Maintenance & Repair

Residential Roofing

While many different roofing types exist, roofing with shingles is by far the most common method.  Asphalt shingles are cost-effective, have a high hail rating, and are easy to maintain and repair.  They come in two types: organic and glass fiber, each with their own strengths. 
 
Quickly gaining popularity in the roofing industry are metal roofs.  They are extremely durable and long-lasting, increase property values, and reduce the amount of energy consumed.  Sheet metal roofs generally last two or three times as long as shingles with their increased durability against the elements.  Unlike other roofing companies in Springfield, IL, we are one of the only experts in metal roofing in Springfield, IL!

Commercial Roofing

Unlike the sloped roofs found on residential homes, commercial roofs are extremely low slope (often referred to as “flat”) and can be constructed in many different ways.  Most are one layer configurations, known as single-ply, that are flexible and can cycle through softening and hardening as the temperatures change.

Metal: Chosen for its durability and longevity, metal roofs are quickly becoming popular in commercial roofing. 

EDPM: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer roofs are a very common commercial material because of their lower price point, simple and clean installation, and odor-free nature.  They’re one-ply and composed of rubber.

PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride is a single-layer roofing material best known for its ability to accommodate ponding water, phenomenal energy efficiency, fire-resistance, and seam-free design. 
​
TPO: Thermoplastic Olefin or Polyolefin combine the best features of different roofing materials to create a singly-ply rubber product that’s virtually seamless, durable, environmentally friendly, and resistant to algae and ozone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which roofing material is the best?
There’s no right answer for everyone.  It really depends on where your home is located, how much money you’re looking to spend, how long you need the roof to last.  We can work with you to determine the best option for your home and budget.  As a general rule, the pros and cons of each material are as follows:

• Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option, in most cases, which a large variety of colors and styles to choose from.  They can have every high wind resistance, repairs are easy, and maintenance is cost-effective.  Over the life of a home, though, asphalt shingles will cost more because of their need to be replaced more often.  They are prone to cracking in rapid temperature changes, aren’t as energy efficient as other options, and are prone to mold and algae growth.
• Wood shingles/shakes are recyclable, last 5-10 longer years than asphalt, and are naturally resistant to bugs and water.  On the other hand, wood shingles/shakes have expensive repairs, are prone to staining from the elements, and if they aren’t treated, their fire rating is lower and they’re higher maintenance than other options.
• Metal roofs are extremely durable, easily lasting 50-100 years.  They’re great at reflecting the sun (making it easier to control the climate inside the home), shed precipitation well, are recyclable, and can be made to look like shingles.  In terms of disadvantages, metal is more expensive, can be noisier during rain, is costlier to repair, and can be more difficult to break through during a fire.
• Clay, concrete, and composite tile roofs are long-lasting (40+ years), fire and bug resistant, and if light-colored, reflect the sun well.  Unfortunately, because they are heavier, additional support is required, making for most cost on top of the more expensive tile cost.  They are also more prone to breaking than other materials.  The only
• Slate tile roofing is very durable, lasing 40-60 years on average, is low maintenance, and naturally beautiful.   On the flip side, it’s very heavy, requiring a lot of additional support, must be installed by specialized contractors, and is more prone to breakage. Synthetic slate has all the positives of genuine slate but is lighter weight.

 
Which roofing material lasts the longest?
The answer is a tie between metal, slate, and tile/concrete, all boasting a 50+ year lifespan.  
 
Which roofing is the cheapest?
In most cases, asphalt shingles are the most cost-effective at the time of install, though over the life of a home, will end up costing more than other option due to its need to be replaced more often.
 
Which roofing material is most energy efficient?
Due to its reflective nature, metal roofing the most energy efficient option, saving homes up to 40% on their energy bill.  They also provide great insulation.
 
When is it time to replace my roof?
This all depends upon when it was installed and what it’s made of.  There are some telltale signs that it might be time for a replacement.  Here are some things to look for:

• Leaks in the roof, daylight coming into the attic, or staining along the top of the home.
• Your roof is near the end of its expected lifespan.  This is generally 25 years for asphalt, 30-35 years for wood, and 50 for metal, tile, or slate.
• Cracks, damage, or buckling in the material
• Cracking in the flashing around the chimneys, skylights, and vents
• Sags, droops, rots, or trapped moisture in the roof
• Growth of moss, mold, or fungi

 
Metal roofing vs shingles.  Which one?
Each material has pros and cons.  Asphalt shingles are cheaper to install, repair, and maintain, but are more prone to damage and will cost more over the lifetime of the home.  Metal roofs last 2-3 times as long as shingles, greatly lessen a home’s energy bills, and are recyclable, but are more expensive to install and repair.
 
When does roofing season start and end?
Springfield, IL roofing can be tricky due our Midwest climate.  The season typically runs from spring-late fall, with the busiest season spanning from late summer to early fall.  Roofs can only be installed when the temperature is above 40 degrees, limiting roof work during the winter in colder climates.  Additionally, when the temperature rises above 85, it can be dangerous for installers, limiting the numbers of hours they can work.
 
How much does roofing cost?
The cost to replace a roof depends on several factors, including material used, support needed, size, and pitch.  To make things even more complicated, labor costs vary contractor to contractor, averaging between $3-$6 per square foot in labor, up to close to $8 per square foot in expensive cities.  For the average home in the United States, material costs average:

• Shingles: $6k-$13k for shingles (the lower range being basic shingles and the upper range being premium)
• Steel, stone, or aluminum shingles: $12k-$19k
• Cedar shingles/shakes: $13k-$20k
• Concrete tile: $14k-$20k
• Natural slate: $15k-$31k
• Synthetic slate: $13k-$20k
• Clay tile: $17k-$31k
