We have been on roofs across Madison County long enough to know what fails here first. It is almost never the middle of the slope. It is the flashing, the valleys and the ventilation.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Shingles creased or lifted after a straight-line wind event, even with none missing
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Builder-grade shingles at eighteen to twenty-five years, especially on south and west slopes
- Granule loss concentrated on the steepest, most sun-exposed planes
- Ceiling stains near valleys, dormers and bath vents on cut-up rooflines
- Neighbors on your street having roofs replaced — subdivisions age together
Why people here call us back
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation, standard
- BBB Torch Award recognized — an award for ethics, not advertising
- Best Value Guarantee — best value or we pay you $200
- HOA and subdivision color approvals handled — we confirm the approved color list before the tear-off, not after
- Family-owned since 1947, headquartered just across the river in Maryland Heights — not a storm chaser with a rented office
- Adjuster-ready documentation on every inspection, because Illinois claims are won on evidence
- 24/7 real answer at a local 618 number, not a national dispatch queue
Storm damage and insurance
Edwardsville has grown fast, and a lot of Madison County roofs went on within a few years of each other — so whole subdivisions reach the end of their service life together, and a single hail line can put an entire street into claims at once. Builder-grade shingles bruise in the mat rather than on the surface, and wind creasing leaves shingles in place but structurally broken, which is why so much of this damage gets missed from the driveway. Cut-up rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers concentrate the failures at the flashing, so we price and install new metal instead of reusing it. Illinois claims are won on documentation gathered while damage is fresh: slope by slope, soft metals included, storm date recorded.
Gutters matter as much as the roof in Edwardsville. Our sister crew at St. Louis Gutter Company handles seamless gutters, guards and downspouts for Edwardsville homes.
If it is an emergency right now
Call 618-549-0800 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. Two-story elevations and steeper pitches are common in Edwardsville, so we bring proper staging to tarp safely rather than working off a ladder. For active water we photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone. Crews are already running Madison County routes.

Frequently asked questions
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, licensed by the State of Illinois and insured. After a Madison County hail event, ask every door-knocker for their Illinois license number - most cannot give you one.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free, with a written report and photographs of each slope. No obligation and no pressure, whether you are filing a claim or just want to know where you stand.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. Edwardsville permitting is handled by the city and we pull it before scheduling, then meet the inspector on site. Subdivision covenants sometimes add a color approval step.
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty from us on top of the manufacturer's shingle coverage. Edwardsville's newer subdivisions get sold on shingle brand, but installation is what fails.
