We are certified by the manufacturers whose products we install

Roofing manufacturers take steps to ensure that their products are correctly and professionally. They will not honor a warranty on a roof installation by a company that has not been factory trained.

Blackhawk Roofing is fully certified by the manufacturers whose products we install. We attend regular recertification courses, and we are factory-certified by these companies:

  • CertainTeed ShingleMaster
  • GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor
  • Mulehide Roofing Products
  • Springfield Seamless Gutter Expert
  • Velux Skylights Certified

We specialize in residential tear-offs, commercial roofing, roof repair, and roof maintenance. When you choose Blackhawk Roofing, you'll have peace of mind. We provide you with a roofing system that is watertight and worry-free. We'll evaluate critical logistical issues and familiarize our crew with all of the requirements of your job. Our job is not complete until you are satisfied.

Many roofing contractors rely on subcontractors. We don't. Every installer and laborer you see on your project works for Blackhawk Roofing. Our employees share our philosophy of always going the extra mile. Owner Dan Schnell is often cited as the reason why customers choose us, again and again.

Blackhawk Roofing is licensed and insured

If you hire a Central Illinois roofing company without a state contractor license or insurance coverage, or whose coverage is inadequate or has lapsed, you are setting yourself up for trouble. If an accident occurs on your property, or a worker is injured, you may be held liable. Many homeowner insurance policies and commercial property insurance policies do not cover such damage or injury. You could end up paying expensive damages out of pocket and might even face legal action.

Avoid these problems by insisting that the Central Illinois roofing contractor you hire provides proof of their current insurance coverage. Blackhawk Roofing carries liability coverage up to $1 million per job, as well as full workers' compensation coverage.
