Residential Roofing

You have plenty of options for residential roofing. The different types of residential roofs range in price, but the quality of workmanship, customer service, and the overall quality of the roof should always be the highest priorities. The right roof will provide your home with the security and protection that it needs.

A roof performs many vital roles for a home. It keeps the inside of your property dry, protects you from the elements, and helps keep it energy-efficient. It also serves as an aesthetic capstone. To be effective, it must be both beautiful and functional. Depending on the climate, a home roof can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years.

Asphalt shingles are the most common type for homes in Chicago. These shingles come in many different colors and installation styles. Some shingles have a flat pattern, while others are three-dimensional, offering greater protection against the elements.

Commercial Roofing

When looking for commercial roofing services, be sure to hire us because we only use quality materials and we guarantee our work. We will help you avoid wasting time and money on an inferior product.

A great option for commercial roofing is metal. It is one of the oldest types of roofing and can be installed on top of your existing roof. You can add a special coating to make it water-proof and rust-proof. These roofing systems are made of aluminum, steel, or tin and can last about 40 years or more. They are weather-proof and fire-resistant, so you’ll be sure to keep your building safe for years to come.

Since many commercial buildings have flat roofs and low slope roofs, single ply or membrane roofing (PVC, rubber, TPO, EPDM, etc.) and spray foam roofing are also great options.

Roof Installation

Proper roof installation can improve your property’s curb appeal and provide an updated look. When done correctly, a new roof can increase the value of your home and require little to no restoration.

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, and winters in Chicago can be tough on roofs. If you want to avoid having to repair or replace your roof prematurely, consider us. Our premium products, impeccable craftsmanship, and transparent communication make us a great choice for new roof installations.

A very important component of your roof is its underlayment. This layer protects your roof from water penetration and enables your home to breathe properly. Using the right underlayment can ensure your roof is waterproof.

It’s important to check your underlayment and ventilation before getting a new roof installed. They are essential for your home’s health and can be updated if needed. If you have had problems with ice dams in the past, they can be mitigated by replacing them with new ventilation and underlayment.

Roof Replacement

It takes years for a new roof to show signs of wear and tear. When the time comes that your roof is beyond repair, a roof replacement may be necessary. It will be cheaper than chronic repairs and maintenance.

Roofing materials include shingles, tile, flat roofs, etc. As an example, asphalt flat roofs can expand and contract depending on weather patterns, and can eventually pull away from the edge of the roof. This can lead to leaks and moisture trapped inside the roof. A roof replacement can be necessary if it has developed holes or cracked tiles.

The cost of a roof replacement depends on several factors such as the size of the roof, the roofing material, your property’s location, and so on. The materials are often the most expensive part of a new roof. There are several different kinds of materials to choose from, but the most common ones are made from asphalt shingles, followed by metal, wood composite, and tile.

Roof Repair

Whether you’d like to replace your entire roof or you’re looking for emergency roof leak repairs, we can help!

Getting a roof repair service is an excellent idea if you suspect a leak. A roof that has been damaged by storms, hail, wind, snow or other factors can result in a costly nightmare down the road. We will check for storm damage and any other issues early on, which will allow you to avoid the need for costly roof repairs.

When you need emergency roof repair, we can also help. Although our official office hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, we can accommodate emergency calls for roof repairs. The sooner you contact us, the better.

Roof Inspection

It is essential to schedule a roof inspection on a regular basis. Not only can this service detect problems with the roof, but it can also prevent serious damage from occurring. Without this inspection, your roof may not be protected from the elements and can be dangerous if it starts to leak.

Furthermore, a poorly maintained roofing system can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can lead to health problems. Whether you are renovating or repairing your home, you need to get it inspected to ensure it is in tip-top condition.

A roof inspection is best performed by professionals like us at least once every three years. As the age of a roof increases, a roof inspection should also be more frequent, like once a year. Different kinds of damage can be inflicted by climate and time. The climate in Chicago is particularly harsh and may make your roof more susceptible to rot and damage.

Roofing Types & Materials We Use

We only use high-quality roofing materials. So you’re guaranteed that our work will last you a long time.

Metal Roofing

There are many types of metal roofing. The include, but are not limited to: aluminum, steel, copper, standing seam, corrugated steel, galvanized, galvalume, etc.

While this type of roofing is not the most popular material used for residential or commercial buildings, it is a great choice for many reasons. The benefits of a metal roof are considerable, and the price is worth it when you consider how much you can save in the long run.

One of the main benefits of metal roofing is that it is low maintenance. You just need to check for debris twice a year and remove any that has accumulated on the roof. It is a highly durable material and can be easily repaired. It also lowers your heating and cooling costs. Furthermore, you can choose from many different colors and textures.

It’s important to know that metal roofs can be noisy. If you want a quiet roof, you should choose a model with a special noise-reducing feature. Some models of these roofs offer acoustic insulation, which is a key advantage of metal roofing.

A metal roof will last for decades without needing to be replaced. This feature is what makes it so appealing to many homeowners. The long life expectancy of metal roofs is its biggest advantage.

Flat Roofing

One of the advantages of flat roofing is that it’s extremely durable, making it a good option for commercial buildings. But because of the nature of flat roofs, they are also more vulnerable to damage and problems. To avoid these problems, you should hire experienced professionals like us who know what they’re doing with flat roofs.

