Silvis has noticeably younger housing than its neighbors on the Illinois side, with the median build year in the 1970s and a good share newer than that. Out toward the golf course the houses get larger and the roofs get more complicated.
Two Halves, Two Kinds of Roof
The older part of town is ordinary post war housing with simple roofs. Out east, around the golf course, the houses are larger and newer, with steeper pitches, more valleys and front elevations that were designed to be looked at.
The second kind is where material choice matters. A visible front slope on a large house is the one place where the difference between a standard shingle and a designer or metal roof shows from the street.
What We Get Called For in Silvis
