What we see on Metamora homes
Metamora's median house dates from 1989, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 1,604 housing units, 90.7% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That is a high share, and it means most of these conversations are with the person who will live with the result rather than with somebody signing off on a property they never see. 10.7% has been built since 2010, so a good share of these roofs are still on their first shingle, where how well the flashing and venting were done matters more than wear.
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 the winters do here
The 1991-2020 snowfall normal at Peoria Greater Peoria Airport, about 19 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.

Where we work from, and what is nearby
Metamora, IL sits in Woodford County, and we serve it from our Central Illinois office at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610.
In Metamora that covers 61548. A ZIP missing from that list is worth a phone call rather than an assumption, and you will get a yes or a no on the spot.
What we can put on a Metamora 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, with full-size units rather than swatches. Daylight changes a color more than most people expect it to.
