Roofing Services in Davenport and the Quad Cities
Fifteen things, listed plainly. Most people arrive needing one of the first six. Each page says what the work is, what it costs in the way roofing is actually priced, and when we would tell you not to do it.
Roofs, Start to Finish
Roof Replacement
A roof replacement takes the old roof down to the wood, fixes what is wrong underneath and builds a new roof on top, usually in one day.
Read moreRoof Repair
A good roof repair fixes the thing that let water in, not the stain it left behind, and most Quad Cities leaks start at flashing rather than at the shingles.
Read moreFree Roof Inspection
A real roof inspection ends with photographs and a number of years, not with a salesman in your kitchen.

Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency roof repair is two jobs. Stop the water tonight, then fix the roof properly once it is safe and dry to work on.
Read moreRoof Tarping
Roof tarping buys you dry weeks, and it only works if the tarp is fastened over the ridge with battens rather than weighted down with whatever was in the yard.
Read moreStorm and Hail Damage
Hail damage on an asphalt roof looks like round bruises with the granules knocked off, and it often does not leak for a year or more, which is exactly why it gets missed.
Read moreInsurance Claim Help
On a roof insurance claim the roofer documents the damage and meets the adjuster, and the homeowner files the claim, because only the policyholder can.
Read moreIce Dam Removal
An ice dam is a heat problem wearing a winter costume, and the roof is where it shows rather than where it starts.

Gutters and Downspouts
Gutters exist to keep water away from the foundation, so where the downspout ends matters as much as the gutter itself.
Read moreAttic Ventilation
Attic ventilation is the cheapest thing that makes a roof last longer, and a roof installed over a badly vented attic will not reach the age on its warranty.
Read moreChimney and Flashing
Flashing is the metal that seals every place a roof meets something else, and it is the source of most roof leaks in houses of this age.
Read moreSkylight Installation
A skylight that leaks is almost always a flashing failure rather than a broken skylight, and the cure is a proper flashing kit.
Read moreSiding and Trim
Siding and trim belong in the same conversation as the roof, because the same hailstorm hits both and the same water gets into both.
Read moreFlat Roofs and Buildings
Flat and Low Slope Roofing
A flat roof is never actually flat, and shingles must never go on one, because shingles need gravity and a flat roof holds water instead.
Read moreCommercial Roofing
Commercial roofing is mostly membrane over a large low slope deck, and the money is made or lost on drainage and on catching failures early.
Read moreNot Sure Which One You Need
No sales call. A roofer looks at the roof and tells you what it needs.
