Why Professional Roofing Matters
The roof is the building’s first line of defense against rain, snow, wind, and sun. Small leaks can cause significant interior damage, mold, and structural rot. A professionally installed roof ensures proper drainage, ventilation, and flashing details that prevent premature failure. Local weather challenges — including heavy snowfall and high winds — make robust installation and material choice essential.

Our Roofing Services
1. Roofing Inspections & Diagnostics
We assess roof condition, identify weakened flashing, areas of missing underlayment, ventilation issues, and worn shingles. We provide a written report with photos and recommended next steps.
Why it matters
Accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary replacement and ensures repair work targets the true problem, saving time and money.
How we help
We inspect decking, fastening, valleys, ridge details, and chimney/wall flashings to outline cost-effective solutions.
2. Roof Repair & Emergency Tarping
We address localized damage such as punctures, missing shingles, flashing failures, and leaks that can be caused by falling limbs or age-related deterioration.
Why it matters
Prompt repairs prevent water intrusion and further structural or interior damage.
How we help
We perform emergency tarping when immediate protection is needed, then provide a repair plan and timeline for permanent fixes.
3. Roof Replacement
When repair is no longer cost-effective, we provide full roof replacement with durable material options, including long-lasting steel shingles suited for the Midwest.
Why it matters
Replacement provides an opportunity to correct ventilation issues, update insulation, and ensure roof decking is sound.
How we help
We remove old roofing, inspect and repair decking, install appropriate underlayment, and apply new roofing with meticulous flashing detail and cleanup.
4. Steel Shingle Roofing
Steel shingles combine aesthetic appeal with the durability of metal roofing. They offer long life, resistance to wind and hail, and low maintenance.
Why it matters
Steel shingles deliver longevity and often lower life-cycle costs compared to standard asphalt shingles.
How we help
We recommend steel shingle systems where appropriate and install them with proper fasteners, trim, and sealing to manage thermal expansion.
5. Roof Maintenance & Ventilation Solutions
Routine maintenance extends roof life and prevents premature replacement. We also assess and correct ventilation and insulation issues to minimize ice damming and energy loss.
Why it matters
Proper attic ventilation and insulation balance reduces moisture buildup and prolongs roofing material life.
How we help
We clean gutters, inspect and replace deteriorated flashing, and recommend insulation or ventilation upgrades when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement typically take?
Time varies by size and complexity, but most residential roof replacements are completed within one to five days, depending on weather and substrate condition.
Are steel shingles noisy in rain?
Properly installed steel shingles on solid decking with insulation and underlayment perform quietly; noise is rarely an issue with modern installations.
Can tree work be coordinated with roofing?
Yes. We often schedule tree trimming or removal prior to roofing to prevent debris and future limb damage.
Will you handle insurance claims?
We provide documentation and damage reports to support claims. Direct communication with insurers is coordinated with the homeowner.
