The short answer

We roof Herrin, Illinois about thirteen miles northeast of Carbondale. We never charge for an inspection or a written estimate, and the line is answered live at all hours at (618) 549-0800. Our crews are our own people rather than subcontractors hired for storm season.

Herrin has a deep bench of mid-century housing - ranches and story-and-a-halfs built for coal-era families - and those roofs share a set of predictable problems. Small attics with almost no intake ventilation, original bathroom vents terminating where they should not, and shallow porch roofs that were shingled when they should have been membraned.

What we see on Herrin roofs

  • Mid-century ranches with under-ventilated attics that cook shingles early
  • Low-slope porch and carport roofs shingled below the minimum pitch
  • Older galvanized flashing at chimneys that has rusted through
  • Spring hail and wind coming across open ground from the west and southwest

Every inspection here is written for the house in front of us. You get photos of what we find, a written estimate, and a straight answer if the roof still has years in it.

Herrin roofing questions

Why do my shingles look old for their age?
Usually ventilation. An attic with exhaust and no intake bakes the underside of the shingle all summer and takes years off the roof.
Can you fix a leaking porch roof without redoing the whole roof?
Often yes. A low-slope porch is its own system and can be corrected on its own.
Are you local to Herrin or a storm-chasing crew?
Local. John Beal Roofing has been family owned since 1947 and employs its own crews. We are here through the quiet months, not just the six weeks after a storm.
What does an inspection cost in Herrin?
Nothing. Free inspection and free written estimate, with photos of every slope. Take them to another contractor for a second opinion if you want one.
