Quick repairs prevent expensive problems. A $400 flashing fix today prevents $4,000 of interior water damage next year. If a repair makes sense, we recommend it. If your roof is too far gone, we'll be straight about that too. Either way, you get an honest answer and a written quote.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Gilson inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Gilson crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in Illinois's weather.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial roof maintenance programs keep small problems from becoming big ones. We offer annual and semi-annual inspection contracts for Gilson building owners. We find and fix issues before they cause interior damage to your inventory, equipment, or tenant spaces.

Seamless aluminum in 5" K-style is the standard for Gilson residential. We use 6" K-style on larger homes, steeper pitches, or roof areas with high water volume. Downspouts are 2x3" on 5" gutters and 3x4" on 6" gutters. Matched to handle the flow.

Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

Our trucks carry 20x30 reinforced tarps, 2x4 lumber, plywood sheets, pipe boots, ridge cap shingles, flashing stock, roofing cement, and neoprene screws. We show up ready to secure your roof, not ready to schedule a follow-up appointment.

We install three types of skylights: fixed (sealed, just for light), vented (opens for airflow. Great for bathrooms and kitchens), and tubular (flexible tube through the attic. For tight spaces where a standard skylight won't fit). Each serves a different purpose.
