• Residential Roofing: Our core service, focusing on providing durable, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting roofing systems for homes of all styles.
• Full Roof Replacement: When a roof has reached the end of its lifespan or sustained extensive damage, we perform a complete tear-off of old materials, inspect and repair the underlying roof deck, and install a brand-new, high-performance roofing system.
• Storm Damage Restoration: We are specialists in assessing and repairing damage from hail and wind. Our services include emergency tarping to prevent further water intrusion and comprehensive restoration to return your roof to its pre-storm condition.
• New Construction Roofing: We work seamlessly with builders and homeowners on new construction projects, ensuring the roof is installed to precise manufacturer specifications with proper ventilation and documentation for warranty purposes.
• Commercial Roofing: We also provide roofing solutions for commercial buildings, addressing the unique needs and materials required for these properties.

We specialize in the two most popular and effective roofing materials for homes in Central Illinois: high-quality asphalt shingles and durable metal roofing. We understand that choosing the right material is a critical decision that balances aesthetics, budget, and long-term performance. To help you make an informed choice, we provide a clear comparison of these two excellent options.

• Superior Wind Resistance: Many Owens Corning shingles, such as those in the Duration® Series, feature patented SureNail® Technology. This innovative fabric strip in the nailing area provides outstanding grip and resistance to wind uplift—a crucial feature during Central Illinois storms.
• Algae Resistance: We offer shingles with StreakGuard® Algae Protection, which uses copper-lined granules to help inhibit the growth of the blue-green algae that causes unsightly black streaks on roofs. This keeps your roof looking beautiful for years and protects your home's curb appeal.
• Exceptional Aesthetics: Owens Corning is a leader in color and design, offering a vast palette of shingle colors and dimensional styles that can dramatically enhance your home's appearance.
• Manufacturer Trust: Partnering with a Fortune 500® company like Owens Corning means your roofing materials are backed by a global leader in the industry, providing an extra layer of confidence and access to robust material warranties.

1. Initial Consultation & Free Estimate: It all begins when you contact us. We will schedule a convenient time to visit your home, perform a thorough inspection of your current roof, discuss your needs and material options, and provide a detailed, no-obligation written estimate.
2. Material Selection & Scheduling: Once you approve the estimate, we will help you finalize your shingle or metal roofing selection. We then schedule your project at a time that works for you, keeping you informed every step of the way.
3. Pre-Installation Property Prep: Before our crew arrives, we take meticulous care to prepare your property. This includes protecting landscaping, siding, and A/C units with tarps and moving any vulnerable items away from the work zone.
4. Tear-Off & Deck Inspection: We begin by carefully removing all old roofing materials down to the structural deck. This allows us to perform a critical inspection of the wood decking, making any necessary repairs to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.
5. Installation of the Roofing System: Our expert, insured employees then install your complete roofing system. This includes premium underlayment for water resistance, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and the precise installation of your new shingles or metal panels according to manufacturer specifications.
6. Meticulous Site Cleanup: Throughout the project and upon completion, we maintain a clean and safe work site. Our cleanup process is famously thorough; we haul away all debris and perform a magnetic sweep of your lawn, driveway, and garden beds to find and remove stray nails.
7. Final Inspection & Walkthrough: After the installation is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure every detail meets our high standards of quality. We will then walk you through the finished project, answer any questions you have, and ensure your complete satisfaction.
8. Warranty & Final Paperwork: We provide you with all the necessary documentation for your workmanship and manufacturer warranties, giving you lasting peace of mind in your investment.

We treat your home as if it were our own. Protecting your property is a top priority for our team. Before any work begins, we implement a comprehensive protection plan that includes laying heavy-duty tarps over landscaping, flower beds, and along the sides of your house to shield siding and windows from falling debris. We also cover or move patio furniture, grills, and air conditioning units. Our dumpster placement is strategic to minimize impact on your driveway and lawn. This careful preparation ensures that the only thing we leave behind is a beautiful new roof.

The duration of a roof replacement can vary based on the size and complexity of the roof, the type of materials being installed, and weather conditions. However, for most average-sized single-family homes in the Champaign area, our efficient crew can complete the entire physical roof replacement, from tear-off to final cleanup, in just 1 to 3 days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but we will always provide you with a clear and realistic timeline before we begin.

• Emergency Tarping: We provide a rapid response to secure your roof with tarps, preventing further water damage to your home's interior after a storm.
• Professional Damage Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify and document all evidence of hail and wind damage, which may not be obvious to an untrained eye.
• Working with Your Adjuster: We provide all necessary documentation for your claim and can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to walk them through our findings, ensuring all damages are properly assessed and accounted for.

1. Manufacturer's Material Warranty: As an installer of premium Owens Corning products, your new shingles are covered by an excellent manufacturer's warranty. These warranties protect against defects in the materials themselves and can last for decades, depending on the product you choose.
2. Workmanship Warranty: Roof Panther provides our own workmanship warranty on every roof we install. This warranty covers the quality of our installation and protects you against issues arising from improper installation techniques.
