Existing roofing materials are removed, and the roof deck is inspected for damaged or rotted wood. Any compromised sheathing is replaced before installation.

Roof Installation FAQs

How do I know if I need a new roof installation?

If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple leaks, missing shingles, sagging areas, or widespread damage, a full roof installation may be recommended.

What roofing material is best for Chicago homes?

Architectural shingles are the most common choice, but metal roofing offers longer lifespan and durability. Flat roofing systems are ideal for low-slope structures.

Will roof installation increase my home value?

Yes. A new roof installation improves curb appeal, structural integrity, and resale value while reducing future repair costs.

Do you inspect the roof deck before installing?

Yes. We inspect the plywood decking and framing to ensure the structure can properly support the new roofing system. Damaged wood is replaced before installation.

Do you offer financing for roof installation in Chicago?

Yes. We offer flexible financing options to help homeowners complete roof installation projects with manageable monthly payments.

Manufacturer warranties vary by product, but architectural shingles typically include lifetime limited coverage. We also provide a 5-year workmanship warranty on qualified installations.
