Our Services
Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Galena.
Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof isn't just about shingles. We install ice and water shield in the valleys and along eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on rake and eave, starter strip, and ridge vent. That's how a roof lasts 30 years in Illinois.
Roof Repair
Leak repairs in Galena start at $350 for a simple fix. We find the source with a water test or thermal scan, repair the damage, and warranty the work. If the repair costs more than 30% of a replacement, we'll tell you.
Storm Damage Repair
Hail, wind, fallen branches. Illinois storms do real damage to roofs. We respond within 24 hours, tarp exposed areas to prevent further damage, and start your insurance claim with a detailed inspection report.
New Roof Installation
A new roof installation starts with getting the specs right. Roof pitch determines your material options. Attic space determines ventilation needs. Local code determines underlayment requirements. We handle all of that before the first shingle goes on.
Metal Roofing
Thinking about metal roofing for your Galena home? Good choice. We'll walk you through standing seam vs exposed fastener, steel vs aluminum, and color options. Free estimate, no hard sell.
Shingle Roofing
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 Roofing
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 Galena areas.
Commercial Roofing
We install Carlisle SynTec TPO and EPDM membrane systems with full Carlisle manufacturer warranties. Our Galena 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.
Gutter Installation
Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for Galena). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".
Roof Inspection
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 Repair
Storm damage, fallen trees, sudden leaks. We handle all roofing emergencies in Galena. First we stop the water, then we fix the cause. Emergency response available 7 days a week.
Skylight Installation
We install, replace, and repair skylights in Galena 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.
