The short answer

We roof De Soto, Illinois about eight miles north of Carbondale on US-51. Free inspections, free written estimates, and a phone answered 24 hours a day at (618) 549-0800, with crews who are our own employees, not storm-season subcontractors.

De Soto is a small town with a long memory - it was in the path of the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, and Southern Illinois has never really stopped taking severe weather since. Today it is mostly older single-family homes and outbuildings, with plenty of metal on the sheds and barns and asphalt on the houses.

What we see on De Soto roofs

  • Older single-family homes with aging asphalt and original decking
  • Barns, sheds and outbuildings where metal panel is the right answer
  • Storm exposure along the US-51 corridor
  • Long distances from a lot of contractors - but not from us, we are eight miles away

Every inspection here is written for the house in front of us. Everything we find is photographed and written up, and if the roof has years left, we say so plainly.

De Soto roofing questions

Do you work on barns and outbuildings?
Yes. Metal panel and shingle both, residential and light agricultural.
Is De Soto too small for you to bother with?
No. It is a short drive from Carbondale and we treat it like any other call.
Are you local to De Soto or a storm-chasing crew?
Local. Family owned and operated since 1947, with our own crews working this region year round — not a door-knocking outfit that follows the hail maps.
What does an inspection cost in De Soto?
No charge for either the inspection or the written estimate. You keep the photos, and nobody follows up with pressure if you decide to wait.
