Replacement & Installation
New Roof Installation
New construction, additions and dormers — roofing systems specified and installed to last decades.
Building new, adding a dormer, extending the back of the house or finishing a garage? The new roof has to integrate with what is already there — and in Chicago that usually means tying a new pitched section into an existing flat roof, or matching a hundred-year-old roofline.
We offer a full range of residential and commercial roofing services, including new roof installation. We coordinate with your general contractor, pull the necessary permits, and build to current Chicago and Illinois code.
What Separates a Good Installation From a Cheap One
Almost anyone can nail down shingles. What determines whether a roof reaches its rated life is everything you cannot see once the job is finished.
- Correct nail placement and count — high nails and overdriven nails are the number one cause of premature blow-off
- Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys and every penetration, which Chicago winters make essential
- New flashing at every wall, chimney and pipe rather than reusing corroded metal
- Manufacturer starter course and hip-and-ridge products, not cut-up field shingles
- Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation sized to your actual attic
- Drip edge at eaves and rakes, installed in the correct order relative to the underlayment
- Proper transitions where a new pitched section meets an existing flat roof
Materials We Install
We work with the most common and durable materials, and we can advise you on the best material for your specific project and budget.
- Asphalt shingles — architectural and three-tab, the default for most Chicago homes
- Metal roofing — standing seam and corrugated, the longest-lasting sloped option
- Wood shakes — for period-appropriate restoration where the look matters
- Flat roofing systems — EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen and built-up, for commercial and low-slope work

Answers
New Roof Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We handle permitting with the City of Chicago or the appropriate suburban building department and schedule the required inspections.
In most cases yes, provided the original material is still manufactured. Where an exact match is unavailable we will show you options — a complementary profile, or re-roofing the most visible slope so the transition is not obvious from the street.
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles give the best balance of cost and performance. If budget allows and you plan to stay, standing seam metal is the longest-lasting option and sheds snow far better. For flat and low-slope sections, a single-ply membrane or modified bitumen system.
