62035 is Godfrey, on the Illinois side of the Mississippi just north of Alton. It has a mix of mid-century homes and newer construction, much of it on larger lots, and properties near the river bluffs and open ground take more direct wind than homes on tightly built streets.
Why does wind exposure matter for a Godfrey roof?
Wind lifts shingles at the edges and ridge first. A purpose-made starter course, correct nail placement and properly sealed ridge cap are what keep an exposed roof intact.
Do you work on the Illinois side of the river?
Yes. We serve Godfrey, Alton and the rest of the Metro East with the same crews, inspection process and warranty as our Missouri work.
Can you help with an insurance claim in Illinois?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and measurements, prepare an itemized scope and meet the adjuster.
What shingles do you install in the Riverbend?
Architectural and three-tab lines from major manufacturers. Our most recent Godfrey roofs were Owens Corning Duration.
