Roofing in Moline, IL

Moline has some of the oldest housing in the metro. The median home here was built in the 1950s and more than eight in ten predate 1980. That makes it a city of second and third roofs, with everything that implies underneath them.

A City of Third Roofs

When a house has been roofed three times, the interesting questions are all under the shingles. How many layers are up there. What state the decking is in. Whether the flashing has ever actually been replaced or has simply been sealed over three times.

This is why we price deck repair per sheet up front on every Moline estimate. On stock this old, finding something is normal, and it should be arithmetic rather than an argument in the driveway.

The Hill Neighborhoods

Moline climbs away from the river fast, and the older neighborhoods up the hill have steep lots, tight access and houses close together. Staging a roof there takes longer and protecting the neighbor's property matters more.

It is worth asking any bidder how they plan to get a dumpster in and where the material will be stacked, because on some of these streets that is the hard part of the job.
