Bloomington’s Trusted Roofing Company

It’s pretty unfortunate that there are others out there that will see an issue, ignore it, and cover it up with new material. Usually this is done to save time, and the unsuspecting homeowner will have no idea.

We believe in doing unto others as we would want them to do unto us. It’s what you pay for and it is what you deserve–the best! We simply refuse to place new material, like shingles, on top of damaged or rotted wood. We want our work to last for decades.

If we find any surprises, then we can fix it. We can fix your decking, we can fix any sagging that is present, and we can fix, replace, or reinforce any broken rafters or support beams that are present. We will take care of all of those trouble areas that we uncover during the tear off phase. We can often fix all of the framing in the same day.

As for the skylight, the last thing you want is to have a leak in the glass after having a new roof installed. It is usually a good idea to update the skylight as we’re updating the roof. We can install your new skylight while we are up there installing everything else.

This is a great question! Both are very good options.

Metal roofs have been all the rage in the past 5-10 years because they have a 50 year life expectancy. They look amazing once they are installed, and the thought of never having to replace your roof for the rest of your life sounds pretty ideal to just about every homeowner.

Our tendency is to save people money, and shingles are the more affordable option across the board. Not long ago shingles were only meant to last between 10-20 years or so, but that has all changed. Now there are shingles that are thicker and more durable. There are brands that now last 30, 40, and even 50 years.

If price isn’t a concern, and if you are considering going with metal (we are also big fans of metal roofs), then we like to warn everyone about our few concerns regarding metal roofs. First, the paint tends to fade after only 4 or 5 years. Once that happens, the roof no longer looks new. The next time you drive around town take notice. If you see one that looks amazing, then you can ask the homeowner and he or she will confirm it was installed less than 5 years ago. There is a product that can extend the paint life another year or two, but that’s about it. Secondly, any dents caused by baseballs, golf balls, hail damage, or anything similar will also show up pretty noticeably.

We feel that metal roofs are a fantastic option for homes with flat roofs, and commercial or industrial businesses. That’s because the top isn’t visible from the ground, and nobody will see it.

One thing worth mentioning is that most materials, like shingle roofs, are much easier to repair in the future. We can replace a small section and be done pretty quickly. That is not the case with metal roofs. We’ve already been called in to repair work on metal roofs installed by other companies. Those are not easy to fix. It usually requires us to remove many layers of panels, because they are all interlocked together, in order to get to the area that needs repairing. This is a good reason why you should work with us to get your metal roof installed. It’s a difficult product to work with, and many companies are not installing it properly greatly reducing its life expectancy from 50 years to only three or four.

The answer to this questions is “YES, we do that, too!”

This just might be our #1 most frequently asked question. Many homeowners want to know a ballpark number, or the average price per square foot of the new roof replacement. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers to this question. Ideally, if we find damage that may have come from something that will be covered by your insurance company, then the price per square foot would be astronomically less expensive. Plus, the cost to replace a roof depends on many factors like the material you wish to choose, the size of your home, any additional work that you might also want done, like replacing your fascia or ordering you a new skylight that is a unique size, or any number of other factors. For this reason, it just makes sense for you to give us a call and schedule a Free Inspection. We look forward to hearing from you. Simply pick up the phone and give us a call today!
