Fairview Heights Roofing Contractor, at a glance
A Fairview Heights house built in the 1990s is now on borrowed time with its second roof, and the tell is granule buildup in the gutter trough rather than anything you can see from the street. We check gutters, soft metals and the south slope first. Call (314) 429-6000, answered live around the clock.
The age problem in Fairview Heights
Whole streets here went up inside a few years of each other, which means whole streets need roofs inside a few years of each other. That is good for scheduling and bad for pricing when a storm chaser rolls through and signs eleven neighbors in a weekend.
Take your time. A roof that has lasted twenty-two years will last another six weeks while you get two real bids from companies with a local address. We have been here since 1947 and we will still be here when the workmanship warranty matters.

Install and clean-up
One day for most Fairview Heights houses, magnetic sweep of the drive and lawn at the end.
What we install, and why
Standard on a replacement here: synthetic underlayment instead of felt, ice and water shield in the valleys and at the eaves where code calls for it, starter strip at the eaves and rakes, and ridge vent when the ridge run supports it. None of that is exotic. It's just what makes the wind warranty real.
As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor we can register extended system warranties, which requires using the matched components rather than mixing cheaper parts into the middle of the assembly. Our own workmanship warranty is lifetime and it's in writing. Warranty details.
Financing is available when the roof fails at an inconvenient time, which is most of the time. See the options.

A word about door-knockers
After every Metro East storm, crews with out-of-state plates work these subdivisions. Some are legitimate. Many sign a contingency agreement, take the insurance money, and are unreachable when the valley leaks in year three.
Check for a local office, a license number, and proof of insurance you can call and verify. We'll hand you all three without being asked, and you can drive to our Edwardsville office if you'd rather talk in person.
Fairview Heights roofing questions
How do I know if my 1990s roof is actually done?
Granules piling in the gutters, shingle corners curling on the south slope, and exposed nail heads at the ridge. Any two of those together and you're near the end. One alone might just be a repair.
Do you handle the permit for Fairview Heights?
Yes, we pull it and schedule the inspection. The fee is itemized in the estimate rather than added at the end.
Can you replace gutters at the same time as the roof?
That's the right way to do it. Drip edge and gutter apron only get detailed correctly when the gutters are off, and doing both at once costs less than two separate mobilizations.
What's the difference between three-tab and architectural shingle?
Weight and wind rating, mostly. Architectural is a laminated shingle, sheds better at the edges and holds a higher wind warranty. Almost every replacement we sell here is architectural.
Will you tell me if I don't need a new roof?
Regularly. If the inspection says you have five or six years left, that's what the report says, and we'll note what to watch for so you're not surprised.
