What we see on Pontiac homes
The median house in Pontiac was built in 1965, and 57.6% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 5,106 housing units, 65% 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. 26.2% 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.

Permits and paperwork in Pontiac
Permits for work like this in Pontiac come from City of Pontiac Building and Zoning. Whether one is needed at all depends on the scope, and we will tell you which it is at the consultation rather than after the work has started. We pull it, and we are there when the inspector is.
We are licensed and insured. Our Illinois Roofing Contractor License is #104016978, and it goes on the paperwork before you ask for it.
Where we work from, and what is nearby
Pontiac, IL sits in Livingston County, and we serve it from our Central Illinois office at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610.
In Pontiac that means 61764. Not on the list? Call. We would rather tell you no than have you not ask.
What we can put on a Pontiac 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.
