Roofing Services in Palmer, IL
From quick fixes to major projects, Palmer Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Palmer homeowners call for 21 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
The average roof replacement in Palmer takes one day for a standard residential home. Larger or steeper roofs might take two. Either way, we don't leave a house uncovered overnight. If we tear it off, we cover it before we leave. No exceptions.

Most roof leaks in Palmer come from one of five places: pipe boots, step flashing at walls, valley flashing, damaged shingles, or failed seals around skylights. We find the actual source. Not just the drip point in your ceiling. And fix it right. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips, so the leak location and the damage location are often 10 feet apart.

After every major storm in Palmer, out-of-town companies flood the area offering free inspections. They're not all bad, but many are. We're local, we're licensed, and we'll be here to honor the warranty. Storm chasers won't be.

Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Illinois, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

NRCA member, trained per manufacturer specifications.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Palmer. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Palmer: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

Buying or selling a home in Palmer? A roof inspection from a licensed contractor beats whatever the home inspector saw from the driveway. We check every component, give you a remaining-life estimate, and flag anything the buyer or seller should know about.

Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
