What affects the price

Several things change the final bill when you replace a roof. The total area of your home is the biggest factor, followed by the specific materials you choose, like asphalt shingles versus metal or tile. We also look at the pitch or slope of your roof and how many layers of old material need to be pulled off before we start. If there is hidden wood rot or damaged decking underneath, that adds to the labor and supplies required.

Frequently asked in Chicago

How much do roof installers charge in Chicago?

What are the best metal roof panels for this climate?

For Chicago's climate, durable metal roof panels are a great choice. Standing seam metal roofs are particularly effective against heavy snow and wind. They offer excellent longevity and resistance to the elements. Materials like steel or aluminum are common. Consider panels with a good warranty and a finish that can withstand temperature extremes. The pros can guide you on the best options.

What should I know about roofing tar?

Roofing tar, or asphalt-based sealant, is used to patch small holes or seal seams. It's a common material for temporary repairs or sealing flashing. However, it can become brittle over time and may not be the best long-term solution for larger issues. Modern sealants and roofing materials offer more durable performance. The pros will use the most appropriate materials for your specific repair needs.
