The short answer

We roof Metropolis, Illinois about sixty miles southeast of Carbondale on the Ohio River. Inspections and written estimates cost nothing, and someone picks up around the clock at (618) 549-0800; the crews on your roof are our employees, not seasonal subs.

Metropolis sits on the Ohio River at the southern tip of Illinois, which makes it the most humid corner of our service area. Humidity and long warm seasons are hard on roofs: algae growth, slower drying, and attics that need genuine airflow rather than a token vent.

What we see on Metropolis roofs

  • River-valley humidity driving algae growth and moisture problems
  • Attic ventilation that has to work harder than it does further north
  • Storms tracking up the Ohio valley with wind and hail
  • Older river-town housing with layered roofs and dated flashing

Every inspection here is written for the house in front of us. Expect photos, a written estimate, and a plain answer, even when that answer is that your roof has years to go.

Metropolis roofing questions

Are algae-resistant shingles worth it down here?
In Massac County, generally yes. The humidity makes staining a matter of when rather than if.
Do you really service this far south?
Yes. Massac County is part of the Southern Illinois market we cover from Carbondale.
Are you local to Metropolis or a storm-chasing crew?
Local. Family owned since 1947, with our own crews. Being this far south does not make you a drive-by market — we service what we install down here.
What does an inspection cost in Metropolis?
No charge. River-valley humidity drives a lot of what we find down here, and the inspection, estimate and photographs are all free.
