Roofing in Lovington, IL
On the night of 14 March 2025, two EF1 tornadoes touched Lovington four minutes apart. The first ended here at 10:57; the second began here at 11:01 and ran northeast toward Williamsburg. Between them, at 10:59, a 70 mile per hour gust blew the doors and walls out of a farm building.
That night was not an outlier. An F0 in July 2001 did minor roof damage to seven homes and wrecked a garage. An F1 in March 2005 destroyed a barn, several outbuildings and several grain bins. On 15 March 2026 another EF1 came through two miles west of town, snapping large branches.
Hail here has cost real money. Stones of 1.75 inches on 5 April 2001 did 2,500 to 4,500 dollars of damage per car across the village, and two-inch hail had already come through on 7 April 1998. As recently as 18 November 2025, stones of 1.25 inches fell in a November thunderstorm.
And yet the median owner-occupied house in Lovington is worth 87,400 dollars, among the lowest figures anywhere we work. Stripping a roof to the deck on a building worth that little can absorb a tenth of its whole value, which is a genuinely hard number for any owner to justify to themselves or to a lender.
So we take that seriously rather than talking past it. Where a single application is up and the sheathing is sound, the nail-over is the honest recommendation, we will write it down, and we will stand behind the workmanship on it in writing rather than verbally. Where two applications are already up, there is one lawful job and one price.
The village holds 521 units, 173 of them raised before 1940 and 127 since 1990, which is a fair amount of newer building for a place this size. Sixty-one units stand vacant, a rate near twelve percent, and 143 of 460 occupied homes are rented. Nineteen units are mobile homes, which we do not reroof.
Lovington has nothing on file in the state's code directory, and Moultrie County's only entry is the plumbing code. Ask us what we intend to install and how it will be fastened, because in this village nobody else in the process is going to ask us that question on your behalf.
What we take on in Lovington
Decatur Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Lovington that we do in Decatur — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Roof Inspections — Our inspection answers a different first question than most. Before condition, before age, before anything about product, we establish how many roof coverings are on the building and we put that number at the top of the report.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — This is the page where we put in writing the thing most companies in this trade will only say quietly. On a one-layer Decatur house with a flat, sound deck, laying new shingles over the old ones is a legitimate roof, and quite often it is the one we recommend.
- Metal Roofing — Metal is the covering the code treats most generously as a recover, and it is also the one we most often talk Decatur homeowners out of putting on the main house. Those two facts are not in tension once you look at the numbers.
- Tile Roofing — We service tile and slate on the Decatur houses that already have it, and we will not sell you a conversion to it on a house that does not. This page mostly exists to explain the second half of that sentence.
- Flat and Low-Slope Roofing — Most low-slope roofing in Decatur is not a commercial building. It is the back of a house: a rear addition put on in the 1950s, a porch deck, a kitchen bump-out, a garage tied into a steeper roof above it.
- Roof Coatings and Sealing — Coatings do real work in the right place and cause real harm in the wrong one. In Decatur the wrong ones outnumber the right ones badly, so this page spends most of its length on the jobs we turn down.

About Lovington, IL — and why local matters here
Lovington sits in Moultrie County with a population of roughly 1,069, close enough to Decatur that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Lovington town square, Illinois Route 32 north of Lovington.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Lovington properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Moultrie County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
