GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with StrikeZone nailing area for Class 4 impact resistance rated to UL 2218. We install the full GAF Roof System. Cobra ridge vent, FeltBuster synthetic underlayment, Starter Match starter strip, and Seal-A-Ridge caps. That qualifies your Lockport home for the Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year workmanship plus 50-year material.

Step flashing at chimney walls is the number one leak source we see in Lockport. Improper step flashing causes roof leaks. It's that simple. We install new step flashing with a chimney cricket for proper water diversion, sealed with Geocel tripolymer sealant. Fix it once, fix it right.

Wind speeds over 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and seal failure. Hail over 1" diameter causes fractures through the shingle mat to the fiberglass reinforcement. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know the difference between cosmetic damage and functional damage. That distinction determines your insurance payout.

New roof installation on new construction means getting the ventilation right from the start. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements based on attic square footage and install the right combination of soffit vents and ridge vent. Saves you money on cooling bills in Illinois.

Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in Lockport. We install 29-gauge and 26-gauge corrugated with exposed fasteners using neoprene washer screws. For homes, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Cleaner look, no exposed fastener maintenance. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles give you the metal longevity with a traditional Illinois aesthetic.

Owens Corning Duration STORM shingles with triple-layer SureNail reinforcement strip. Rated to 130 mph wind per ASTM D7158. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking in humid Illinois climates. We install Duration in the full Owens Corning system for Preferred Protection or Platinum Protection warranty coverage.

We install Carlisle SynTec TPO and EPDM membrane systems with full Carlisle manufacturer warranties. Our Lockport commercial roofing crews are factory-trained and authorized. TPO seams are hot-air welded at 900+ degrees. The weld is stronger than the membrane itself. Ponding water? We install tapered ISO insulation to create positive drainage per NRCA guidelines.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Illinois's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.

Fallen tree limb damage requires structural assessment before repair. We check rafter integrity, decking condition, and whether the ceiling joists below were impacted. If structural members are cracked or displaced, you need a framing carpenter before we re-roof. We coordinate with trusted Lockport contractors for structural work. Insurance carriers require separate line items for structural vs. roofing repairs. We document both.

Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Lockport depending on size, type, and roof pitch. That includes the unit, flashing kit, interior trim, and roof patch-in. We handle everything from the outside in.
