Roofing Services in Great Lakes

Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Great Lakes.

Metal Roof Installation

This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.

Flat Roof Repair

Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.

Roof Leak Repair

Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.

Roof Waterproofing

Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.

Roof Replacement

When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.

Gutter Guard Installation

We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.

Storm Damage Roof Repair

After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.

Emergency Roof Repair

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.

Wind Damage Roof Repair

Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.

Roof Repair

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.

Roof Coating

Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.

Skylight Repair & Installation

Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.

Metal Roof Repair

A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair

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.

Hail Damage Roof Repair

Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.

Roof Inspection

Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.

Commercial Roofing

Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.

Slate & Tile Roof Repair

Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.

Soffit & Fascia Repair

Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.

Ice Dam Removal

Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.

Your Great Lakes, IL Roofing Company

A metal roof is the thing we do best. Our family has been installing them out of Morganton, North Carolina since 2002, and our crews bring that same work to Great Lakes: standing seam, exposed fastener panels, and ridge and valley trim that fits instead of being forced.

Shingles still make sense on a lot of Great Lakes houses, and we will say so when they do. What we will not do is talk you into metal when your budget or your roof does not call for it. Estimates are free either way.

Why Great Lakes Homeowners Choose Us

Here is what Great Lakes homeowners tell us makes the difference.

Family Owned Since 2002

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.

Estimates Are Always Free

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.

Colors You Pick Yourself

Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.

Metal Roof Specialists

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.

We Show Up When We Say

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.

Is a metal roof worth it for a Great Lakes home?

For most Great Lakes 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.

Do you work with insurance after a storm in Great Lakes?

We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Great Lakes 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.

What does a new shingle roof cost in Great Lakes?

A typical Great Lakes shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.

How long does it take to put a new roof on in Great Lakes?

Most Great Lakes houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.

Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it in Great Lakes?

Often, yes. Plenty of the Great Lakes 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.

Can a metal roof go over the shingles already on my Great Lakes house?

Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Great Lakes 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.
