Roofing for Wood River's Neighborhoods

Wood River is a Madison County city in the Riverbend area between Alton and Roxana. Much of its housing is in established neighborhoods of older homes, many on their second or third roof.

MPR Roofing serves Wood River from Greenville, a little under an hour away. We do residential asphalt shingle replacements and repairs, with special attention to old layers, decking, and flashing on older houses.

Many Wood River homes are compact, with simple gable roofs. That makes a clean replacement fairly quick, but older layers and worn decking are common. We plan for both and keep the job within the City's rules, including the two-layer limit.

Every job ends with cleanup and a magnetic nail sweep.

Wood River's 30-Square-Foot Rule

Wood River's city code treats replacing or repairing more than 30 square feet of roof or siding on a home as a "substantial improvement" that requires a permit. Starting permitted work without a permit adds a fee, and the Planning and Zoning Administrator makes the final call on whether a permit is needed.

The City's residential construction requirements also list a maximum of 2 layers of roof covering. For Wood River jobs, we file the City permit application (marked "Roof") before we start.

Roof repairs or replacement over 30 sq ft (residential) need a City permit.

Maximum of 2 roof-covering layers per City requirements.

Storm & Hail Damage Help in Wood River

Storms crossing the Riverbend can bring wind and hail to Wood River. Even a modest storm repair can go over 30 square feet, which triggers a City permit.

We measure the repair area, photograph the damage, and handle the permit when needed.

Gutters on older Wood River homes are often clogged or pulling away after a storm. We check them along with the roof and let you know if they're making a leak worse.
