FAQs
What makes your “no-pressure inspection” different from other roofing companies in Belvidere?
Our inspectors focus on educating, not selling. We examine shingles, flashing, decking, gutters and attic ventilation, take photos, and create a written condition report. You receive a prioritized list of maintenance and repair options, complete with transparent pricing, but we never ask for a same-day signature or deposit. You can review the information at your own pace, seek additional quotes, or decide to wait—there’s zero obligation and no pushy follow-up calls.
How quickly can you complete a typical roof repair in Belvidere weather conditions?
Most minor repairs—such as shingle replacement, pipe-boot sealing, or flashing re-caulk—are finished the same day we start. Moderate repairs that require partial deck replacement usually take one to two days. Scheduling is flexible: we work around Belvidere’s frequent spring rains and winter freezes to pick safe, dry work windows, and we keep you updated if the forecast shifts. Emergency tarp-offs are available within 4–6 hours to stop active leaks until permanent repair is possible.
Do I need to be home during the inspection and repair?
It’s helpful but not required. Inspections are performed from the exterior and attic access (if available). If you can’t be present, we’ll text you before we arrive, send geo-tagged photos of trouble spots, and email the full report and estimate. For repairs, our crews can work while you’re away; we simply need driveway and yard access. A final walkthrough video or in-person meeting lets you see exactly what was done before the invoice is issued.
What are the most common roof problems you find in Belvidere and how do you fix them?
The top issues are: 1) Hail-bruised architectural shingles after summer storms—solved by selective shingle replacement or full section reroofing depending on damage density. 2) Ice-dam back-ups along eaves—prevented with installation of ice-and-water membrane and improved attic insulation/ventilation. 3) Rusted flashing around chimneys and skylights—repaired by removing old metal, replacing underlayment, and fabricating new step or counter-flashing. 4) Wind-lifted ridge caps from open countryside gusts—re-secured with six-nail pattern and high-bond sealant. Each repair follows manufacturer specs so existing warranties stay intact.
Will you help me file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Yes. If our inspection shows hail or wind damage that meets Illinois insurance thresholds, we document it with photos, slope diagrams, and test squares. We can meet your adjuster on-site to discuss findings, supply itemized Xactimate estimates, and clarify code-upgrade requirements such as ice-shield. While we cannot negotiate your policy, our guidance streamlines the process and often prevents underpayment or claim denials.
How much does a roof repair cost and do you offer financing?
Small repairs like sealing a plumbing vent or replacing up to five shingles start around $250–$350. Medium repairs such as replacing a 4'×8' deck section and 1–2 bundles of shingles range from $750–$1,200. Larger repairs that address multiple slopes or extensive flashing work can be $1,500–$3,000. Every estimate is line-itemized so you can see labor, materials, and taxes. We accept major credit cards, offer 6- to 18-month same-as-cash financing through EnerBank, and provide discounted maintenance memberships for future savings.
