What we see on East Peoria homes
The median house in East Peoria was built in 1968, and 53% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 10,912 housing units, 75.5% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. Mostly owners, then, which usually means the decision turns on how long you plan to stay rather than on what it does to a rent roll. 12.2% 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.
On a roof from that stretch the first question is how many layers are already up there. Two is common and three happens. Add decking that is still the original, and a ridge vent somebody retrofitted twenty years later and sized by eye, and there are three separate things to price rather than one. The consultation settles which of them actually apply before anyone puts a number on the job.

What the winters do here
The 1991-2020 snowfall normal at Peoria Greater Peoria Airport, about 8 miles away, is 26.2 inches a year. That is why the ice-and-water shield at the eaves goes on every roof we do rather than only the ones that ask for it.

What we can put on an East Peoria 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.
You can see all of it at our showroom, 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610.
