What Makes a Roofing Company Trustworthy in Southern Illinois?

A trustworthy roofing company holds a valid Illinois state license, carries liability and workers' compensation insurance, and puts its warranty in writing. Local ownership matters too, since a company with an office near your home is easier to reach years after installation. JS & Sons Construction checks each of those boxes.

JS & Sons Construction, at a Glance

We're a local, family owned and operated company, and that's not just a line on the website. It's why we run two offices instead of one call center covering the whole state. Homeowners who've worked with us before have left their own accounts on our testimonials page.

Where Does JS & Sons Construction Work in Southern Illinois?

JS & Sons Construction serves Southern Illinois, with particular focus on Randolph County, St. Clair County, Sparta, East St. Louis, and Herrin. We run two offices, one in Sparta and one in Belleville, so homeowners in either county have a nearby team to call for roofing, storm repair, or exterior construction work.

Our work is always in compliance with manufacturer standards, which means the manufacturer stands behind the materials we install and compensates you if something goes wrong with the product itself. A full breakdown of the counties and towns we cover, plus which office handles which area, is on our Service Areas page.

Roofing Services We Provide

Our roofing work covers the full lifecycle of a roof, from a brand-new build to emergency repair after a storm. Here's what falls under our roofing services:

• Roof Installation: Residential and commercial installation using manufacturer-approved materials, built to manufacturer standards and regional code requirements.
• Roof Repair: Repair for storm damage, leaks, wind damage, and damaged shingles, with insurance coordination when needed.
• Roof Replacement: Full replacement for homes and commercial properties, backed by our 5-year craftsmanship warranty.
• Re-roofs: A cost-effective option that installs a second shingle layer over eligible existing roofing, after a full surface inspection confirms eligibility, with fast installation and minimal disruption to occupants.
• New Construction Roofing: Roofing built into new residential and commercial construction projects from the start.
• Flat Roofs: Installation, repair, and replacement for flat roofing on residential and commercial properties.
• Emergency Storm Repair: Fast response to hail, wind, tornado, and fire damage, working directly with insurance when needed.
• Gutters: Seamless aluminum gutters custom fit on-site, with downspout placement built around your roof drainage and site grading, plus gutter guard options to cut down on clogging.

Beyond the Roof: Exterior and Interior Construction

Roofing is where JS & Sons Construction started, but it's not the only work we do. Our construction services cover siding, windows, doors, decks, fencing, concrete pads, interior renovation, exterior home renovation, and full remodeling and transformations. A homeowner dealing with hail damage to a roof often finds the same storm cracked a gutter run or dented siding, so we handle that scope of work under one crew and one contract instead of sending you to a second contractor for the rest.

Materials and Manufacturer Training

We install manufacturer-approved materials and carry manufacturer-specific training so the work qualifies for the warranties those manufacturers offer. Our team holds TAMKO Pro training and certification for TAMKO products, installation techniques, and instructions.

Two shingle products anchor what we recommend most for Southern Illinois roofs: Titan XT Premium Architectural Shingles, voted 2024 Product of the Year, and StormFighter Flex Polymer Modified Shingles, a polymer modified shingle voted 2025 Product of the Year. Both are detailed, along with the rest of our product lineup, on our Products page.

What Happens During a Free Estimate?

A free estimate with JS & Sons Construction starts with an on-site inspection of your roof or exterior, a conversation about what's damaged or aging, and a written quote based on what we find. Pricing for roof installation, repair, replacement, re-roofing, and new construction roofing all comes from that same free consultation.

You can reach us at 888-IL-ROOF2, or call the Sparta office directly at 618-443-1010 or the Belleville office at 618-744-7024 to get one scheduled. Details for both offices and their hours are on our Contact Us page.

Financing and Insurance Claims Support

Storm Damage? We've Got You Covered. Literally.

When storms hit, we move fast, and we work directly with insurance when needed so getting your home back on track doesn't fall entirely on you. For homeowners paying out of pocket or covering a deductible, we offer 18 months interest-free financing, a 12-month same-as-cash option, and 10-year low-interest loans for new roofs and home repairs.

What Illinois Law Requires Before You Sign a Roofing Contract

Illinois has specific rules for home repair paperwork once a job crosses a certain price. Knowing them helps you evaluate any contractor's quote, ours included.

For home repair or remodeling work costing more than $1,000, the Illinois Attorney General's Office requires contractors to provide a written contract signed by both parties. Contractors must also supply the "Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights" pamphlet at that stage. Get any roof or exterior job in writing before work starts, and ask for that pamphlet if the job is over that threshold.

Fall Protection Matters When Choosing a Roofing Crew

Roof work happens at height, and federal rules govern how crews are supposed to protect themselves up there. It's a fair question to ask any contractor before they get on your roof.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires residential construction workers six feet or more above lower levels to be protected by conventional fall protection, such as guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall-arrest systems, except where another permitted measure applies. Asking a contractor how their crew handles fall protection tells you a lot about how seriously they take job-site safety in general.

We offer 18 months interest-free financing, a 12-month same-as-cash option, and 10-year low-interest loans for new roofs and home repairs. Which option fits best depends on the scope of the job, and we walk through the choices with you during your free estimate.
