to our new web page.
I assume you are here because you have a roof problem or are
anticipating the need for a new roof. Either way, we can help!
I started G. Klemm Roofing in 1994. My goal has always been to
provide an honest and professional service for residential
reroofing and repair in the Tri-Cities and surrounding
communities. I wanted to help raise the bar in the trade by
providing quality roofing work to homeowners done by first rate
craftsmen who would treat the job as if it was their own home. Our
motto is simple: No repair is too small and we will never try to
sell you a roof before it's time.

shingles to Composite, Synthetic and Metal roofing, Our
professional installers are on top of things.

We won't try to sell you a roof you don't need. Our

best to resolve them.

Ventilation
Proper ventilation is necessary to help prevent mold growth in
attics, reduce cooling costs, prevent ice dam issues and extend
the life of the shingles.
Had an ice dam causing significant water damage to our home.
Called G. Klemm and Jerry was out within an hour on a ladder
clearing the ice dam. Very professional and timely. Thanks
G. Klemm for saving the day!
Great company! We have had Steve out 3 times for different
issues and every time he amazes me. Very direct, honest and
trustworthy. The repairs he has done have been great! They
are a definite go to for roof and gutter needs!
Thank you Jeff Rosier for talking me through the panic of a
leaking roof in the dead of winter on a Sunday. And thank
you for showing up as promised in time this morning to
address the leaking roof and the ice damn that has now
damaged by bathroom wall. I look forward to doing more
business with G. Klemm Roofing....after this snow melts!
Courteous. Kind. Knowledgeable. Affordable.

The G Klemm Roofing Story
I first started roofing for my father in the late 1960's. He
was a contactor in the Wheaton area. He passed away far too early
in 1976. At the time, I was not prepared to take over the business
and spent the next 18 years working for numerous companies in the
construction industry in the area. I spent many years in the flat
roof union and worked with a wide variety of products. I also
worked as a superintendent for a custom homebuilder in St.
Charles. My last job as superintendent and foreman for a roofing
company in Winfield was for a very demanding employer and I made
the smart decision that I needed to stay married to my lovely wife
as opposed to that job. At that time I decided now was the time to
start my own business. The residential roofing industry was
changing and the storm chasing business model was becoming the
norm. These companies pop up after a storm and swamp the area with
inexperienced "sales" people who try to use fear to
convince homeowners that they have hail damage. The
"damage" they find is usually normal wear and tear but
when promised a free roof many homeowners find it hard to resist.
Unfortunately a good number of these companies are not what they
claim and it is not uncommon for them to tearoff a perfectly good
roof and for the roof they put on to leak within a few years and
the company is long gone.
The labor pool was also changing, becoming dominated by cheap
foreign and out of town workers.
Over the years, the business has grown and we have become well
known as a company that can solve problems where others attempts
have failed. Today we have ten excellent employees and we also use
a great sub crew.
We service other communities but concentrate on our core area.
We do not travel too far to do our job. I feel the further one
travels the less attention they can give to any one location.
We Are Your Local roofer.
