Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
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.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
We are a family roofing company with roots in Morganton, North Carolina going back to 2002. What began as metal roofs for neighbors turned into two decades of tin roofs, shingle roofs, repairs and church steeples, and Markham homeowners now reach us through our network of local crews.
A city like Markham has no shortage of roofers knocking on doors after a storm. We are not that. We come when you call, we look at what you actually have, and estimates are always free.
Nothing fancy — free estimates, honest answers, and roofs that go on straight.
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.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from Markham, IL homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Markham roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Markham 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Markham metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
For most Markham homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Markham metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Markham 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.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
