Roofing in Sullivan, IL
Sullivan reported exactly one code to the state: a 2009 International Building Code. No residential code, no property maintenance code, nothing else. For the seat of Moultrie County that is a thin file, and the county's own single entry is the Illinois State Plumbing Code, reported by the county planner rather than a building official.
A building code without a residential code beside it is a commercial instrument. It governs the downtown blocks and the schools and speaks to nothing directly about a two-story frame house on a side street. So on houses here we work to what the village will actually inspect, and we ask before we assume a section applies.
This city has had its roofs taken twice inside five years. On 20 May 2013 a 70 mile per hour gust tore a roof off a house and damaged the siding and shingles of another. On 15 May 2018 the same speed ripped roofs off several houses and flattened a machine shed on the southeast side of town.
Hail of 1.75 inches fell twice within four minutes on 26 March 2026, at 7:54 and 7:58 in the evening, and again on 16 July 2017. Four separate one-inch days sit between those dates, which is a claims history worth keeping a file on rather than reconstructing from memory.
The city holds 1,898 housing units with 613 built before 1940 and a median build year of 1961. Median owner-occupied value is 102,500 dollars, 576 of 1,836 occupied units are rented, and just 62 units are vacant, which is unusually tight for a stock of this age.
Two hundred and eighteen of those units are mobile homes, better than one in nine and the second largest share on our list. We do not reroof manufactured housing, and saying that at the first telephone call saves everybody an appointment that neither of us wanted to keep.
The rest of what we do here is the working downtown: older masonry buildings under low-slope decks that get cored on a grid and logged against a numbered plan you keep. A coating over wet insulation is money buried, and we will show you the wet plugs before we say so rather than asking you to take the finding on trust.
Our roofing scope in Sullivan
Decatur Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Sullivan that we do in Decatur — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- 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.
- Roof Ventilation — A recover adds a covering and adds nothing at all to the ventilation underneath it. That sounds obvious written down, and it is still the single most common thing that gets skipped when a Decatur roof is done cheaply.
- Skylights — A skylight is the one thing on a roof that cannot be nested. Every other detail on a recover can be worked around by setting new courses into the old butt lines, but a skylight has to be dealt with directly, and that decides more recover jobs than people expect.
- Fascia and Soffit — The eave is where a roof tells you what has been done to it. Layer count shows in section at the rake, and the condition of the fascia and the cornice shows how long water has been arriving in the wrong place.
- Chimney and Flashing — If a recover fails early in Decatur, the flashing is usually why. The field of a nested roof is quite forgiving.
- Commercial Roofing — Decatur carries far more commercial and industrial roof area than a city of seventy thousand normally would. Corn and soybean processing, the Caterpillar plant that builds the large off-highway trucks, and the warehousing around them all sit on large low-slope decks.

About Sullivan, IL — and why local matters here
Sullivan sits in Moultrie County with a population of roughly 4,413, close enough to Decatur that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Little Theatre on the Square, Illinois Route 32 south of Sullivan.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Sullivan 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.
