The short answer

We roof Makanda, Illinois about ten miles south of Carbondale near Giant City State Park. Inspections and written estimates are free, the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (618) 549-0800, and the crews are our own employees rather than storm-season subcontractors.

Makanda is Giant City country - wooded, hilly, and full of properties tucked back off the road under heavy hardwood canopy. It is beautiful and it is hard on roofs. Shade keeps slopes damp, limbs drop constantly, and steep drives make access a real part of the job.

What we see on Makanda roofs

  • Dense hardwood canopy dropping limbs and debris year-round
  • Shaded roofs holding moisture, with algae and moss on north slopes
  • Steep, narrow drives that affect staging and material delivery
  • Cabins, rentals and second homes as well as full-time residences

Every inspection here is written for the house in front of us. We photograph what we find, hand you a written estimate, and tell you plainly if the honest answer is that the roof has years left.

Makanda roofing questions

Can you get a truck up my drive?
Usually, and where we cannot we stage differently. Tell us about access when you call and we will plan for it.
Should I have trees trimmed back before a new roof?
If limbs are touching or overhanging the roof, yes. It is the cheapest way to add years to a new roof.
Are you local to Makanda or a storm-chasing crew?
Local. John Beal Roofing has been family owned and operated since 1947, we run our own crews in this region, and we are still here after the storm season ends.
What does an inspection cost in Makanda?
Nothing. Free inspection, free written estimate, no obligation, and photos of whatever we find.
