FAQs
How do I know my Andersonville home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Some warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing in multiple sections, frequent attic leaks, granules collecting in gutters, and visible sagging of the roof deck. Because Chicago’s lake-effect weather accelerates wear, roofs over 20 years old in Andersonville often benefit more from full replacement than piecemeal repairs. Our inspectors perform a free, no-obligation assessment with photos, moisture readings, and a lifespan report so you can make an informed decision.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Andersonville’s climate, and why?
We typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles or standing-seam metal. Architectural shingles withstand wind gusts up to 130 mph, shed lake-effect snow efficiently, and come in colors that complement the historic Andersonville aesthetic. Standing-seam metal lasts 40–70 years, reflects summer heat, and sheds ice faster, reducing ice-dam risk. Both options are rated Class A for fire resistance and meet Chicago building codes.
How long will my roof replacement take, and how will you protect my property?
Most Andersonville single-family homes or two-flats take 1–2 days from tear-off to final cleanup, weather permitting. Larger or historic properties may take 3–4 days. We install tarps from gutter to ground, cover landscaping with plywood sheets, and use magnet rollers to collect nails each evening. Daily progress updates are sent via text or email so you always know our schedule.
What is included in your “time-tested craftsmanship” promise?
Our crews average 15 years of experience and follow protocols refined over three decades: hand-nailing or pneumatic nailing to manufacturer specification, ice-and-water shield 6 ft. up from the eaves, synthetic underlayment on the remaining deck, and full ventilation balancing. Every project is overseen by a dedicated site foreman and passes a 25-point final inspection that we document with photos for your records.
Can you assist with insurance claims or financing for my roof replacement?
Yes. If hail or wind damage is involved, our licensed adjuster meets the insurance inspector on-site, provides documentation, and negotiates on your behalf. For out-of-pocket projects, we offer 0% same-as-cash plans for 12 months or low-interest terms up to 10 years through our partner lenders. We also accept historic preservation grants applicable to qualifying Andersonville properties.
What kind of warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
You receive a 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty (non-prorated for the first 25 years) and our own 15-year workmanship warranty, transferable once if you sell your home. We perform a complimentary inspection after the first winter freeze-thaw cycle and send annual maintenance reminders. Should any issue arise, our service team responds within 48 hours to address leaks or warranty concerns.
