What we see on Bloomington homes
Bloomington's median house dates from 1982, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 37,013 housing units, 61.6% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 15% predates 1940, a smaller share than the old river towns, but enough that board decking and doubled-up layers still turn up on the same street.
Houses from the seventies and eighties mean trussed roofs, plywood or OSB decking, and a first or second replacement already behind them. Those are straightforward tear-offs. What we look hardest at is the ventilation, because attics from that era went up before anyone was fussy about intake, and a roof with no soffit intake cooks its own shingles from underneath whatever you put on top.

What we can put on a Bloomington house
IKO Dynasty for the wind rating and the color blends, IKO Nordic when Class 4 impact is worth having. The shingles are mold, mildew and algae resistant. We carry CertainTeed and GAF as well, so if a subdivision covenant names a product we are not locked out of it. Most roofs get a full tear-off, with ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and new drip edge. We never reuse drip edge. Where the deck and the existing layer allow it, an overlay is an option, and we will tell you honestly which one your roof is a candidate for.
There is a showroom at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610. Color on a screen is not color in daylight, and a sample chip is not a panel, so it is worth the drive before you commit to either.
