Beloit sits right across the state line from South Beloit and our Roscoe office at 11704 Main St, a short drive down the road. Located just minutes from our Roscoe, IL office, Beloit is a natural extension of our service area. We’ve been putting roofs and siding on Stateline homes since 2006, and a lot of our customers are on the Wisconsin side. When you call us, you’re calling a local, family-owned company, not a storm crew that showed up from out of state last week.
Martin Exteriors Roofing & Siding is a GAF Master Elite contractor (a distinction GAF gives fewer than 2% of roofers), a four-time Inc. 5000 company and a licensed Wisconsin dwelling contractor (WI license 1436189). We have been voted What Rocks Rockford Best Roofer, 6 years running (2020 to 2025), and What Rocks Rockford Best Siding, 2021 to 2025.
Whether you need a complete roof replacement, storm damage repair, or new siding, our team delivers the same award-winning quality that has made us the trusted choice across the Stateline area.
Roof Replacement Contractors
Beloit has a real mix of houses. You’ve got older two-stories near Beloit College and downtown, postwar ranches, and newer builds off Milwaukee Road. Older roofs can hide a few surprises, like soft decking or more than one layer of old shingles. We tear off down to the deck, replace bad wood, and install the full GAF system the way the manufacturer specifies.
Most roofs are replaced in a single day. You’ll know the plan before we start, including how we handle any rotted decking we find, and we clean up the yard before we leave.
Because we’re GAF Master Elite, we can offer a 50-year GAF warranty with 30 years on workmanship on qualifying roofs (GAF eligibility rules apply). GAF eligibility requirements, terms and restrictions apply.

Roof Repair in Beloit
Not every leak means a new roof. A lifted shingle, a cracked pipe boot or loose flashing around a chimney can often be fixed in one visit. We’ll get up on the roof, take photos, and show you what we found. If a repair will do the job, we’ll tell you. If it won’t, we’ll show you why.
If your Beloit home has a clay, concrete or slate tile roof, don’t let a few cracked tiles talk you into a whole new roof. We fix tile roofs by replacing broken or slipped pieces, resealing flashing and repairing the underlayment where it’s worn. We also offer yearly maintenance plans, so someone checks the roof before a small problem turns into a ceiling stain. Read about tile roof repair across southern Wisconsin.

Common Roof Repairs on Beloit Homes
With so many Beloit houses built before 1960, most of the repair calls we get come down to the same handful of problems. Here’s what we fix most often:
- Wind-damaged shingles. Shingles that lift, crease or tear off in a hard west wind, usually along the ridge, the rakes and the eaves.
- Chimney flashing. Older brick chimneys where the metal flashing has pulled loose or the patch tar from an earlier fix has dried out and cracked.
- Valley leaks. Water getting in where two roof slopes meet, especially in valleys that have already been patched once or twice.
- Vent and pipe flashing. Rubber pipe boots and vent seals crack after years of sun and cold, and water follows the pipe straight down into the house.
- Ice dam leaks. Melting snow that refreezes at the eaves and backs up under the shingles. That usually points to an attic ventilation or insulation problem as well, so we check the attic too. See attic ventilation.
- Soft spots in the deck. Boards or plywood rotted by a slow leak. We cut out the bad wood and replace it before the problem spreads.
Repair or Replace: How We Decide
We look at the roof’s age, how widespread the wear is, the condition of the decking, and whether the same leak keeps coming back. One problem area on a younger roof usually means a repair. Wear across the whole roof at around 20 years or more, or a roof that already has two layers on it, usually means it’s time to replace. Either way, you’ll see the photos and make the call.
If Your Roof Is Leaking Right Now
Move anything valuable out from under the drip, set a bucket under it, and keep people out of any room where the ceiling is sagging with water. Please don’t climb onto a wet or icy roof yourself. Then call (815) 624-6278. Someone answers 24/7, and we’ll talk you through what to do next and set up a time to look at it.
How a Martin Roof Job Works in Beloit, Step by Step
Here’s what a roof replacement looks like from your first call to the final walkthrough.
- Free inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, vents, decking and attic ventilation, count the layers of old shingles, and take photos so you can see what we see.
- Written estimate. You get a written estimate before any work starts, with decking and any extra layers spelled out. If you’d rather spread out the cost, financing is available, as low as $149/month for qualified buyers.
- Materials and warranty. You choose asphalt shingles or a metal roof, plus the line and color, and we go over which GAF warranty your roof qualifies for.
- Permit. We pull and handle all required permits using our Wisconsin dwelling contractor credentials (WI license #1436189).
- Tear-off and deck repair. We protect your landscaping, strip the roof down to the deck, and replace any boards or plywood that are soft or rotted.
- Installation. Ice and water barrier at the eaves and in the valleys, underlayment, new flashing and drip edge, ridge and attic ventilation, then your new roof, installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Cleanup and walkthrough. We haul away the old roof, run a magnetic sweep for nails across the yard and driveway, and walk the finished job with you. If your roof qualifies for an enhanced GAF warranty, we register it for you.
You can confirm our GAF Master Elite status, which GAF gives to fewer than 2% of roofing contractors, on our GAF contractor profile. Curious what drives the price of a new roof up or down? Our roof replacement cost guide explains it.

Siding in Beloit
A lot of Beloit homes are still wearing faded vinyl or old aluminum that’s dented from years of hail. New siding tightens up the house and makes it look cared for again. We install vinyl siding from Mastic and Norandex, and James Hardie fiber cement if you want something heavier.
A typical siding job takes 1 to 2 days, and most jobs get new house wrap underneath. We install year-round, winter included. Old siding is no problem, asbestos included. We handle it.
See our siding installation and vinyl siding pages. Read more about siding in Beloit. For broken, loose or rotted boards, see siding repair in Beloit.
Storm, Hail and Wind Damage
Storms that cross the Rock River valley don’t stop at the state line. After hail or high wind, we’ll inspect your roof and siding, document the damage with photos and measurements, and walk you through what we found. If you’d like, we’ll meet your adjuster at the house so they see everything we documented.
We’re a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster, so you file the claim and deal with your insurance company. We give you the documentation to back it up. If it isn’t worth a claim, we’ll say so. Learn more about hail damage repair, wind damage repair and insurance claim help. See our guide to hail damage roof repair in Beloit.
Commercial Roofing in Beloit
We also work on flat and low-slope roofs for businesses along Prairie Avenue and across the Beloit area: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen and metal, plus roof coatings and maintenance plans. See commercial roofing.

Roofing in Beloit: Local Details
Beloit Homes and Roof Age
Beloit’s housing is older than most of the Stateline. Census estimates put the median Beloit home at 1957. About 27% of homes in the city were built before 1940 and more than half before 1960, while only about 1 in 10 went up after 2000. On houses that age we often find two or three layers of old shingles, board decking under the shingles, and chimneys and valleys that have been patched more than once. We check for all of it during the free inspection, so the price you get covers what the roof really needs.
Storms in Beloit
NOAA’s Storm Events Database has plenty of Beloit entries. On March 31, 2023, an EF-0 tornado started in the Merrill Park area in the center of Beloit and uprooted trees across the east side of the city. Five days later, on April 5, 2023, an NWS survey found straight-line winds up to 80 mph from the west side of Beloit through the east side, damaging bleachers at Beloit Memorial High School. Hail up to 2 inches fell in Beloit on May 12, 2014, and again on April 17, 2026.
From 2010 through 2025, NOAA counts 81 hail reports in Rock County, 10 of them 2 inches or larger, plus 124 severe thunderstorm wind reports. After a storm, check your gutters and roof vents for dents and call (815) 624-6278.
