FAQ

Common Questions

Roofing decisions involve permits, materials, and timing. Here are the questions we hear most.

Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Chicago? expand_more
Yes. Full roof replacements and any structural deck repairs require a City of Chicago building permit. We manage the permit application and schedule the required City inspections as part of every project contract.
Can roofing damage be covered by insurance? expand_more
Storm damage, hail damage, and wind-related failures are typically covered by standard homeowner or commercial property policies. We provide documentation of damage and repair estimates formatted for insurance adjuster review.
What type of roofing is best for Chicago's climate? expand_more
For flat roofs (common on Chicago two-flats and commercial buildings), TPO or modified bitumen membrane systems are the most durable options. For pitched roofs, high-grade architectural shingles with proper ice-and-water shield installation are recommended for freeze-thaw protection.
How long does a roof replacement take? expand_more
A standard residential shingle replacement typically runs 2 to 4 days. Flat roof replacements vary depending on square footage and membrane system. We provide a project schedule at the pre-construction meeting.
