Roof Replacement in Edwardsville, IL

What a full roof replacement in Edwardsville includes

Every Trill Roofing replacement is a complete tear-off, not an overlay. We strip the old shingles to the decking so we can actually see what’s underneath. Standard scope:

• Full tear-off and debris haul-off
• Decking inspection with selective replacement (rotted sheathing at our cost – no markup)
• Ice and water shield in valleys, at eaves, and around penetrations
• Synthetic underlayment across the full deck
• New drip edge and starter strip
• Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph wind (Class H) – GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning
• Step flashing replaced at all sidewalls and chimneys
• New pipe boots and ridge cap
• Properly balanced attic ventilation (intake + exhaust)
• Magnetic sweep cleanup

You get a written manufacturer warranty registration plus our workmanship warranty.

Edwardsville, IL housing stock and what it means for your replacement

Edwardsville’s housing mix is the widest in our service area – historic homes near downtown (some Victorian, some Italianate), mid-century neighborhoods around the SIUE campus, and large new subdivisions to the south and east. Roof complexity scales with neighborhood – older homes have steeper pitches and more dormers; new construction is generally simpler geometry.

The City of Edwardsville has its own building department and inspector – we coordinate permits and inspections directly with them. Edwardsville has the highest property values in our service area, which often means homeowners go for impact-resistant or designer shingle lines (Class 4 hail-rated, or premium architectural like GAF Camelot).

What we see most often in Edwardsville: Edwardsville’s newer subdivisions (built 2000-2015) are coming up on their first major roof replacement now – many original 25-year shingles are at end of life. We do several Edwardsville replacements per month.

Permits and inspections in Edwardsville

Roof replacements in Edwardsville require a building permit pulled through the City of Edwardsville building department. We handle the permit application, post it visibly on the jobsite, and coordinate the final inspection. You don’t chase paperwork – we do. Madison County inspectors look for properly nailed shingles (6-nail in our wind zone), correct underlayment, ice barrier per IL code, and code-compliant ridge ventilation.

What it costs in Edwardsville

Roof replacement pricing in the Riverbend typically runs $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed for architectural shingles. The number depends on roof pitch, complexity, decking condition, and shingle line. What changes it:

• Pitch: Anything over 8/12 needs roof jacks and slower work – adds labor
• Tear-off layers: Double tear-off doubles disposal weight
• Decking replacement: ~$60-$90 per sheet installed at our cost
• Class 4 impact-resistant upgrade: ~$0.75/sq ft – typically pays back via the IL homeowner-insurance hail discount
• Ventilation work: Adding intake or exhaust adds half a day

Our estimate breaks every line out so you see exactly where the money goes.

Verifying any Illinois roofing contractor (including us)

Illinois licenses roofing contractors through IDFPR under the Roofing Industry Licensing Act. Before signing anything with anyone (including Trill Roofing), verify their IL license at the IDFPR public lookup and check it shows as active, not expired. Trill Roofing carries IL roofing license #19HC00108700, full general liability, and workers comp.

Storm-chaser red flags to watch for:

• Out-of-state plates and no permanent local address
• Asking for full payment up front, or insisting you sign before the adjuster meets
• Claiming to “waive your deductible” – that’s insurance fraud under IL law (215 ILCS 5/155.36)
• No physical office or vehicle wraps

Storm-funded replacements in Edwardsville

About a third of our replacement work is insurance-funded after a wind or hail event. Illinois gives you 2 years from the date of loss to file a property damage claim (215 ILCS 5/143.1). For storm-related replacements we provide a free post-storm inspection, written damage report with photos, adjuster-meet coordination, and supplemental documentation if the initial scope misses code-required items. We work with State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, American Family, and the rest of the IL carriers.
