"We had a new roof put on our house in early August, 2021 by Community Roofing. They did an excellent job; there was hardly any waiting, they did it all in a day, the clean-up was great, and the roof looks good. Among the few cost estimates we had considered, Community Roofingâ s was the lowest, which caused us to be somewhat skeptical at first. But after a chat with the company president, we felt comfortable and did hire actually them. As of today, we are glad that Community Roofing replaced our roof and would warmly recommend them."
"Westside Construction did an amazing job on my roof. All of the crew members were very professional and the owner Wes was informative and addressed all of my questions throughout the entire process. I strongly recommend Westside Construction for anyone looking for a new roof and or a roof repair!"
"This company was very professional and honest. Our roof is in the middle of 4 units and our section cannot be replaced on its own, This was explained very well."
"I had a shingle roof, fascia, soffits, gutters and drain pipes replaced. The entire job took less than week! The crews showed up early and worked until dark. They were skilled and answered all my questions. The roof and all the metal work are beautiful. I had several estimates before I selected Zeller. The estimate Mario put together was detailed. He spent at least an hour looking at my roof and took about 50 pictures of my roof and attic. When he was done he explained what I needed to do and answered all my questions. At this point I decided if their estimate was competitive I would go with Zeller. Once the job started he kept in contact just making sure that the work was going well. Putting a roof on my house is the most expensive home improvement I have had done. I was a little apprehensive. It was a great experience. I recommend Zeller to anyone thinking about a new roof."

"Central Illinois Roofing and Renovation got the job done in two days removing our old roof and replacing it with a new medal roof. They were so professional in the business part and even more professional in their work and politeness. My Wife and I are very happy with them and our new roof. They also did a very good job cleaning up all leftover debris. We're looking forward to calling them again on other needed projects in the future. Thank you for have them on your list. P. Young"
"Came out. Evaluated the work to be done. Quoted a price. Since I was moving shortly, fit me in their schedule. Excellent work. Even sealed along the edge of the roof, which was above and beyond what they had committed to do. Don't hesitate to hire these guys."
Generally, the term “rolled roofing” refers to MSR (mineral surface roll) roofing. This type of roofing is similar to asphalt shingles but comes in a roll that’s unraveled and installed over your roof deck. There are many types of rolled roofing, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofing (aka torch down roofing).
Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.
It’s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve winterizing sprinklers, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.
Tile roofing is durable, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient. It also adds aesthetic appeal and, with proper maintenance, can last 50-100 years.
If your roof is nearing the 20-year mark in age, you probably should start worrying about the roof’s longevity. If you don’t know the age, it may be time to figure out who installed your roof, so you can estimate the age accurately. You then can make plans to pay for the upcoming roof replacement. You also can learn how to inspect a roof yourself to look for signs of damage that may indicate a need for a replacement.
