Professional Smithshire Roofing Contractor

A roof replacement in Smithshire typically runs $8,500 to $24,000 depending on the size and pitch. We give you an exact number upfront with a written proposal. No surprises on install day.

Not every problem needs a full replacement. Sometimes it's a blown-off shingle, a cracked pipe boot, or deteriorated valley flashing. We diagnose the actual issue and fix that. We don't upsell you into a new roof you don't need.

Storm damage claims in Illinois have a 1-year filing window with most carriers. Don't wait. We'll inspect your roof, document the damage, and help you file before the deadline. If there's no damage, we'll tell you that too.

New construction roof installation following IRC Section R905 and local Smithshire building code amendments. We calculate ventilation per IRC R806 (1:150 ratio reduced to 1:300 when 50% is within 3ft of ridge. Synthetic underlayment per ASTM D226, ice barrier per ASTM D1970 at eaves in freeze-thaw climate zones. Manufacturer-certified installation locks in the full system warranty.

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 Smithshire crew can usually fix it same-day.

Your shingle choice determines your warranty, your curb appeal, and how your roof handles Illinois weather. We'll show you samples, explain the differences, and let you pick what fits your budget. No pressure.

Flat roof leaks usually happen at penetrations, seams, or flashing details. We locate the source, repair it properly, and coat the surrounding area. If the membrane is shot, we'll recommend replacement. Not a band-aid.

We install Carlisle SynTec TPO and EPDM membrane systems with full Carlisle manufacturer warranties. Our Smithshire 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.

Infrared moisture scanning available for Smithshire commercial and flat roof inspections. Thermal imaging locates trapped moisture in the insulation layer without cutting core samples. We use Flir E8 cameras to map wet areas, then core sample only the suspect zones to confirm. Saves time, reduces disruption, and gives you a precise repair scope instead of a guess.

Storm damage, fallen trees, sudden leaks. We handle all roofing emergencies in Smithshire. First we stop the water, then we fix the cause. Emergency response available 7 days a week.

Skylights bring natural light into rooms that don't have it. Bathrooms, hallways, closets. We install VELUX and Fakro fixed and vented skylights with proper flashing kits designed for asphalt shingle roofs.
