FAQs
What signs indicate that I need a full roof makeover rather than a simple repair?
Persistent leaks, curling or missing shingles, granule loss that exposes the shingle mat, sagging roof decking, interior water stains, and roofs that are 20+ years old typically justify a full replacement. In Rockford’s freeze-thaw climate, these issues can accelerate, so an inspection by a certified roofer is the safest way to determine whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
How much does a roof replacement usually cost in Rockford?
Costs vary with material, roof size, pitch, and any decking or structural repairs that may be needed. Asphalt shingle makeovers average $9,000–$15,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home in Rockford. Architectural shingles, metal, or synthetic products can range from $14,000 up to $30,000+. We provide free, itemized estimates so you understand labor, disposal, permits, and material costs before work begins.
Which roofing materials perform best in Rockford’s climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles are popular for their affordability and wind resistance. Stone-coated steel offers superior lifespan and performs well under hail and heavy snow loads. Synthetic composite shakes provide the look of cedar but resist moisture and insects. All materials we install carry UL Class A fire ratings and meet Illinois Energy Code requirements.
How long will my roof be exposed during the makeover process?
Most single-family roofs are torn off and dried-in (underlayment installed) the same day, so your attic is never left open overnight. A complete makeover generally takes 1–3 days for asphalt shingles and 3–5 days for metal or specialty systems, weather permitting. We monitor forecasts closely and secure tarps if unexpected rain or high winds arise.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm or hail damage?
Yes. We perform a free storm-damage inspection, document findings with photos, and meet with your adjuster to ensure damage is properly assessed. We then provide a detailed scope of repairs that complies with your carrier’s estimating software, minimizing out-of-pocket costs beyond your deductible.
What warranties and maintenance options do you offer after installation?
All makeovers come with a 10-year workmanship warranty from our company plus the manufacturer’s material warranty—30-50 years for architectural shingles and lifetime for metal or synthetic options. We also offer annual maintenance plans that include gutter cleaning, sealant touch-ups, and a full roof checkup to preserve your warranty coverage and extend service life.
