What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill.

You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off.

About this service

A steel roof is a high-durability option designed to last much longer than traditional asphalt shingles. These systems are highly resistant to wind and hail, making them a smart long-term investment for many homeowners. If you are tired of replacing shingles every time there is a storm or if you want to lower your home's energy absorption, steel is a strong candidate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What's the typical cost for asphalt shingle roof installation in Chicago?
I saw a red roof on a house in Lincoln Park, can I get a similar look?

Yes, you can definitely explore options for a red roof in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park. While traditional asphalt shingles come in many colors, including various shades of red, other materials also offer vibrant red options. Discussing your aesthetic goals with the installation specialist will help determine the best material and color to achieve the look you want for your Chicago home.

What does a roof installation near me typically involve?

A roof installation near you begins with a thorough inspection of your current roof and attic space. The old roofing materials are then removed and hauled away. Next, the roof deck is checked for any damage and repaired if necessary. New underlayment is installed, followed by the new roofing material, ensuring proper overlap and sealing. Finally, flashing is installed around vents, chimneys, and valleys, and the roof is cleaned up.

Can you tell me about rubber roofing for my Chicago house?

Rubber roofing, often EPDM, is a durable and cost-effective option, particularly for flat or low-slope roofs common in some Chicago architectural styles. It's known for its resistance to extreme temperatures and its longevity. Discussing rubber roofing with a specialist will clarify if it's the right fit for your home's design and your budget. We can get you that advice.

When would roofing tar be used in a roof repair?

Roofing tar, or asphalt-based sealant, is typically used for minor repairs, such as sealing small cracks or gaps around flashing or vents. It's a temporary fix for small leaks and is not a primary roofing material for a full installation. For significant issues, a professional assessment is crucial to determine if a more substantial repair or a full roof replacement is needed. We arrange for pros to assess your needs.