This type of roof can be damaged by hail, which can vary in size and shape. Sometimes, it can be as small as a pellet, but other times, it can be as large as a bowling ball or grapefruit. Regardless of size, the most common problem with flat roofing is pooling water on the top layer of the roof. This causes it to sink and compromise the structure underneath.

In some cases, a flat roof may need to be replaced. This can be a challenging process because it requires tearing off the old roof and installing the new one. Several materials can be used on flat and low sloped roofs. They include single ply or membrane roofing (PVC, rubber, TPO, EPDM, etc.) and spray polyurethane foam roofing.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Choosing asphalt shingle roofing is a great choice for many homeowners. This type of roofing is affordable and versatile. The shingles come in different colors and styles, so you can choose the best one for your home.

Its first advantage is affordability. Most people can’t afford to replace their roofs for several years, so this material can save them money in the long run. It can also last for decades with proper maintenance and care. The aesthetic appeal of the material makes it a popular choice, and it is easy to match it to any style or architectural scheme.

We provide excellent asphalt shingle roofing service and can work on architectural style shingling and three-tab shingles. We also work with many different types of stains, paints, and coatings.

Slate Roofing

The process of installing a slate roof is more complex than installing an asphalt roof. It requires special skills and equipment. Inexperienced contractors can cause more damage than necessary. So it’s imperative to only hire experienced contractors like us for this type of roof.

The advantages of slate roofing are numerous. Aside from its beautiful appearance, it’s a sturdy roofing material. A properly installed roof can last for up to a century with proper maintenance. It also depends on the type of stone used.

There are no other materials that come close to matching this type of durability. When installed properly, a slate roof can improve the value of a home. It is also fire and water-resistant. The best part is that you can customize the design of your roof to match the architecture of your house.

Tile Roofing

If you are planning to have tile roofing, you should ensure that your roof has the appropriate slope. This is because tiles are very heavy and require an appropriate underlying structure. The best slopes for tile roofs are from four to ten degrees. The most common underlayments are asphalt saturated, nonperforated organic felts.

An advantage of tile roofing is its beauty. This material is extremely durable and has an infinite amount of design options. If you want a roof that is both beautiful and functional, tile is a great choice.

In addition to its durability, tile can withstand a wide range of weather conditions. Whether your home is in the middle of winter or a cool, sunny summer, a tiled roof will make your home look amazing.

Composite Roofing

Composite roofs can cost more than traditional shingles, but they are still aesthetically pleasing. They can mimic the look of slate or clay roofing, and they are stronger than wood alone. These roofs don’t warp, peel, or blister, and they are also more attractive.

They also require less maintenance than other types of roofing, and some types of composite material can last for decades without much maintenance. In addition, these roof materials come in many different colors, textures, and styles, so you can easily match them to your existing architectural style. They are also a great way to give your home a green-friendly feel.

Because most of them are made of recycled plastic, they are fire- and impact-resistant. Its downside though is that it’s less wind-resistant and needs extra reinforcements to withstand heavy snow.

Cedar Shake Roofing

A cedar shake roof can last for decades. This roofing material is an excellent choice for many reasons. Among the most important benefits of a wood shake roof are its unique appearance and natural beauty. While these roofs are durable, they don’t last forever. Proper maintenance is necessary to keep them looking beautiful.

A cedar shake roof is an elegant and regal addition to any property. Not only does it offer a high level of protection, but it also has an attractive look that makes it ideal for homes and buildings with unique styles.

Cedar shake roofs are very durable. However, they can’t withstand excessive damage or missing shakes. That’s why regular maintenance is essential. Once a cedar shake roof is installed, you’ll have to apply new coatings and treatments every year or so to protect it. You should also check the roof periodically for leaks to ensure that there isn’t anything underneath it. You may have to replace the entire roof with a new one if the shakes are damaged or missing.

A cedar shake is made of thicker wood than a cedar shingle. This means that it offers more variety in terms of appearance. It’s also more resistant to heat, ultraviolet light, and shade. It’s a durable choice for a roof. Its distinctive cut and natural beauty will give your home a unique and personal touch.

Our Guttering Services

We do not only provide roofing services, we also offer guttering services which include gutter installation, replacement, and repair for residential and commercial properties. We also work with various types of guttering materials like copper, galvanized, and seamless gutters.

Don’t ignore the importance of gutters on your home or building. They are an important part of your roof’s protection. They keep your home free from water and prevent pests from entering your attic.

Whether you live in an older home or a newer one, gutters need to be cleaned regularly to keep your home free of debris. Clogged gutters aren’t an attractive addition to your home and do little to help direct water away from your foundation. If water is allowed to spill over the sides of your gutters, it can damage your house’s foundation.

Our Skylights Services

Aside from roofing services, we also offer skylight installation and repair services.

A skylight is a great choice for many reasons. It will add natural light to your home and protect it from the elements, while increasing the value of your home. It’s also great for a business, as it can increase productivity and lower electric bills. It’s not just the cost that matters when choosing skylights. There are several other reasons to opt for a skylight, from structural and aesthetic factors to security issues.

If you want a skylight that is aesthetically pleasing, consider a raised design. A raised skylight keeps leaves and water out and provides more natural light in a home. Depending on the location of your skylight, you may also want to consider a retractable skylight. This will allow you to enjoy your outdoor space all year round. Not only can they improve the appearance of a building, but they can improve the mood of the entire building.
