Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Shabbona, IL homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
Here is what working with us looks like in Shabbona: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Shabbona homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Shabbona call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Straight answers to what Shabbona homeowners ask us most often.
A typical Shabbona shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Shabbona metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
For most Shabbona homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
No. Estimates are always free in Shabbona. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Shabbona roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Shabbona metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
