From homes along Route 173 to the quiet residential streets throughout the village, we’re committed to providing Capron homeowners with honest, quality work. We also serve neighboring Poplar Grove, Caledonia, and the greater Belvidere area.
Capron Homes, Old and New
Capron has a little of everything. Census estimates show about 1 in 5 homes in the village were built before 1940, while nearly half were built between 1990 and 2009, and the median home dates to 1988. That mix means very different roofs on the same streets: older houses that may have several layers of shingles and board decking, and newer homes whose original asphalt shingles are now reaching the 20-year mark the National Association of Home Builders gives an asphalt roof.
Hail in Capron
Capron has seen serious hail. NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 1.75-inch hail, about the size of a golf ball, in Capron on July 13, 2015, along with a 60 mph gust. Hail that big can crack shingles and dent gutters and siding in a few minutes. Gusts of 55 mph were also reported in Capron in 2018 and 2021. Across Boone County, NOAA counts 35 hail reports from 2010 through 2025.
After a storm, call (815) 624-6278. Our inspection is free, and we’ll photograph anything we find for your hail damage claim. See hail damage roof repair in Capron.
Permits in Capron
Whether your Capron home is inside the village limits or out in the countryside, Martin Exteriors pulls and handles all required permits.
Roof Repair in Capron
Capron’s roofs range from older village houses to homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, but most of the leaks we’re called about are small fixes: a few shingles the wind tore off, a cracked rubber boot at a plumbing vent, flashing lifting off a chimney, or a valley where two roof planes meet. Each repair starts with a free inspection. We check the roof and the attic beneath it, take photos and give you a written price before we start, and we’ll tell you if a repair will do the job. More on roof repair and emergency roof repair. See our full guide to roof repair in Capron.
Ice Dams and Winter Leaks
Whether your house is one of Capron’s older village homes or one of its newer homes from the 1990s and 2000s, an ice dam forms the same way. Warm air in the attic melts snow, the water freezes again at the cold eave, and the next thaw drives it up under the shingles, often showing as a ceiling stain along an outside wall. Lasting fixes are better attic ventilation and ice and water shield along the eaves when the roof is replaced.
Our Capron Roof Replacement Process
Most Capron roofs are done in a day. Larger two-story homes, steep roofs and houses with several old layers can take more time, and the weather can shift the start date. For more on reroofing Capron homes, see roof replacement in Capron.
- Free inspection. Up on the roof and into the attic: we count the old layers, check the decking and ventilation and take photos of what we find.
- Written estimate. Everything is written down, including how replacement decking will be handled if we run into soft wood.
- Shingles and warranty. Choose a shingle line and color, or go with metal, and we’ll show you which GAF warranty your roof qualifies for.
- Permit. All required permits are pulled and handled by us, and we set up the inspections.
- Tear-off and deck repair. Your landscaping goes under tarps, the old layers all come off, and soft or rotted decking is replaced.
- Installation. We put ice and water shield at the eaves and in the valleys, then underlayment, drip edge, new flashing and vents, and finally the shingles, following GAF’s installation instructions.
- Cleanup and walk-through. Debris gets hauled off, a magnet goes over the yard and driveway to pick up stray nails, and we walk the new roof with you. If your roof qualifies for an enhanced GAF warranty, we register it.
Fewer than 2% of roofing contractors earn GAF’s Master Elite status, and Martin Exteriors is among them. See for yourself on our GAF contractor profile.

Roofing and Siding Services in Capron
Commercial Roofing
Around Capron there are machine sheds, farm buildings and small commercial buildings, and we inspect, repair and replace low-slope and metal roofs on all of them, working around your schedule.
Siding
Capron’s older houses may still have their original siding, and hail can crack the vinyl on newer ones. We install vinyl siding and, as a Certified James Hardie Installer, James Hardie fiber cement. Most siding jobs take 1 to 2 days, and our own crews are licensed for asbestos siding removal, so old cement asbestos siding is no problem. See our siding services.
Storm Damage
Northern Boone County sees hail, high winds and tornadoes. After a storm, give us a call: we’ll inspect the roof and siding on your Capron home, take photos and help with your insurance claim, and we’ll say so if it’s not worth a claim. Emergency tarping can be done within 24 hours. Read more about our storm damage repair.
Gutters
Hail dents gutters and leaves clog them. While we’re replacing the roof or siding on your Capron home, we can install new seamless gutters in the same project. See gutters with your new roof.
We serve all of Capron: Wooster Street, Grove Street and North Street, the neighborhoods off Cloud Mist Drive and Shadowbrook Drive, and the farms around the village. Nearby towns we also serve include Poplar Grove, Caledonia, Belvidere and Roscoe.

