How much does roofing cost in Chicago?

Costs vary with the size of the job, materials, and scope of work. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the exact price before any work begins. Most repairs range from a few hundred dollars, while full replacements depend on roof size and material choice.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. We work directly with all major insurance carriers in Illinois. Our team documents the damage, meets your adjuster on-site, and handles the claims paperwork so you don't have to navigate the process alone.

How quickly can you start?

We offer same-day inspections for most requests. Emergency repairs can typically begin within 24-48 hours, and scheduled replacements are usually completed within one to two weeks of approval.

What warranty do you offer?

Chicago Roofing Team provides a workmanship warranty on every project, plus manufacturer warranties on materials. We stand behind our work long after the job is done.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Chicago Roofing Team is fully licensed and insured in Illinois, carrying general liability and workers' compensation coverage. License information is available on request — just call (312) 313-3253.

Roofing repair or full replacement — how do I know?

It depends on the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how widespread the wear is. Our free inspection gives you an honest assessment and a clear recommendation, with no pressure to over-buy.

Gutter Installation in Chicago, IL

Your roof sheds water, but your gutters direct it away from your foundation, basement, and landscaping. At Chicago Roofing Team, we install seamless aluminum gutters built to handle Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring downpours. We've replaced thousands of leaky, clog-prone sectional gutters across the city since 2005.

Why Does Gutter Installation Matter for Your Chicago Home?

Chicago averages 37 inches of rain per year, plus snowmelt from 30 inches of snow. Without properly sized and pitched gutters, water pools around your foundation, seeps into your basement, and rots your fascia boards. A professional gutter installation isn't just about aesthetics—it's structural protection.

What Does Chicago Roofing Team’s Gutter Installation Include?

We replace old or damaged gutters with seamless, custom-formed aluminum sections. Our process covers removal of existing gutters and downspouts, fascia inspection and repair, installation of new 5-inch or 6-inch K-style gutters, downspouts with splash blocks or extensions, and all hangers and sealants. We also install gutter guards if you choose.

What Materials Do We Use for Gutter Installation?

We primarily use 0.032-inch thick aluminum in 20 standard colors. Aluminum won't rust like steel and resists dents better than vinyl. For commercial or heavy-runoff applications, we offer copper gutters—these cost 3-4 times more but last 50+ years. We do not install vinyl gutters: they crack in Chicago's subzero temperatures and sag under ice weight.

How Much Does Gutter Installation Cost in Chicago?

For a typical 1,500- to 2,000-square-foot Chicago home, expect $800 to $2,500 for seamless aluminum gutters, including downspouts and basic accessories. Copper runs $3,000 to $6,000. Add $400 to $1,000 for gutter guards. Your final cost depends on linear footage (average 150-200 feet), number of downspouts, and whether fascia repairs are needed.

How long does gutter installation take?

Most residential gutter installations are completed in one day. A two-person crew can remove old gutters, fabricate new sections on-site using a mobile roll-forming machine, and install everything within 6-8 hours. Larger homes or complex rooflines may require a second day.

Our Step-by-Step Gutter Installation Process

Inspection & Measurement: We inspect your fascia, soffit, and existing gutter system. We measure roofline length and identify downspout locations for optimal drainage.
Material Selection: You choose gutter size (5-inch standard or 6-inch for steep roofs), color, and optional gutter guard style. We explain the pros and cons of each option.
Old Gutter Removal: We carefully remove old gutters and downspouts, disposing of all debris. We inspect and repair any rotted fascia boards—adding new wood if needed.
Seamless Fabrication: Using a mobile roll-forming machine, we fabricate continuous gutter sections on-site to your exact roofline measurements. No seams mean no leaks.
Installation: We attach gutters with hidden hangers every 24 inches, pitch them ¼ inch per 10 feet toward downspouts, and seal all end caps and outlets with silicone.
Downspout & Drainage: We install downspouts with splash blocks or extensions that carry water at least 5 feet from your foundation. We test the system with a hose to confirm proper flow.
Cleanup & Final Walkthrough: We remove all debris, nails, and old materials. We walk the property with you, show you how the gutters function, and explain your warranty coverage.

Warranty and Insurance on Your Gutter Installation

All our gutter installations come with a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, sagging, and installation defects. The aluminum material carries a 20-year manufacturer warranty against corrosion and peeling. We are fully licensed and insured in Illinois, including workers' compensation and $2 million general liability coverage.

Our Gutter Installation Process

Free On-Site Inspection: We visit your home, measure every roofline section, inspect fascia boards for rot, and check existing downspout placement. We discuss gutter size, color, and guard options based on your roof pitch and tree cover.
Custom Fabrication at Your Home: Our mobile roll-forming machine creates seamless gutter sections from a coil of 0.032-inch aluminum. Each section is cut to the exact length of your roofline—no seams, no leaks.
Old Gutter Removal & Fascia Repair: We carefully detach and remove all old gutters and downspouts. If we find rotted fascia, we cut out damaged sections and install new primed wood before hanging new gutters.
Installation & Pitching: We attach hidden hangers every 24 inches into the fascia. We pitch the gutter trough ¼ inch per 10 feet toward each downspout location to ensure water flows freely. We seal all end caps and outlets with exterior silicone.
Downspout & Drainage Setup: We install downspouts at each low point, secured with straps every 6 feet. We attach splash blocks or corrugated extension pipes that carry water at least 5 feet from your foundation.
System Test & Final Cleanup: We run a garden hose through each gutter section to verify drainage and check for leaks. We pick up all debris, nails, and old materials. We then walk the property with you and explain your warranty coverage.
