Roof Replacement
We replace roofs. It's what we do more than anything else. Our Saint Elmo crews average 15-20 complete tear-off and replacements per month. That kind of volume means we've seen every situation: steep pitches, multiple layers, rotted decking, improper ventilation from the last guy. We fix all of it and install a roof system that's warranted for decades.

Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

After every major storm in Saint Elmo, 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 underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Illinois, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Architectural shingles are what we install on 90% of Saint Elmo homes. They're thicker, heavier, and more wind-resistant than the old 3-tab flat shingles. They also look dramatically better. Dimensional profiles that mimic wood shake or slate. Standard architectural shingles carry a 30-year warranty. Premium versions go to 50.

TPO single-ply membrane is our most-installed flat roof system in Saint Elmo. White reflective surface reduces cooling costs, hot-air welded seams are watertight, and 15-20 year manufacturer warranties are standard. Available in 45-mil, 60-mil, and 80-mil thickness.

TPO is our most-installed commercial membrane in Saint Elmo. 60-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, mechanically attached or fully adhered over polyiso insulation. The weld is stronger than the membrane. 15-20 year manufacturer warranties depending on system build-up.

Emergency protocol for active water intrusion: (1) interior containment. 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. Permanent repair scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
We install three types of skylights: fixed (sealed, just for light), vented (opens for airflow. Great for bathrooms and kitchens), and tubular (flexible tube through the attic. For tight spaces where a standard skylight won't fit). Each serves a different purpose.
