What Roof Replacement Includes

A roof estimate starts with a full roof inspection: decking, sheathing, flashing, and ventilation all get checked. Then comes the scope of work in writing.

• Tear-off of old shingle, felt, and tar paper, with a dumpster staged on site
• Deck repair: replacing rotted plywood or osb, sistering a rafter or joist where needed
• New synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at the eave and valley
• Drip edge, step flashing, and chimney flashing set with sealant and caulk
• Ridge cap, ridge vent, and pipe flashing installed to building code

Crews load materials by ladder or scaffold, work under a safety harness, and stage a nail gun and air compressor.

Roofing square counts get calculated before the truck rolls. Cleanup means magnet-sweeping the lawn for every nail and screw.

Quality & Materials Standards

Material choice should match the pitch and the house.

A low-slope section may need a membrane like tpo, epdm, or pvc membrane, or a built-up roof finished with modified bitumen.

Steep fields take asphalt shingle — architectural shingle or three-tab shingle — while premium homes suit slate, clay tile, or concrete tile.

Some Bolingbrook roofs carry wood shake or cedar shake, and a few feature metal panel, standing-seam panel, or corrugated panel.

Each has a different cure time, coverage rate, and tensile strength. Blistering and seam failure are common when a coating is applied over a wet substrate.

Proper ventilation matters as much as the shingle.

A balanced soffit vent and ridge vent, sometimes with an attic fan, keep insulation dry and stop ice dams.

Insist on a written estimate and proof of loss before any insurance claim. An adjuster reviews storm damage; deductible, depreciation, and replacement cost decide the payout.

Local Service Areas

Crossings of Bolingbrook

Homes here mix 1990s two-story builds with newer townhomes, and the flat or low-slope sections are the weak point.

• Modified bitumen and membrane roofs near the parapet show ponding water
• Loose counterflashing lets water behind the fascia
• Aging pipe flashing and boot flashing crack at the collar
• Clogged downspouts back water up under the eave

Indian Oaks

The 1970s ranches and split-levels here carry original three-tab shingle or fiberglass on shallow gable and hip roofs.

• Granulated asphalt shingle sheds granules into the gutter
• Rotted roof deck and sheathing appear near the chimney
• Failing step flashing and apron flashing leak at the rake
• Worn tar paper leaves the felt exposed

Westbury

This subdivision's 1990s colonials and two-story homes have large roof planes that catch hail and wind.

• Hail damage dents ridge cap and metal panel vents
• Cracked caulk and mastic open at valleys and dormers
• Lifted nail and fastener heads rust through shingle
• Sagging gutters pull away from the soffit

Remington Lakes

Newer construction and townhomes dominate, with a mix of tile-look and architectural shingle over synthetic underlayment.

• Blistering shingle appears on south-facing slopes
• Skylight and chimney flashing lose their seal
• Underlayment tears expose the substrate at the verge
• Poor ventilation traps heat and shortens shingle life

Winston Woods

The 1970s and 1980s splits and ranches here often need full replacement, not patching.

• Wood shake and cedar shake dry out and split
• Rotted fascia and soffit follow long-term leaks
• Ice dams build at the eave and lift shingle edges
• Rusted drip edge stains the siding below

Canterbury Crossing

Newer townhomes and condominiums here share rooflines, so repairs must match the whole building.

• Flat sections rely on a waterproof membrane and scupper
• Shared parapet and coping joints need resealing
• Standing-seam panel seams loosen with thermal movement
• Snow guard and anchor points pull from the deck
