We have been on roofs across Franklin 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
- 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
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 West Frankfort: 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.
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
Storm damage and insurance
Southern Illinois takes the worst of it. West Frankfort and the rest of Franklin 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
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free, with no obligation. We photograph every slope and give you a written report whether or not you hire us.

- Lifetime workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer's shingle warranty. A warranty is only as good as the company behind it, and we have been family owned since 1947.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes. Illinois issues state roofing contractor licenses and we hold one, along with full liability and workers compensation coverage. Ask every bidder to produce theirs.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several lenders. The written West Frankfort price comes first, then we review which option actually costs least.
