We have been on roofs across Jackson 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.
How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Limb-strike punctures or scuffed slopes after a wind event
- Shingles creased or lifted by open, unsheltered wind exposure
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes
- Decking that feels soft underfoot, a sign humidity has been working on a slow leak
- Granules washing into gutters or piling at splash blocks
- Damage on a barn, outbuilding or detached garage roof that was never claimed
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
- Barns, outbuildings and detached garages inspected with the house — on rural lots they belong in the same claim
- 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
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 Murphysboro: 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. Murphysboro and the rest of Jackson 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
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several vendors. The written Murphysboro price comes first, because older homes sometimes need deck repair that changes the number.
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free, with photographs of each slope and a written report. Older Murphysboro homes hide a lot at the flashings, and that is what the photos are for.
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's shingle warranty. Murphysboro's older housing stock fails at the details - flashing, valleys, penetrations - which is squarely workmanship.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, Illinois state licensed and insured. Ask any contractor working Murphysboro for the license number and the insurance certificate, and verify both.