Warranties and Siding
Only Master Elite contractors can offer GAF’s strongest warranty, a 50-year warranty (GAF eligibility rules apply).

If you’re redoing the siding too, we’re a Certified James Hardie Installer. See roof replacement, roof repair and James Hardie siding.
Storm Claims and Emergency Tarping
Don’t climb onto a roof that hail, high winds or a tornado has torn up. Emergency tarping can be done within 24 hours. Since 2006 we’ve helped thousands of Rockford-area homeowners through roof claims. For your claim, we photograph the damage, can meet your adjuster at the house and review the insurer’s estimate with you. See insurance claims and emergency roof repair.
Older Siding, Asbestos Included
On Capron’s older houses, the original siding is sometimes cement asbestos shingles. Because our own crews are licensed for asbestos siding removal, we take it off properly before the new vinyl or James Hardie siding goes up. Most siding jobs take 1 to 2 days. See our siding services.
Two Warranties on Every Roof
You get two warranties on every roof we install: our workmanship warranty and the GAF warranty you choose. The terms are explained in writing before you sign. GAF eligibility requirements, coverage, terms and restrictions apply.
Considering metal rather than shingles? We install both metal roofing and asphalt shingle roofs, plus commercial roofing. If we’re replacing your roof or siding, new seamless gutters can be part of that same project. See gutters with your new roof.

Capron Roofing FAQ
Which Martin Exteriors office serves Capron?
Capron is served by our main office at 11704 Main St, Roscoe, IL 61073, about 25 minutes away. Call (815) 624-6278. Someone answers 24/7.
Where do I get a roof permit in Capron?
You don’t have to get one. Martin Exteriors pulls and handles all required permits for Capron roofs, inside or outside the village limits.
Has Capron had large hail?
Yes. NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 1.75-inch hail, about golf ball size, in Capron on July 13, 2015, with a 60 mph gust.
Do older and newer Capron homes need different roofs?
They need different prep. Older homes often have several layers of shingles and board decking that we check before replacing. Newer homes from the 1990s and 2000s are more likely to need ventilation and ice barrier upgrades along with new shingles.
Can you replace siding too?
Yes. We’re a Certified James Hardie Installer, and we also install vinyl siding.
Do you help with insurance claims in Capron?
Yes. We photograph the damage on your Capron home, can meet your adjuster at the house and go over the insurer’s estimate with you. Since 2006 we’ve helped thousands of Rockford-area homeowners through roof claims. We’re a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster.
How fast can you tarp a roof after a storm in Capron?
Emergency tarping can be done within 24 hours. Call (815) 624-6278. Someone answers 24/7.
Can you remove old asbestos siding?
Yes. Since our own crews are licensed for asbestos siding removal, we remove the old siding and haul it away, then install the new vinyl or James Hardie siding.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
It depends on the roof. Damage in one spot on a fairly young roof usually calls for a repair. A roof that’s getting old, leaks in several places or keeps needing patches is often the better use of your money to replace. Capron has everything from homes built before 1940 to houses from the 2000s, so we look at each roof on its own and give you a straight answer.
Do you install metal roofs in Capron?
Yes, we install metal roofs on homes and on commercial buildings. If you’re comparing metal and shingles, ask at the free inspection and we’ll explain how they differ on your roof. See metal roofing.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
You get our workmanship warranty plus the GAF warranty you choose. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer qualifying roofs a 50-year GAF warranty with 30 years on workmanship (GAF eligibility rules apply). GAF eligibility requirements, coverage, terms and restrictions apply.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, with payments as low as $149/month for qualified buyers. See our financing options page.
