Missouri straddles tornado alley and the humid South; tornado-alley fastening schedules (ring-shank nails at 8-inch OC) combined with moisture-tolerant materials address both wind and humidity threats simultaneously. Most Missouri jurisdictions require a siding/exterior permit pulled by the contractor; typical residential fees run $100–$350, usually with a final inspection.
