Roof Repair • Alton, IL
Leak tracing • Flashing & pipe boots • Shingle replacement • Honest repair-or-replace advice
Leaks on Alton's older homes usually start at chimneys, dormers, and flashing joints. We find the real entry point and fix it properly.
Many homes in Christian Hill, Middletown, and Upper Alton have steep roofs that meet chimneys, dormers, and porch roofs at awkward angles. Those intersections are where most of the repair calls we get from Alton begin. Old step flashing rusts out, counter-flashing gets caulked over, and water runs behind it.
A good repair on a house like this means pulling back shingles, replacing the flashing, and tying it back into the brick or siding correctly. If a section has been patched three times already, we'll tell you, and help you decide whether repairing it a fourth time makes sense.
Alton's city code has specific roofing rules, including minimum slopes for asphalt shingles and coordinated color, texture, and pattern on re-roofed sections. That matters for repairs on low-slope porch roofs and additions, where shingles may not have been the right material in the first place. When a repair grows into re-roofing a section, we check it against those rules and handle any permit through the City's online building permit application.
Rules can change; we confirm current requirements for your address before work starts.

Straight answers from a local, licensed roofing contractor.
Yes. It's one of the most common repairs on Alton's older homes. We replace the step and counter-flashing and seal it to the masonry correctly, instead of just adding caulk.
Maybe not. Shingles need enough slope to shed water, and Alton's city code sets minimum slopes for asphalt shingles. We'll check the pitch and explain your options.
We match as closely as current products allow. On visible slopes we'll show you samples first, since Alton's code calls for coordinated color, texture, and pattern on re-roofs.
