What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off.

About this service

A roofing nailer is a specialized pneumatic tool used by professionals to drive nails into shingles quickly and consistently. It allows for a secure, flush fit that keeps the shingles from blowing off in high winds. If you are planning a DIY project, keep in mind that improper use can lead to leaks if nails are driven too deep or at an angle. Professionals use these for speed and safety.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What's the best time of year to get a new roof in Chicago?

Generally, spring and fall are the most popular times for new roof installations in Chicago. This is because the weather is milder, making it easier for roofing pros to work. Many homeowners prefer to get the work done before the intense heat of summer or the freezing cold of winter sets in. Waiting for these seasons can mean longer wait times for appointments. So, getting a quote now could secure your spot sooner.

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement in Chicago?

What kind of roofing nails should I be aware of for Chicago homes?

The type of roofing nails used is critical for durability in Chicago's climate. Professionals typically use hot-dipped galvanized nails to prevent rust, especially with our humidity and rain. These nails are designed to hold shingles securely through strong winds and temperature changes. The length and gauge of the nail also matter for proper adhesion. The crew that comes out will use the correct fasteners for your roof.

What are the most common roofing materials for Chicago houses?

Are there specific roof shingles to avoid for Chicago weather?

While most quality shingles perform well, it's wise to avoid extremely lightweight or unrated shingles in Chicago. Our strong winds can lift and damage less robust options. Look for shingles with good wind resistance ratings. Architectural or dimensional shingles offer better durability and appearance than basic 3-tab styles. Discuss your options with the pros for your specific home.
