Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Gilman.
Roof Replacement
Owens Corning Duration shingles with SureNail technology rated to ASTM D3462 and D7158 Class H wind resistance. Our Gilman crews install TruDefinition Duration in a full Owens Corning system. ProArmor synthetic underlayment, VentSure ridge vent, and Starter+ starter strip. Preferred Protection warranty included.
Roof Repair
Leak repairs in Gilman start at $350 for a simple fix. We find the source with a water test or thermal scan, repair the damage, and warranty the work. If the repair costs more than 30% of a replacement, we'll tell you.
Storm Damage Repair
Hail, wind, fallen branches. Illinois storms do real damage to roofs. We respond within 24 hours, tarp exposed areas to prevent further damage, and start your insurance claim with a detailed inspection report.
New Roof Installation
Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles with Scotchgard algae protection. Ideal for Illinois humidity. We also install Tamko Heritage laminated shingles for budget-conscious builds and Malarkey Vista AR with Flexor SBS polymer-modified asphalt for high-wind zones. Your installer should match your material choice to your climate, not just your budget.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing costs more upfront at $12-$22 per sq ft installed in Gilman compared to $4-$8 for shingles. But it lasts 2-3x longer and your energy bills drop 15-25%. Math works out over time.
Shingle Roofing
Three-tab shingles are cheaper upfront but they don't hold up like architectural. We recommend them for sheds, detached garages, and rental properties where budget matters more than aesthetics. For your Gilman home? Go architectural.
Flat Roofing
Modified bitumen is our go-to for residential flat roofs in Gilman. Two-ply torch-applied system with a granulated cap sheet. It handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and Illinois UV better than single-ply at the residential scale.
Commercial Roofing
TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Illinois. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.
Gutter Installation
Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for Gilman). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".
Roof Inspection
Infrared moisture scanning available for Gilman commercial and flat roof inspections. Thermal imaging locates trapped moisture in the insulation layer without cutting core samples. We use Flir E8 cameras to map wet areas, then core sample only the suspect zones to confirm. Saves time, reduces disruption, and gives you a precise repair scope instead of a guess.
Emergency Roof Repair
Storm damage, fallen trees, sudden leaks. We handle all roofing emergencies in Gilman. First we stop the water, then we fix the cause. Emergency response available 7 days a week.
Skylight Installation
Vented skylights open to let hot air escape. Great for kitchens and bathrooms in Gilman. Fixed skylights are cheaper and simpler. Solar-powered options from VELUX qualify for the federal 30% tax credit through 2032.
