Our Services
Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Berkeley.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off down to the decking, inspect every board, replace what's rotten, and install a complete roofing system from ice and water shield up. Most residential jobs finished in 1-2 days.
Roof Repair
Step flashing at chimney walls is the number one leak source we see in Berkeley. Improper step flashing causes roof leaks. It's that simple. We install new step flashing with a chimney cricket for proper water diversion, sealed with Geocel tripolymer sealant. Fix it once, fix it right.
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
New roof installation on new construction means getting the ventilation right from the start. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements based on attic square footage and install the right combination of soffit vents and ridge vent. Saves you money on cooling bills in Illinois.
Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in Berkeley. We install 29-gauge and 26-gauge corrugated with exposed fasteners using neoprene washer screws. For homes, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Cleaner look, no exposed fastener maintenance. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles give you the metal longevity with a traditional Illinois aesthetic.
Shingle Roofing
Owens Corning Duration STORM shingles with triple-layer SureNail reinforcement strip. Rated to 130 mph wind per ASTM D7158. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking in humid Illinois climates. We install Duration in the full Owens Corning system for Preferred Protection or Platinum Protection warranty coverage. CertainTeed Landmark PRO with NailTrak technology is our alternative pick for Berkeley homeowners who want the max warranty tier.
Flat Roofing
PVC roofing membrane for Berkeley restaurants, commercial kitchens, and any rooftop near grease exhaust. PVC resists animal fats and chemical exposure that destroys TPO and EPDM. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom-fabricated accessories. Built-up roofing (BUR) with 3-4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt is still the longest-proven flat roof system with a 30+ year track record in Illinois.
Commercial Roofing
Modified bitumen (mod-bit) is still the best choice for high-traffic commercial roofs in Berkeley. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets over properly primed concrete or approved decking. Two-ply mod-bit systems carry 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties through GAF, Firestone, or Johns Manville. NRCA member. We follow the manual.
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 Berkeley). 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
We climb up, walk the entire roof, and document what we find with photos and measurements. Takes about 30 minutes. You see exactly what we see. No mysteries, no scare tactics.
Emergency Roof Repair
We keep tarps, plywood, and common repair materials on every truck. When you call (877) 349-1553 for an emergency, our crew shows up ready to work. Not ready to give you a sales pitch.
Skylight Installation
Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Berkeley depending on size, type, and roof pitch. That includes the unit, flashing kit, interior trim, and roof patch-in. We handle everything from the outside in.
