FAQs
What roofing materials perform best in Belvidere’s weather conditions?
For most Belvidere homes we recommend architectural asphalt shingles or standing-seam metal. Architectural shingles carry a 110–130 mph wind rating, shed snow well, and are cost-effective. Metal roofs cost more up-front but last 50+ years, reflect summer heat, and easily shed heavy snow and ice that northern Illinois often sees. We also install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys to protect against wind-driven rain and freeze–thaw cycles common in Boone County.
How long will my roof replacement take?
An average 2,000–3,000 sq ft Belvidere home is usually completed in one to three working days: Day 1—tear-off and dry-in; Day 2—shingle or panel installation; Day 3—detail work and cleanup if needed. Complex rooflines, decking replacement, specialty materials, or weather delays can add time, but we give you a written schedule before we start and keep you updated each day.
Is roof damage covered by my homeowner’s insurance?
Insurance typically pays for sudden, accidental events such as hail, wind, or falling branches. Age-related wear or improper maintenance is normally excluded. After a storm we provide a free inspection, photo documentation, and can meet your adjuster on-site. Once the claim is approved we handle all repair or replacement work for the insurance settlement amount plus your deductible, with no surprises.
How can I tell whether I need a repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include shingles that curl, crack, or blow off; granules collecting in gutters; leaks or stains on ceilings; sagging decking; and energy bills that keep rising. If the roof is 20–25 years old or has multiple layers it is often more cost-effective to replace it entirely. We’ll perform a no-cost inspection, show you detailed photos, and provide side-by-side estimates so you can make an informed choice.
What kind of warranties do you provide?
Most of our shingle manufacturers offer 30-year to limited lifetime warranties against material defects. Because we are factory-certified, many of those warranties are automatically upgraded to include 15–25 years of non-prorated coverage on labor and disposal. On top of that, Roofing Done Right supplies a 10-year workmanship guarantee that is fully transferable if you sell your Belvidere home—so you’re covered from every angle.
How do you keep my property clean and safe during the roofing project?
Before tear-off we cover landscaping, AC units, and walkways with tarps and plywood. Our crews use OSHA-approved fall-protection and daily debris chutes to keep nails and shingles out of your yard. At the end of each day we run magnetic sweepers, haul away trash, and perform a final walk-through with you when the job is complete. If we miss even a single nail, call us and we’ll come back the same day.
