What we see on Pekin homes

The median house in Pekin was built in 1962, and 61.3% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 14,733 housing units, 66.8% 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. 20.7% of it predates 1940, and on a roof that usually means a steeper pitch, board decking rather than plywood, and at least one layer somebody added instead of tore off.

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 7 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 a Pekin 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.

Two things people in Pekin ask

Do I need a permit for this in Pekin?

It depends on the scope, and City of Pekin Inspections Department is the office that decides. We check before the crew is booked and we pull the permit when one is needed, so it is never something you find out about halfway through.

Alan Hall was my sales rep. He is very down to earth & personable. Explained everything in terms that I could understand. No pressure to sell. He worked hard to get me what I could afford. I look forward to working with him again on another project. Thanks, Alan! November 7, 2024: Adding to my review as project is now completed. The roof, fascia, gutters, and final replacement window all make my 100+ year old bungalow look amazing. It totally transformed the look of my home. I had 4 different crews (one crew for each job) & they were all professional, polite, & cleaned up after themselves. I did have one issue, but it was quickly corrected & I'm very satisfied with the work. I would recommend Perfect Choice and will contact Alan when I'm ready to do my next project. June 11, 2026: Because I had such great work done in 2024, I contacted Alan again as it was time for a new garage roof (my garage is not attached but separate from my home). Alan came the next day and in less than a month my home and garage have matching shingles (which I didn't even have when I bought it 23 years ago). Again, Alan was super and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Erin was a fantastic coordinator and even called me on a Sunday to confirm everything. I did have some issues come up on my end which caused me to ask for a delay, but Erin was very easy to work with and was able to change the crew to work around my schedule. Today the roofing crew came, tore off my old roof, and installed the new roof. I even had some of the same people that had installed the roof on my house in 2024 work on the garage roof today. The crew was polite, courteous, and wasted no time in getting it completed. They also cleaned up and that is very much appreciated. I've had other companies leave trash, wood, nails, etc and Perfect Choice has never left a mess. I would recommend them and when it's time for my next work, I will be calling them again. Thanks to all of the employees associated with Perfect Choice. Job well done again.

Great sales experience with Brett Hatfield from Perfect Choice for our roofing job in Springfield, Illinois. He explained every thing about the roofing products and installation and gave us a GREAT PRICE!

Bought a roof from Brett at Perfect Choice. Brett was nice to come to McLean, Illinois to talk to us person . Brett explained to us each step of the process in detail. I would highly recommend Brett .

Brett Hatfield with Perfect Choice exterior and bathrooms was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided us with a comprehensive & reasonable quote for replacing our roof, some windows and doors. Would definitely recommend him.

Brandon came by for a consult and was not only super friendly but incredibly informative. He took the time to answer all of our questions (including our 4 year olds) and walked us through the entire process of getting a new roof. We’re super excited to be working with Perfect Choice.

I'm on my 4th project over the last 6 years with Perfect Choice. Windows and sliding door, roof, siding and gutters, and now bathroom. I appreciate customer service, value, and quality workmanship. Tyler C and the team get it so they get my business.

Perfect Choice Home Solutions roofed my home. The roof was over 30 years old and it was obvious areas of the roof had started to decay and cave in. When they came out, they checked the roof and gave us an estimate. They found us some financing and then scheduled the roof repair. Their roofing system was incredible. When the crew came out to do the work they were amazing. In one day they stripped away the old roof, replaced the wood sheeting that had decayed, put down the underlayment and reshingled. After they were finished, other than having a beautiful roof, you never knew they were there. They left absolutely no mess behind. No payment was required up front and no payment had to be made until 30 days after I was satisfied with the work. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing a new roof.

Dallas came out. He was very professional, friendly and courteous. He seems to be a very honest person. I would recommend you request Dallas to come out and talk to you. If you decide, you need roofing, or any kind of jobs that their company performs.

When we started research about options regarding replacing our 23 years old asphalt shingles, Roger showed up in person promptly and provided samples of shingles and pictures of our roof taken by a drone. We then made a decision on which shingles to purchase and we accepted his reasonable offer. We were surprised that after only three weeks the job was totally finished and we are so delighted and thankful!

Would definitely give this company an 11 out of 10. Brad Jackson was up front with us and contacted us with any changes. The crew was outstanding, working to replace our roof with 12 hour days. When they left, the yard and driveway were spotless. Denny Littlefield was great to work with too! Their receptionist was great about keeping us up to date on what was happening – I am so sorry, I forgot her name. Definitely keep that hard working crew!

We had a new roof installed and some siding and gutter work. Everyone from the first salesperson we spoke with to the teams that did the work were friendly and professional. The completed work was of high quality, with excellent craftsmanship and materials. I'd recommend Perfect Choice to neighbors, friends, and family.

Alan came out in mid April, and gave us a deal we thought was very fair. Come mid may they come to do our roof and we realize we need all new decking, luckily Alan came right over and continue to impress and help us get to the state of getting our roof completed. Thanks for being so transparent about everything.
