FAQs
How can I tell if my Robbins home’s roof is weather-worn and needs repair or replacement?
Look for curling or missing shingles, dark or “bald” spots where granules have worn off, visible sagging, moss or algae streaks, persistent leaks after storms, and excessive shingle debris in gutters. If your roof is 15–20 years old or more, those symptoms usually signal that professional inspection is needed. We offer free, no-obligation roof assessments in Robbins to pinpoint whether a repair will suffice or a full replacement is the safer, longer-lasting option.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Robbins’ climate, and why?
Robbins experiences hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional hail, so we recommend: • Architectural asphalt shingles for cost-effective durability and wind ratings up to 130 mph. • Metal roofing (standing seam or stone-coated steel) for superior hail resistance, energy efficiency, and 40–70-year life spans. • Impact-rated synthetic slate or shake for homeowners wanting premium aesthetics with lower weight than natural slate. All options we install carry algae-resistant coatings and meet local building codes for wind uplift and fire safety.
How long will a complete roof replacement take once the project starts?
Most single-family homes in Robbins are finished in 1–3 working days. Day 1 covers tear-off and structural inspection; Day 2 (and possibly Day 3 for larger or steeper roofs) involves installing underlayment, flashing, shingles or panels, and final cleanup. Permitting and material delivery are scheduled in advance so there’s minimal downtime. Weather can extend timelines, but we monitor forecasts and keep you updated daily.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm or weather-related roof damage?
In many cases, yes. Standard policies typically cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or falling debris, minus your deductible. Age-related wear and tear is usually excluded. After a storm, we can document damage with photos, provide a detailed inspection report, and meet your adjuster on-site to help you navigate the claim process. If your claim is approved, you’ll only be responsible for the deductible and any policy-excluded upgrades you choose.
Do you offer warranties or guarantees on your roofing work?
Absolutely. Every roof we install comes with a written 10-year workmanship warranty covering labor and installation errors. In addition, the manufacturer’s material warranty ranges from 25-50 years on asphalt shingles to lifetime coverage on metal and synthetic products when installed to spec. We are fully licensed and insured in Illinois, so your roof—and your investment—remain protected long after the job is done.
How should I prepare my property before the roofing crew arrives?
1. Remove fragile wall décor and light fixtures; hammering can cause vibrations. 2. Clear driveway and move vehicles so our dump trailer and material delivery truck have room. 3. Mow the lawn; short grass makes stray nails easier to spot during magnet sweep cleanup. 4. Cover or relocate items stored in the attic to guard against dust or debris. 5. Protect outdoor furniture, grills, and potted plants or ask our crew to move them temporarily. We’ll tarp landscaping, use protective plywood over delicate shrubs, and perform a full magnetic nail sweep so your yard is as tidy as we found it.
