What Chicago Roofs Have to Handle
Snow, ice, and ice dams
Illinois winters mean heavy snow, deep cold, and repeated freezing and thawing. When heat escapes through the attic, snow melts on the roof and refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams that push water under shingles. We install an ice-and-water barrier along the eaves and in valleys and check attic insulation and ventilation so the roof stays cold.
Severe storms, hail, and wind
Spring and summer thunderstorms bring hail, damaging straight-line winds, and occasional tornadoes. We install shingles to the manufacturer’s high-wind specs, seal the starter and ridge courses, and offer Class 4 impact-resistant shingle options.
Older homes and decking
Chicago has many older bungalows, two-flats, greystones, and brick homes, including many with flat or low-slope roofs, and some still have original decking or several layers of old shingles. We inspect the decking during tear-off and tell you about any repairs before we go further.
Permits
Whether a reroof needs a permit depends on the city and the scope of work. We check with the Chicago Department of Buildings and pull any permit your project requires.
Your Utility and Solar in Chicago
ComEd and solar
ComEd is the electric utility for most of Chicago. Under Illinois’s current rules, new net metering customers are credited for the supply portion of their bill, and the Illinois Shines program adds incentives through renewable energy credits. We confirm the current terms and size solar to your actual usage, often with a battery. See how the Roof + Solar Bundle works
What a Roof Replacement Costs in Chicago
Your price depends on roof size, pitch, material, ice-and-water barrier and ventilation upgrades, and the condition of the decking underneath. Estimate your roof in 60 seconds, then get an itemized quote after a free inspection.
Planning solar in the next few years?
Adding solar right after a new roof avoids paying to remove and reinstall panels later. Coordinating both through one team may save $3,000–$7,000 in duplicated labor, permitting, and scheduling. Actual savings depend on your roof, system size, and project scope. See the Roof + Solar Bundle

Chicago Roofing FAQ
How much does a roof replacement cost in Chicago?
It depends on roof size, pitch, material, and the condition of the decking. Use our roof cost calculator for a quick estimate, and we’ll give you an itemized quote after a free inspection, before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Chicago?
Whether a reroof needs a permit depends on the scope of work. We check with the Chicago Department of Buildings and pull any permit your project requires. Any permit fees are listed on your quote.
Will an impact-resistant roof lower my insurance?
Often, yes. Many insurers offer premium discounts for roofs rated UL 2218 Class 4 for impact resistance. The discount varies by insurer and policy, so ask your agent before you choose a shingle. We can quote Class 4 options side by side with standard shingles.
Can I replace my roof in winter?
It can be done in cold weather, but shingle sealing works best in milder temperatures, so timing depends on the forecast and the material. We’ll tell you honestly whether to go now or wait for a warmer stretch.
Can I add solar when I replace my roof?
Yes. Doing both together means your panels go on a brand-new roof, so you avoid paying to remove and reinstall them later. We check how your utility handles solar and size the system to your usage. See our Roof + Solar Bundle.
