Shingle Roofing Questions

How long does a shingle roof last in Chicago?

A well installed architectural shingle roof usually lasts 20 to 30 years in Chicago. Ventilation, proper flashing and how the roof handles freeze and thaw cycles make the biggest difference.

Which shingle brand do you install?

We install quality architectural shingles, including Owens Corning. We'll walk you through the options and colors before your project starts.

Can you replace damaged plywood?

Yes. Once the old roof is off, we check the decking and replace any soft or rotted plywood before anything new goes down. We photograph what we find so you can see it too.

Can I change my roof color?

Yes. A replacement is the perfect time to change it. We'll go over color options with you before the job is scheduled.

Do you provide a workmanship warranty?

Yes. Every roof comes with our workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer's warranty on materials. We go over the details with you before you sign.
