Chicago Roofing Contractors Built For Chicago Weather

Most Chicago single-family asphalt shingle roofs run $12,000–$22,000 depending on size, pitch, and tear-off layers. Two-flat flat roofs typically run $14,000–$28,000. Metal and slate are higher. We provide free written estimates with line-item pricing.

Architectural asphalt shingle: 22–28 years installed correctly. Standing-seam metal: 50+ years. Flat roofs (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen): 18–30 years depending on system and maintenance. Chicago's freeze-thaw cycle is hard on roofs, so installation quality matters more here than in milder climates.

Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line is staffed year-round. We typically have a tarping crew on-site within 2–6 hours of a call during active storm events.

Most replacements start within 1–3 weeks of contract. Emergency repairs same day. Insurance claim projects depend on adjuster timing.

Architectural asphalt shingles remain the best value for pitched residential roofs. Standing-seam metal is the premium choice. For flat roofs, EPDM rubber and TPO are the two most common and proven systems in our climate.

Chicago's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal — heat from the attic melts snow, which refreezes at the cold eave, building ice that dams water back under shingles. The permanent fix is balanced attic ventilation and ice-and-water shield up the eave during replacement.

Yes. We service commercial properties from 2,000 to 200,000+ square feet across Chicago, including portfolio service for property management companies.

Often, yes — if the roof has remaining life and the leak source is isolated. We diagnose first, then recommend repair or replacement honestly.

Most two-flats have flat roofs and benefit from EPDM rubber or modified bitumen, with tapered insulation to fix any ponding from settled framing. We've done hundreds of two-flat roofs across the city.
