What We Do | Alvin Roofing & Maintenance Roofing Services
We've been providing roofing services to Alvin homeowners and businesses for 19 years. From repairs to full replacements. It's all we do, and we do it right.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Alvin, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Most roof leaks in Alvin come from one of five places: pipe boots, step flashing at walls, valley flashing, damaged shingles, or failed seals around skylights. We find the actual source. Not just the drip point in your ceiling. And fix it right. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips, so the leak location and the damage location are often 10 feet apart.

HAAG Certified Inspectors on staff for every storm damage assessment. We document per HAAG residential guidelines: hail hit density per test square, severity classification, functional vs. cosmetic damage distinction. Insurance adjusters trust HAAG methodology because it's the industry standard. Our supplementation process references FM 4473 hail ratings and manufacturer impact resistance specs when fighting for full replacement approval.

We handle new construction from permits through final inspection. Our Alvin office coordinates with your builder on scheduling, material delivery, and inspection timing. Typical install time is 1-3 days depending on size and complexity.

Standing seam metal with Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer finish. The gold standard for color retention and chalk resistance. We install Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal panels in 24-gauge Galvalume steel. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance (qualifies for insurance discounts in most Illinois markets). UL 790 Class A fire rating. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592 testing. Concealed Z-clips allow thermal expansion without stress on fasteners. That's what makes standing seam leak-proof.

Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Illinois winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Alvin home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial roof maintenance programs keep small problems from becoming big ones. We offer annual and semi-annual inspection contracts for Alvin building owners. We find and fix issues before they cause interior damage to your inventory, equipment, or tenant spaces.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Alvin. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Illinois's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

We don't inspect roofs from the ground with binoculars. We get on the roof. Every inspection includes a full walkthrough: shingle condition, flashing integrity, pipe boots, ridge vent, soffit ventilation, gutter function, and visible attic moisture signs. You get photos and a written report.

Storm, wind, hail, or fallen tree. We've handled every kind of roofing emergency in Alvin. First priority is always preventing further water damage to your interior. Second priority is documentation for insurance. Third is the permanent fix.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
