Residential & Commercial Roofing in Herscher
We don't do a little of everything. We do roofing. That specialization is why we can offer manufacturer certifications and the best warranties available to Herscher homeowners.
Roof Replacement
Your roof replacement includes a full-system install: ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the entire deck; aluminum drip edge at rake and eave; starter strip with sealant; architectural shingles with 130+ mph wind rating; and continuous ridge vent for proper attic ventilation. We also install new pipe boots and vent flashing on every penetration.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Herscher homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

After every major storm in Herscher, out-of-town companies flood the area offering free inspections. They're not all bad, but many are. We're local, we're licensed, and we'll be here to honor the warranty. Storm chasers won't be.

New construction roofing in Herscher starts with getting the design details right before materials arrive. Roof pitch, attic ventilation needs, snow load requirements, and local code amendments all affect material selection and installation methods. We coordinate with your general contractor or architect to ensure the roof system matches the building specifications.

Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Herscher crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Illinois winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Herscher home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50+ year track record as a flat roofing membrane. We install fully adhered EPDM with taped or glued seams over polyiso insulation. It's a great option for Herscher building owners who want proven performance at a lower cost than TPO or PVC.

Commercial roof maintenance programs keep small problems from becoming big ones. We offer annual and semi-annual inspection contracts for Herscher building owners. We find and fix issues before they cause interior damage to your inventory, equipment, or tenant spaces.

Gutter replacement in Herscher costs $8-$15 per linear foot installed. That includes hangers, end caps, outlet drops, miters, and at least two downspout runs. Copper is $25-$40 per foot. We give exact pricing in the estimate. No ranges.

Annual inspections catch small problems early. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 repair. A year of water leaking through that crack causes $3,000+ in ceiling, insulation, and drywall damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for newer roofs, annually for roofs over 15 years.

Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance.
