Roof and gutter damage repaired or replaced. Some carpentry repairs also completed. The water is going where it is supposed to go. The work was done by skilled trades people: looks great and no mess left behind. They understood what was needed and did all the work in a timely manner.

How can a homeowner recognize when a roof system has problems?
Many kinds of damage can compromise a roof system. It can be hard to know where to begin to look and, often, homeowners aren’t really sure what they are looking for. That’s why it is a smart investment to hire a roofing professional to perform a roof inspection periodically (at least once a year). He will know what kinds of damage to look for and where to look for them.
How do I know for sure I need a new roof?
Older roofing shingles and wood shakes typically have a 15- to 30-year lifespan depending on the shingles’ quality, the location and tree cover of your home, and how well the roof was installed originally.
Though the GAF shingles we use today have lifetime warranties, they didn’t a decade ago. 12 years is a good rule of thumb to go by. At that point, check for these warning signs:
-Curling shingles
-Loss of the asphalt granulation (looks like bald spots)
-Evidence of leaking on your ceilings
-Cracked or discolored interior drywall (painted or wallpapered)
-Decaying shingles
-Missing shingles
-Visible cracks
-Wind damage
-Broken or damaged shingles
-Rusted or missing flashing
If a residential roof is over 15 years old, we recommend you call us out for a look. Sometimes damage isn’t visible to the untrained eye on the ground, and catching it early can avoid expensive interior repairs in the future.
My Roof Leaks. Do I Need To Have It Replaced Completely?
A leaking roof is a bad thing. However, it doesn’t necessarily warrant a complete roof replacement. How much repair and work needs to be done on your roof depends on the level of damage caused by leaking. Talking to a professional is the best way to know whether only minor repair OR a full roof replacement is necessary.
How Long Can I Expect My Roof System To Last?
20 Years. That is the life expectancy of the average roof system.
The life span of a roof system is determine by a number of factors, like: roof system design, building structure, material quality, material suitability, proper installation, periodic maintenance, local climate, and much more. Material quality is especially important because some roof system types such as clay tile, slate and (certain) metal can last longer.
When choosing the materials for a new roof (or when hiring a professional, make sure to check the warranties on the materials. Most roofing manufacturers offer warranties on their products and you should be wary of any manufacturer that doesn’t.
What will a new roof system cost?
The cost of a new roof system depends upon the size of the project, the materials involved, the architectural style of your house, market costs, and the roofing contractor you hire. Additionally, if your roof has been damaged in a storm or due to other factors outside your control - your insurance may cover the cost. This is why it's best to have a professional roofing company provide you with a review and quote. Contact us today for yours! 217.418.3665
Will I have to replace gutters and downspouts at the same time?
If your gutters and downspouts are in good shape, our roofing contractors will work around them. To avoid damaging them, we don’t remove and reinstall them once your roof is complete. We also use ladder gutter guards to avoid damaging your gutters. If your gutters are in relatively good shape, but need minor repair, we can provide this service too.
How long will it take a roofing company to install my new roof?
Of course there are variables that affect all roofing projects, like the weather + if there is a second layer to remove, and more. But typically, DECA contractors are completely finished with your new roof—from removing the old roof to clean up—in just a few days.
