What we see on Normal homes
Normal's median house dates from 1989, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 21,879 housing units, 55.2% of the occupied ones owner-occupied, which is a lower share than most of the towns we cover. A good deal of what we look at here is a rental or a recent purchase, and in both cases the useful question is what has to be done now against what can wait. Only 4.4% predates 1940, so most roofs here are on their second covering rather than their first or their fourth.
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.

Where we work from, and what is nearby
Normal, IL sits in McLean County, and we serve it from our Central Illinois office at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610.
In Normal that means 61761. Not on the list? Call. We would rather tell you no than have you not ask.
What we can put on a Normal 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.
