Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Shipman, IL homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Shipman.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Shipman homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Shipman home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Here is what Shipman homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
No. Estimates are always free in Shipman. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Shipman ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Shipman roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
A metal roof installed properly on a Shipman home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
A typical Shipman shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Shipman year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
