Frequently Asked Questions About roofing in Chicago

How much does a roof replacement cost in Chicago?

For a typical Chicago home with asphalt shingles, expect $6,000–$12,000. Flat roofs run $4,000–$8,000. We provide free, detailed estimates after inspecting your roof’s size, pitch, and current condition. Call (312) 313-3253 for yours.

How long does a roof last in Chicago weather?

Asphalt shingles last 20–25 years in our climate. Metal roofs hold 40–60 years. Ice, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles wear roofs faster, so annual inspections after winter are smart. We’ve replaced roofs on 100-year-old Chicago bungalows that lasted decades with proper care.

Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes — we work directly with your adjuster to document hail, wind, and ice damage. We’ve helped over 300 Chicago homeowners get claims approved since 2015. Bring us your claim number, and we’ll walk you through every step.

What’s the best roofing material for a flat roof in Chicago?

Modified bitumen or TPO are top choices. Modified bitumen handles foot traffic well — common on Chicago three-flats. TPO reflects heat, lowering summer cooling costs. Both handle snow loads and ponding water. We install both and can match your building’s needs.

How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?

Missing shingles, leaks around chimneys, or granules in gutters mean repair may work if damage covers under 30% of the roof. Widespread curling, sagging, or multiple leaks usually call for replacement. We’ll inspect and give you a straight answer — free.

Are you licensed and insured as a Chicago roofing contractor?

Absolutely — we carry full liability insurance and workers’ comp. Our crew has over 40 years combined experience on Chicago homes. We meet all city licensing requirements and can provide proof before any work starts. Your peace of mind matters.
