We warranty every repair for 5 years. If the same area leaks again due to our workmanship, we come back free. That warranty is in writing and it means something because we're a local Vermilion company. We're not disappearing.

After a major storm in Vermilion, we mobilize quickly. Emergency tarping within 24 hours to prevent secondary water damage. Then a full damage inspection once conditions allow. We use drone photography on larger commercial roofs to document everything the adjuster needs.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Illinois, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Designer shingles like GAF Camelot II, Owens Corning Berkshire, and CertainTeed Grand Manor mimic premium materials. Slate, cedar shake, heavy wood. They cost 30-50% more than standard architectural shingles but the curb appeal is worth it for higher-end Vermilion homes. Full manufacturer warranties included.

Modified bitumen is the best choice for residential flat roofs and low-traffic commercial applications in Vermilion. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets in a two-ply system. Granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic and UV exposure. 15-20 year warranty.

We install Carlisle SynTec and Firestone TPO membrane systems in 60-mil and 80-mil thickness over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation (more in climate zones requiring it). Seams hot-air welded at 900°F+ and tested with a seam probe. Fully adhered systems for wind uplift zones per FM I-90 or I-120. Mechanically attached for re-roofs over existing insulation. NRCA member, trained per manufacturer specifications.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Vermilion. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Illinois's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.
Get a Free Quote →Roof Inspection
Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

After we secure the tarp and stop the leak, we photograph and document everything while the damage is fresh. This documentation is critical for insurance claims. Adjusters want to see the damage before any repairs are made.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
Skylight installation includes cutting the roof opening, framing a curb with doubled 2x lumber, installing the unit with factory sealant, and weaving the step flashing into the surrounding shingle courses. Interior work includes drywall framing and trim. We handle the full job in Vermilion. Outside and inside.
