If it is an emergency right now
Call 618-549-0800 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. Being further out from the metro is precisely why around-the-clock service matters in Herrin: we keep crews running southern Illinois routes instead of dispatching from across the river. For active water we tarp first and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone.
Storm damage and insurance
Southern Illinois takes the worst of it. Herrin and the rest of Williamson County sit in the path of the straight-line wind events that run the length of a county, and out here tree strike does as much damage as hail — limb punctures that never take a shingle off the slope and are invisible from the ground. Summer humidity then keeps a small leak working on the decking year-round. Distance is the other factor: this is exactly why it matters that our crews are already working the area rather than driving down from a metro office. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals, record the storm date, and inspect detached garages, barns and outbuildings alongside the house.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a roof replacement take?
- Most Herrin roofs are a single day. Larger homes or complicated rooflines take two to three days depending on pitch and access.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free, with photographs of every slope and a written report. No obligation and no follow-up pressure.
- Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
- Yes. Williamson County is a small market and we work it year round. Telling you the roof is fine costs us one job and keeps the next three.
- Do you pull permits?
- Yes. Herrin permits get pulled before the crew is scheduled and we handle the inspections ourselves.
