Recent project: South Delmar Avenue, Hartford, IL 62048
Completed October 2026. A 30-square roof replacement on South Delmar Avenue in Hartford, IL 62048.

Every roof we install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.
Hartford sits on Illinois Route 3 between Wood River and the river bottoms, a few minutes from the Lewis and Clark State Historic Site where the Corps of Discovery wintered before heading west. Much of the village is modest post-war housing with simple gable roofs, plus older frame homes on the original streets. Simple roofs are efficient to replace, but open river-bottom ground means wind reaches them with very little in the way.
What did John Beal Roofing install on South Delmar Avenue?
A full 30-square replacement completed in October 2026: GAF Royal Sovereign shingles over 15-lb felt, ice and water shield, a starter strip, GAF hip and ridge cap and a Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent for continuous attic ventilation along the peak.
Why choose a three-tab shingle like GAF Royal Sovereign?
Royal Sovereign gives a clean, flat three-tab look that matches a lot of the surrounding Hartford homes, with algae-resistant granules and a lower cost than dimensional lines. For a straightforward gable roof, it's a sensible, budget-conscious choice that still goes on with a full matched GAF ridge.
Do I need a village permit to reroof in Hartford, IL?
Hartford is an incorporated village, and the village sets the permit requirement for work inside its limits. We check before the job and handle whatever filing is required.
Are you the same roofers Alton and Wood River homeowners call?
Yes. Hartford, Wood River, Roxana, East Alton and Alton are all served by the crews that work the Illinois side of our St. Louis market, so a roofer search in Alton and one in Hartford lead to the same team.
What should Hartford homeowners watch for after a storm?
On exposed lots, wind usually shows up first at the rakes and ridge: missing tabs, lifted edges, torn ridge cap. Hail shows as dents in vents and gutters and bruised shingles. We document both slope by slope if you need to file a claim.
