Most residential re-roofing projects are completed in 2–4 working days, depending on the size of the home, the number of existing layers to remove, and weather conditions. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and clean up your property every evening before we leave.

We install shingles from the three most trusted manufacturers in the industry: Tamko, CertainTeed, and Owens-Corning. Each brand offers a range of styles, colors, and warranty levels, and we'll help you choose the best option for your home's architecture, budget, and performance needs.

Young's Roofing is the only authorized Johns Manville applicator in all of Central Illinois.

We also install WeatherBond flat rubber roofing systems and work with Kelly Energy Systems for energy-efficient commercial solutions.

Astec Re-Ply® is a fluid-applied roofing restoration system that has been proven since 1986. Instead of tearing off and replacing your existing roof, we apply a seamless, monolithic membrane directly over your current roof surface. It eliminates seams and joints where leaks start, reflects solar heat to reduce cooling costs by up to 40%, and comes with 10 or 15-year renewable warranties covering both materials AND labor from the manufacturer. As we like to say: Why Replace It If You Can Re-Ply® It?

With the current 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit, solar panel systems are more affordable than ever. On average, a solar installation pays for itself in approximately 3 years through energy savings and tax incentives. After that, you're generating virtually free electricity with no scheduled maintenance required. We'll provide a detailed savings estimate during your free consultation.

Yes — we fabricate and install custom seamless gutters on-site using our portable gutter machine. We offer 5-inch gutters for residential properties and heavy-duty 6-inch gutters for commercial buildings. Seamless gutters eliminate the joints and seams where leaks and clogs typically occur, giving you a cleaner look and better performance.

Hallett Gutter Covers are a premium gutter protection system that keeps leaves, pine needles, and debris out of your gutters while allowing maximum water flow. We are the exclusive Hallett Gutter Covers applicator in our area. They eliminate the need for dangerous ladder climbs to clean your gutters and help prevent ice dams, foundation damage, and overflow staining.

Contact Young's Roofing as soon as possible. We prioritize storm damage calls and can often have a crew on-site the same day for emergency tarping to prevent further interior damage.

Young's Roofing is based in Litchfield, Illinois and serves homeowners and businesses throughout Central Illinois.

The answer depends on your roof's age, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying structure. We offer free inspections and will give you an honest assessment of whether repairs will extend your roof's life or whether replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option. For commercial flat roofs, Astec Re-Ply® restoration is often a smart alternative that costs a fraction of full replacement.

Warranty coverage varies by project type. Our residential shingle installations qualify for full manufacturer warranties from Tamko, CertainTeed, or Owens-Corning. Commercial projects through Johns Manville carry exclusive JM warranty options. Astec Re-Ply® provides 10 or 15-year renewable warranties covering both materials and labor directly from the manufacturer — one of the strongest warranties in the industry. We'll explain all warranty options during your estimate so you can make an informed decision.
