Your roof is more than just shingles
After decades on the ladder, we’ve seen it all. A roof isn't just the shingles you see from the curb; it’s a complex system of ventilation, moisture barriers, and structural integrity.
If one part fails, like a poorly installed drip edge or a clogged ridge vent, the whole system suffers. That’s why we don’t just "patch and go." We inspect your decking for rot and go above-code with our waterproofing. We treat your home like it’s our own, because in the Midwest, "good enough" isn't enough when ice dams start forming.

Choose Your Shield: Residential Roofing Options
Asphalt Shingles
The gold standard for versatility and value. We offer heavy-duty architectural shingles that provide depth, color-matching for any siding, and high-wind resistance.
- Best for: Most residential homes.
- Pro Tip: We recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for better protection and lower insurance rates in hail-prone areas.
Metal Roofing
Surging in popularity for its lifetime of protection. Our metal systems use a "Standing Seam" design, meaning the fasteners are hidden under the metal, protected from the rain and sun.
- Best for: Forever homes and modern architectural styles.
- Pro Tip:Â Avoid "screw-down" metal for heated living spaces. As your home breathes, the metal expands and contracts, which can wallow out screw holes over time. Standing seam allows the roof to "float" and stay watertight for decades.
Composite Shake & Slate Roofing
The luxury look of natural cedar or hand-cut slate without the massive weight or maintenance. Meant to last over 50 years, these tiles are made from a specialized polymer blend that won't rot, crack, or attract pests.
- Best for: High-end traditional aesthetic.
- Pro Tip:Â Unlike real wood, our composite roofs are Class A Fire Rated and Class IV Impact Resistant. Both ratings can lower insurance premiums.

Roofing FAQS Common Roofing Questions
There isn't one "perfect" roof for everyone, but there is a perfect roof for your specific needs.
Here is how we break it down by category:
- For Best Value: Asphalt Shingles. Modern architectural shingles offer great wind resistance and a classic look at the most accessible price point. These can also make the most sense if you plan to move in the next 5-10 years.
- For Maximum Longevity: Metal Roofing. It survives hail and heavy snow better than any other material and is likely the last roof you'll ever buy. Metal roofing also provides a unique modern look compared to traditional shingle styles.
- For High-End Aesthetics: Composite (Synthetic) Shingles. These provide the longevity of metal with the stunning look of hand-cut slate or cedar shakes but are lighter, fire-rated, and won't rot.
- For the Best of Both: Stone-Coated Steel Roofing. The strength of structural steel disguised as traditional roofing. Fire rated and manufacturer warranted to up to 2.5" hail.
Choosing a material is only half the battle. The components and accessories alongside the shingles are critical. The style, placement, and quantity of intake and exhaust vents need to be calculated based on your roof's square footage and pitch. Also, the quality of underlayment, the moisture barrier, can directly impact the performance and longevity of your entire roof. We don't just shingle; we calibrate your roof to last.
Because every roof has a unique "footprint," we provide custom detailed estimates rather than flat rates. Depending on the factors below, an asphalt roof typically costs between $4 - $8 per square foot.
When we calculate your investment, we look at four primary factors:
- The "Square" Count: Roofing is measured in 10' x 10' areas called "squares." The larger and steeper the roof, the more material and safety equipment are required.
- Material Selection: There is a significant range between standard asphalt shingles, architectural composite tiles, and standing seam metal.
- The "Tear-Off" Factor: We inspect your decking for rot. If your existing wood is healthy, the cost is lower as there is no need to replace it. However, if we find "soft spots" or multiple layers of old shingles, we need to remove and replace those to ensure your roof is up to code and meets manufacturer specifications for warranty.
- Complexity & Flashing: A simple "up and over" gable roof is less labor-intensive than a roof with multiple valleys, dormers, and chimneys that require custom-bent metal flashing.
Don't let the upfront cost stall a necessary repair. An old or leaking roof only gets more expensive the longer you wait. When insurance is unable to cover you, we offer flexible loans and monthly payment plans to make high-quality protection fit your budget.
If you suspect damage to your roof, call us as soon as possible. To determine whether you require a complete roof replacement or a roof repair, our team of expert contractors will need to inspect the structure for exposure and weak points. After assessing the damage, we'll walk you through your options and quickly work to help you prevent the damage from becoming a more significant issue.
We recommend replacing your roof soon after it gets past about 80% of the manufacturer's expected lifespan. The later you wait the more susceptible you are to damage. There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it may be time for a roof replacement.
Some of those warning signs include:
- Curled or cupped shingle edges
- Missing granules and bald spots
- Cracked or missing shingles
- Algae growth
- Mold in your attic
Drones are a useful way to conduct routine roof inspections and assess the extent of storm damage. Drones allow our contractors to quickly and safely observe hard-to-reach areas, capture close-up aerial views, and eliminate the need for scaffolding, ladders, and other roofing equipment.
Using drones to inspect your roof is not only time-efficient for our team but safer as well. Whether you're enlisting our services for an emergency or maintenance, our drones will help us pinpoint any problem areas to get repairs started early on.
