East Moline is mostly mid century housing built for people who worked the plants along the river. Simple roofs, modest footprints and a stock that has largely been through two replacements.
Simple Roofs, Sensible Money
The typical roof here is a straightforward gable with few penetrations. That is genuinely good news. It means the labor line is short, the job is one day, and the money goes into materials rather than complexity.
It also means the difference between a basic shingle and a good one is a smaller total number than it would be on a big house, which makes moving up a grade unusually easy to justify here.
The Riverfront Is Changing
Redevelopment along the river has brought newer construction and converted buildings into the mix. Converted industrial property often means large low slope membrane roofs, which is a different trade from the houses around them.
