Professional Preemption Roofing Contractor. GAF Certified

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 Preemption home for the Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year workmanship plus 50-year material.

Roof repairs get worse when you ignore them. A $400 flashing repair turns into $4,000 of water damage inside the wall. Our Preemption crew can usually get there within 48 hours for non-emergency repairs.

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.

We do metal roof repairs too. Loose panels, failed sealant at transitions, rust spots on older galvanized. Not every metal issue needs a full replacement. Our Preemption crew can usually fix it same-day.

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. CertainTeed Landmark PRO with NailTrak technology is our alternative pick for Preemption homeowners who want the max warranty tier.

TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, fully adhered or mechanically attached over polyiso insulation board. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure. We use tapered ISO insulation to create minimum 1/4" per foot slope to drains. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone Preemption areas.

Our Preemption commercial crews handle everything from small retail strip centers to 50,000 sq ft warehouses. TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal. We're certified installers for all major commercial membrane systems.

We offer aluminum, copper, and steel gutters for Preemption homes. Most folks go with .027 gauge seamless aluminum. It's durable, affordable, and comes in 25+ colors. Copper looks amazing but costs 3-4x more.

Our 27-point roof inspection covers: shingle condition, granule loss, nail pops, lifting tabs, ridge cap integrity, valley flashing, step flashing at walls, drip edge, pipe boot seals, vent function, soffit ventilation, gutter pitch, downspout capacity, fascia condition, decking (from attic if accessible), and visible signs of moisture in the attic. Written report with photos emailed same day.

Emergency roof repairs for active water intrusion follow a strict protocol: tarping with reinforced polyethylene sheeting secured to the roof deck, interior water extraction guidance, and temporary flashing at penetrations. Our Preemption emergency crews carry 20x30 tarps, 2x4 nailer boards, and masonry anchors for various deck types. Permanent repairs are scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.

We install, replace, and repair skylights in Preemption homes. Fogged glass, cracked frames, persistent leaks around old skylights. We fix it all. Sometimes replacing a 20-year-old skylight is cheaper than trying to repair it.
