What affects the price

Replacing a roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the primary driver, along with the specific materials you select—as premium shingles or metal options carry higher price points than standard asphalt. We also look at the complexity of your roof’s architecture, such as steep pitches or multiple chimneys, which require extra labor and safety gear. Additionally, the condition of the wood decking underneath your old shingles can add costs if repairs are needed once we strip the old layers.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What are the best metal roofing materials for Chicago homes?

For Chicago homes, standing seam metal roofs are a top choice. They offer excellent protection against wind and heavy rain, common in our area. Materials like steel or aluminum are durable. They can handle our changing seasons well. Ask the pros about the best fit for your specific property.

When should I consider a metal roof for my Chicago house?

Consider a metal roof if your current asphalt shingles are nearing the end of their life. Metal roofs are a long-term solution for Chicago properties. They can also be a good choice if you're looking for better energy efficiency. A metal roof can help reduce cooling costs in the summer. Discuss your options with a specialist.

What's the difference between metal roof panels and standing seam?

Metal roof panels are typically smaller sections that overlap. Standing seam metal roofs have raised seams that interlock. This design provides superior water shedding and wind resistance. For Chicago's weather, standing seam is often preferred for its robust performance. The pros can explain the benefits of each for your home.

Can you repair just a section of a metal roof in Chicago?

Yes, sometimes only a section of a metal roof needs repair. This depends on the extent of the damage. Minor dents or localized leaks might be fixable without a full replacement. A specialist will inspect your roof to determine the best course of action. They can advise if a partial repair is suitable for your Chicago home.

What are the benefits of a standing seam roof in Chicago?

A standing seam roof offers excellent durability and longevity. The concealed fasteners protect against leaks and corrosion, ideal for Chicago's climate. They also provide a clean, modern aesthetic. Many homeowners appreciate their resistance to extreme weather. They're a smart, long-term investment for your property.

Are asphalt shingle roofs a good option for Chicago?

Asphalt shingle roofs are a common and affordable option for Chicago homes. They offer decent protection and come in many styles. However, metal roofs generally last longer and perform better in extreme weather. If you're considering asphalt, make sure to choose high-quality shingles. Discuss the pros and cons with the roofing specialists.

What roofing materials should I avoid in Chicago?

For Chicago's climate, you'll want to avoid materials that don't hold up well to temperature fluctuations or heavy precipitation. Some older or lower-quality asphalt shingles might not last as long. It's best to opt for materials known for their durability in harsh weather. The pros can guide you toward the most reliable options.
