Two Local Offices Cover Southern Illinois Storm Damage

If a storm rolled through your neighborhood, you don't have to wait on a crew driving in from outside the region. We work out of an office at 9610 Illinois Highway 154 in Sparta, IL 62286, reachable at 618-443-1010, and a second office at 205 S Illinois St. in Belleville, IL 62220, reachable at 618-744-7024. Our main line, 888-IL-ROOF2, connects to both.

We're open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, and Saturday by appointment. Our service areas stretch across Randolph County, St. Clair County, Sparta, East St. Louis, Herrin, and the surrounding Southern Illinois communities in between. That local footprint matters after a storm, because roofs affected by the same weather system tend to get damaged around the same time, and you want a contractor who's already working nearby rather than one booking three weeks out from another state.

How Much Wind and Hail Does It Take to Damage a Roof?

Hail measuring 7/8 to 1 1/4 inch, paired with winds of at least 50 mph, can cause minor to moderate shingle and siding damage. Hail from 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch under those same wind speeds can cause moderate to major roof damage, according to the National Weather Service.

Wind alone doesn't need hail riding along with it to do damage. The National Weather Service documented a South Texas storm where gusts of at least 50 mph caused minor damage broadly, and estimated 50 mph gusts stripped shingles off older apartment buildings in Brownsville, per its 2009 event report. That's worth knowing if your shingles look intact from the ground after a windy night. Wind can lift and loosen shingles without hail marks anywhere to point to, and the damage can sit hidden until a leak shows up months later.

What Happens When You Call JS & Sons for Emergency Storm Repair?

We move quickly on wind, hail, tornado, and fire damage, and we work directly with your insurance company when needed. A visit starts with a full inspection of your roof and exterior, then we walk you through what we found and what it'll take to fix it.

Emergency storm repair at JS & Sons covers more than the roof deck. If wind tore siding loose along with shingles, or a fallen limb put a hole through both, we handle the full exterior in one project rather than sending you to separate contractors for each piece. For roof-specific work, whether it's patching storm damage or a complete roof installation, our crews are TAMKO Pro trained and certified, and every roof replacement carries our 5-year craftsmanship warranty.

Avoiding Storm-Repair Scams After a Southern Illinois Storm

Storm damage brings out contractors who show up uninvited and pressure homeowners into signing on the spot. The Illinois Attorney General advises getting written estimates from multiple contractors, avoiding full payment before the work is finished, and never paying a contractor in cash.

We back that same standard. Our free estimate and consultation puts real project details and real pricing in writing before you commit to anything. We're licensed, bonded, and insured, carry full liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we're a local company with two standing offices, not a crew that vanishes once the check clears. If you're comparing quotes after a storm, that written estimate and a verifiable local address are worth checking on any contractor you're considering.

Storm-Ready Roofing Materials We Install

Not every shingle is built for the wind and hail speeds Southern Illinois sees. We install Titan XT Premium Architectural Shingles for homeowners who want a proven, manufacturer-approved roofing system, and StormFighter Flex Polymer Modified Shingles, which were voted 2025 Product of the Year. StormFighter Flex uses a polymer-modified construction designed to hold up under the kind of impact and flex that hail and wind put on a roof.

If your existing roof structure is still sound and just needs a fresh surface, a re-roof installs a second shingle layer over eligible existing roofing after a full inspection confirms it qualifies. It's a faster, lower-disruption path than tearing off the old roof entirely, and it's worth asking about before assuming you need a full replacement. Browse our full product lineup to see what fits your roof.

Insurance Claims and Financing for Storm Repairs

If your loss is covered under your policy, your insurer sends an adjuster to confirm the damage and offer a settlement amount, and your deductible comes out of your own pocket. If that settlement doesn't cover what the repair actually costs, we can speak to your insurance company on your behalf to help close the gap.

For repairs and replacements that fall outside insurance, or for the portion insurance doesn't cover, we offer financing built around what homeowners actually need: 18 months interest-free, 12 months same-as-cash, or a 10-year low-interest loan. You don't have to pay for a new roof in one lump sum to get the work done right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on commercial roofs, or just homes?

We handle both residential and commercial roofing across Southern Illinois. Whether it's a single-family home in Sparta or a commercial property in Belleville, the same licensed crews, TAMKO Pro certification, and 5-year craftsmanship warranty apply to the work.

Can I get a re-roof instead of a full replacement?

Sometimes. A re-roof installs a second shingle layer over your existing roofing, but it only works if your current roof passes a full surface inspection first. We check eligibility during your free estimate before recommending a re-roof over a full replacement.

Will JS & Sons deal with my insurance company directly?

Yes. We can speak to your insurer on your behalf, particularly when the settlement offered doesn't match what the repair or replacement actually costs. You're still responsible for your policy's deductible, but we help you navigate the rest of the claims process.

What if I don't have storm damage but just want a free estimate?

That's fine. Our free estimate and consultation covers new roof installations, re-roofs, siding, and other exterior work too, not only storm repair. There's no cost to get a project estimate and real pricing discussion with a JS & Sons contractor.
