspection will help identify building materials that may be at the end of their lifespan, requiring replacement soon. It’s important that the buyer be aware of this and negotiate accordingly to offset these maintenance costs.
Also, since this town was subject to neighborhoods being built at the same time and to similar plans, we expect homes to have many similar issues. Read our case study of a Wentzville Townhome as an example that we are always on the lookout for.
Another thing to be aware of, with most of the neighborhoods being ‘newer’, they often do not have many mature tree’s to help block the wind, which leads to routine roof damage, missing shingles and loose siding.
Here at Tech Inspect, we have family in Wentzville and we often see the damage that the storms do to homes, and know what to look for.
Founded in 1855 as a railroad town on the Northern Missouri Railroad, Wentzville, Missouri grew into a strategic transportation hub that proudly lives up to its nickname as the “Crossroads of the Nation.” Sitting at the intersection of Interstate 70 and Interstate 64, it has long served as a gateway for travelers moving east–west across the United States. Though once a quiet farming community, Wentzville’s position on these major corridors spurred rapid growth through the 20th century, attracting industry, commerce, and suburban development from nearby St. Louis. At the heart of town stands the Wentzville Vietnam Veterans Memorial—dedicated in 1967, it is recognized as the nation’s first Vietnam War memorial and remains a striking symbol of the community’s patriotism and sacrifice.
Wentzville (zip code 63385), located in booming St. Charles County, attracts people who want the convenience of St. Louis without the chaos of big-city living. It sits at the intersection of Interstate 70 and Interstate 64, earning its title “Crossroads of America”, making it ideal for commuters and travelers alike. The city blends newer subdivisions, shopping centers, and major employers with an old-town district that still feels like small-town Missouri. Residents get highly rated schools, sprawling parks, community events at Rotary Park, hosting the St. Charles County Fair, and quick access to wineries, rivers, and outdoor recreation across the county. Simply put, people move to Wentzville for growth, opportunity, and a location that puts everything within reach.
