Elwood Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
From quick fixes to major projects, Elwood Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Elwood homeowners call for 20 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
Your roof replacement includes a full-system install: ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the entire deck; aluminum drip edge at rake and eave; starter strip with sealant; architectural shingles with 130+ mph wind rating; and continuous ridge vent for proper attic ventilation. We also install new pipe boots and vent flashing on every penetration.

Roof Repair
Our roof repair process: inspect the issue, identify the root cause, quote the fix, do the work, warranty the repair. Simple. If the root cause is widespread (poor ventilation causes ice dams, for example), we'll recommend addressing that too. But the choice is always yours.

Storm Damage Repair
Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Elwood 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.

New Roof Installation
For Elwood new builds, we recommend Tamko Heritage or Malarkey Vista AR for budget-conscious projects and Atlas Pinnacle Pristine with Scotchgard for algae-resistant performance. High-end builds get GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration STORM. Each carries different warranty tiers. We walk you through the comparison so you're choosing with real information, not marketing brochures.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam and as low as 1:12 with specific underlayment and sealant requirements. Steep pitches look incredible in metal. We help you choose the right panel profile, material, and color for your Elwood home.

Shingle Roofing
GAF Timberline HDZ. The best-selling shingle in North America. With StrikeZone nailing area for consistent fastener placement. Class A fire rating per UL 790, Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218 (when installed in the GAF Roof System), and Class H wind rating per ASTM D7158 (130 mph). We install Timberline in the full GAF system to qualify for Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year non-prorated workmanship plus 50-year materials with WindProven limited wind warranty (no max speed). That warranty is why we recommend GAF for most Elwood homes.

Commercial Roofing
Your commercial roof has HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and satellite dishes punching through it. Every penetration is a potential leak point. We install prefabricated curbs, custom-welded flashings, and pitch pans that handle foot traffic and thermal cycling without failing.

Gutter Installation
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Elwood. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Illinois's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

Roof Inspection
After a storm, our inspection documents hail hits, wind damage, lifted shingles, and cracked components for your insurance claim. We take measurements, count damage per test square, and prepare a report your adjuster can use. Free for Elwood homeowners. We only charge if you hire us for the repair.

Skylight Installation
Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
