Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Emergency roof repairs in Kent within 24 hours for active leaks. We tarp the area to stop immediate water entry, then schedule the permanent fix. Weekend and holiday emergency service available. Call (877) 349-1553.

Wind damage and hail damage look different and require different documentation. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know what adjusters look for: granule displacement patterns, fractures in the shingle mat, seal failures, cracked ridge caps. Proper documentation is why our claims get approved.

Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Standing seam metal with Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer finish. The gold standard for color retention and chalk resistance. We install Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal panels in 24-gauge Galvalume steel. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance (qualifies for insurance discounts in most Illinois markets). UL 790 Class A fire rating. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592 testing. Concealed Z-clips allow thermal expansion without stress on fasteners. That's what makes standing seam leak-proof.

The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in Illinois's weather.

PVC membrane for Kent restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in Illinois. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.
