Collinsville Roofing Contractor, at a glance
Wind, not hail, is what takes most Collinsville roofs, and it usually starts at an unsealed rake edge on the west or southwest slope. We look at edges and ridge caps first here. Inspection and written estimate are free, and (314) 429-6000 is answered live at any hour.
What we find on Collinsville roofs
Open subdivisions with few windbreaks mean gusts hit the roof edge at full strength. Once wind lifts a rake shingle and breaks the factory seal, the row above unzips one shingle at a time over the following two storms. Homeowners call it a wind event. It was really three, and the first one did the damage.
The other thing we see constantly out here is builder-grade three-tab from the 80s and 90s that has gone brittle. You can hear it. Walk that roof in November and it crunches, which means any repair attempt breaks four shingles for every one you fix.

Insurance work in Illinois
Illinois carriers handle wind and hail differently than Missouri ones, and the deductible on a lot of Metro East policies is a percentage of the dwelling amount rather than a flat figure. Read that line before you file. It changes whether a claim is worth opening at all.
What we do is straightforward: inspect, document, and meet your adjuster on the roof so both of you are looking at the same shingles. We don't waive deductibles and won't work with anyone who offers to. That's fraud, and it puts your policy at risk, not ours.

Repairs we'll do, and ones we won't sell you
If a dozen shingles came off a rake and the rest of the roof is sound, we'll repair it and charge you for a repair. We'll also tell you when a repair is throwing money at a roof that's finished, because patching a brittle deck in year twenty-four is a way to spend twice.
Color match on an older roof is imperfect and we say so before the work, not after. From the ground, a properly blended repair disappears. Up close it won't, and anyone promising otherwise on a twenty-year-old roof is guessing.
Collinsville roofing questions
Are you licensed to work in Illinois?
Yes. We're licensed, insured and bonded on both sides of the river, and we'll send certificates before a crew ever pulls up. Ask any contractor for those first.
How far out is your Collinsville crew?
Our Edwardsville office covers this end of Madison and St. Clair County, so we're local to you, not dispatching from Missouri for every call.
An adjuster already denied my Collinsville claim. Now what?
Get it re-inspected before the appeal window closes. We photograph slope by slope and put dates to the damage. Sometimes the denial stands and we'll tell you that plainly.
Do you do metal roofs out here?
We install standing seam and exposed-fastener panel, which suits some of the outbuildings and shallow ranch roofs in this area. It costs more up front and lasts a lot longer.
Can you tarp a Collinsville roof at night?
Yes. Tarping is a stopgap and we treat it as one: stop the water, get eyes on it in daylight, then do the permanent repair properly.
