Roofing Services in Essex

Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.

Wind Damage Roof Repair

If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.

Slate & Tile Roof Repair

An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.

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.

Metal Roof Installation

Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.

Roof Leak Repair

One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.

Commercial Roofing

We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.

Roof Coating

Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.

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.

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.

Skylight Repair & Installation

New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.

Roof Inspection

Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.

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.

Metal Roof Repair

We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.

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.

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.

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.

Flat Roof Repair

Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.

Roof Waterproofing

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

Emergency Roof Repair

Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.

Hail Damage Roof Repair

Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.

Your Essex, IL Roofing Company

Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Essex homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.

We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Essex home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what Essex homeowners ask us most often.

What does a new shingle roof cost in Essex?

A typical Essex 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.

Is a metal roof loud in the rain in Essex?

Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Essex metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.

Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it in Essex?

Often, yes. Plenty of the Essex 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.

How much does a metal roof cost in Essex?

Most Essex metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.

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

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

Do you work with insurance after a storm in Essex?

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