Edwardsville homes
Edwardsville’s housing spans more than a century, and each era brings its own exterior needs.
Siding varies just as much: brick and wood shake on older homes, 1980s Masonite that is now deteriorating, vinyl throughout newer neighborhoods, and James Hardie and LP SmartSide in more new construction and remodels.
Is it time to replace your roof, siding or windows in Edwardsville?
Edwardsville’s housing spans more than a century. Whatever your home’s age, here is what wear looks like on its roof, siding and windows.
Signs your roof is wearing out
Near downtown, homes 80 to 130 years old have had several roofs, not all of them professionally installed, so wear can hide under the top layer. On the larger homes from the 1980s through the 2000s, dormers, hips and valleys are where leaks start.

Signs your siding is wearing out
Masonite siding from the 1980s is now deteriorating across Edwardsville: it swells, flakes and rots at the bottom edges. Vinyl in newer neighborhoods fades, cracks and pulls loose in wind.
Certified installer
Signs your windows are wearing out
Original wood windows on older homes rot and stick, and builder-grade windows from the 1980s onward fog between the panes as their seals fail. In the historic districts, replacements need a Certificate of Appropriateness first.
Certified installer
Insurance: some insurers limit coverage on older roofs, so storm damage left unrepaired can cost you later.
Some homeowners wait until there’s a leak, a draft or a cracked panel before calling. A free inspection catches problems before then, and tells you what needs a repair, what needs replacing, and what is still fine.
By era
What to expect from your home
Historic homes
Many homes near downtown are 80 to 130 years old, often brick, and have had several roofs over their lifetimes, not all of them professionally installed. We explain up front what we may find once the old layers come off.
Historic districts
In the LeClaire, St. Louis Street, Downtown and Brick Street historic districts, the city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from its Historic Preservation Commission before most roof, siding or window replacements, and before a building permit is issued.
The 1960s and 1970s
Ranch homes from these decades are likely on their second roof and may still have their original windows; the inspection starts with what is on the house today.
The 1980s through the 2000s
Larger homes with more complex rooflines, including dormers and hips. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s have likely had at least one replacement roof; some from the 2000s and 2010s still have their original roof.
A project near SIUE
A homeowner near SIUE contacted us after seeing our team at work on her neighbor’s home. Another roofer had knocked on her door about possible storm damage, and she wanted an opinion from a company she knew.
Our inspection confirmed hail damage. We guided her through the insurance claim, her insurer approved it, and we replaced her roof.
Some time later, a leak developed at a complex section near the chimney where our flashing had not seated properly. We repaired the flashing and the interior drywall, because it was our responsibility.
During that visit, she mentioned that several of her windows no longer opened. We replaced her windows, and later her front door. Her insurance covered the roof; she chose H&F for the rest on her own. That kind of trust is what we work to earn on every project.
Ice and water shield in Edwardsville
Edwardsville’s building code does not require ice and water shield on new roofs. We still recommend it for most homes.
This matters on insurance claims. Contractors unfamiliar with Edwardsville sometimes tell homeowners that insurance will cover ice and water shield, as it does where code requires it. When the insurer declines, the homeowner is left with the cost. We explain this before work begins, so you can decide with the full picture.
We work regularly with Edwardsville’s building department and know its requirements.

Questions from Edwardsville homeowners
Does Edwardsville require ice and water shield on a new roof?
No. Edwardsville’s building code does not require it. We still recommend it and will tell you up front whether insurance is likely to cover it.
Do I need approval to replace my roof or siding in a historic district?
Yes, in most cases. Homes in the LeClaire, St. Louis Street, Downtown and Brick Street historic districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission before most roof, siding or window replacements. Routine repairs and paint colors are exempt.
