What We Do | Cornell Roofing & Maintenance Roofing Services
We've been providing roofing services to Cornell homeowners and businesses for 18 years. From repairs to full replacements. It's all we do, and we do it right.
Roof Replacement
Owens Corning Duration with SureNail technology or CertainTeed Landmark with NailTrak for reliable fastening in high-wind zones. Both meet ASTM D3462 and carry Class A fire ratings per UL 790. In Illinois, we recommend the high-wind versions rated to ASTM D7158 Class H, which is 130 mph wind warranty. Full system install qualifies for Owens Corning Preferred Protection or CertainTeed SureStart Plus warranty.

Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

After a major storm in Cornell, we mobilize quickly. Emergency tarping within 24 hours to prevent secondary water damage. Then a full damage inspection once conditions allow. We use drone photography on larger commercial roofs to document everything the adjuster needs.

New construction means we get to do everything right from scratch. No compromises, no working around someone else's mistakes. Ice and water shield where it belongs, properly lapped underlayment, correct nailing patterns, and ventilation sized to the space. That's a roof that lasts.

Corrugated metal and R-panel (exposed fastener) at $5-$8/sq ft installed for agricultural buildings, shops, carports, and covered patios in Cornell. 29-gauge is budget, 26-gauge is standard. For residential, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam at $12-$22/sq ft. The aesthetics and longevity justify the premium. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles offer the look of natural materials with metal's performance. Perfect for Cornell HOA neighborhoods that restrict metal roofing appearance.

Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our Cornell crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Flat roofs don't actually drain themselves. That's the challenge. Water ponds, UV breaks down the membrane, and eventually it leaks. We install and repair TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems designed for zero-slope conditions in Cornell.

Commercial roofing in Cornell means flat and low-slope systems: TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. We install and repair all of them. Retail, warehouse, office, restaurant, multi-family. Our commercial crew handles buildings from 2,000 to 100,000 square feet.

Gutter sizing matters more than most homeowners realize. We calculate the effective roof area, local rainfall intensity, and the number of downspout outlets needed to handle peak flow. Undersized gutters overflow. Undersized downspouts back up. We size everything to handle Cornell's worst rain.
Get a Free Quote →Roof Inspection
After a storm, our inspection documents hail hits, wind damage, lifted shingles, and cracked components for your insurance claim. We take measurements, count damage per test square, and prepare a report your adjuster can use. Free for Cornell homeowners. We only charge if you hire us for the repair.

Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.

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.
