Our Services
Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Watson.
Roof Replacement
Our Watson crews tear off and replace 15-20 roofs a month. That kind of volume means tight installs, clean job sites, and no wasted time. Most homes are done in a day. Two-story steep-pitch jobs take two.
Roof Repair
Roof repairs get worse when you ignore them. A $400 flashing repair turns into $4,000 of water damage inside the wall. Our Watson crew can usually get there within 48 hours for non-emergency repairs.
Storm Damage Repair
After a storm in Watson, half the roofers in town show up knocking on doors. Most of them aren't from here. We are. We've been handling storm claims in Watson for 16 years. We know the adjusters, we know the process.
New Roof Installation
We price new installs by the roofing square (100 sq ft). Architectural shingles in Watson typically run $350-$550 per square installed, depending on the pitch and access. That includes materials, labor, cleanup, and warranty registration.
Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in Watson. 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
Architectural shingles are what 80% of Watson homeowners choose. They look better than 3-tab, last longer, and handle wind better. We install GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark.
Flat Roofing
Commercial flat roof replacement in Watson starts with a core sample to check the existing insulation. If it's waterlogged, everything comes off. If it's dry, we can sometimes overlay. Saves you $2-$4 per square foot.
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
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Illinois's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.
Roof Inspection
Annual roof inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 fix. Ignoring it means $3,000 in ceiling and wall water damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for roofs under 10 years old, and annually after that.
Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency roof repairs for active water intrusion follow a strict protocol: tarping with reinforced polyethylene sheeting secured to the roof deck, interior water extraction guidance, and temporary flashing at penetrations. Our Watson emergency crews carry 20x30 tarps, 2x4 nailer boards, and masonry anchors for various deck types. Permanent repairs are scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.
Skylight Installation
Vented skylights open to let hot air escape. Great for kitchens and bathrooms in Watson. Fixed skylights are cheaper and simpler. Solar-powered options from VELUX qualify for the federal 30% tax credit through 2032.
