Get In TouchRoof repair and replacement from a local roofer
Chicago Roofing Inc is not a roofing contractor. Call with the address and what the roof is doing, and the job goes to a licensed, insured roofer who already works that part of the metro and knows the housing stock on it.
That includes hearing when the roof is fine. Plenty of inspections end with no work needed and a note about what to watch, which is the answer you want when it is true.
- Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and storm damage on homes and commercial buildings
- Full tear-offs and re-roofs when the roof has reached the end of its life
- Flat roofs, gutters and emergency repairs when water is coming in
- A roofer who already works your part of the metro, from city two-flats to suburban ranches
- A written estimate with the scope priced before any work starts
- A straight answer when a repair will do instead of a replacement
From call to written price
Call
Tell us the address and what the roof is doing. A leak, missing shingles after a storm, or a roof that has reached its age.
We Connect You
We match you with a licensed and insured roofer who works your area. They do the work, not us.
The Roofer Inspects
They look at the roof, photograph what they find, and give you a written estimate with the scope priced.
You Decide
Take the estimate, get another, or sit on it. No obligation either way.
Residential Roofing Services in Chicago
Bungalow, ranch or two-flat, a licensed local roofer inspects it, photographs what’s wrong and prices the fix in writing.
Chicago-area housing runs from 1890s frame cottages and 1920s brick bungalows to postwar ranches and forty years of suburban subdivisions. Each comes with its own roof geometry and its own predictable failure points, and a good roofer scopes the job around the house that is actually there.

Roof repairs and leak detection
Pinpointing and resolving water intrusion before it causes structural or ceiling damage.
Roof replacement
Full tear-offs down to the deck, then architectural asphalt shingles laid to the manufacturer’s nailing and flashing detail.
Shingle roofing
Professional asphalt shingle installation and repair with a variety of architectural styles and colors.
Storm damage and emergency repairs
Rapid response for hail, wind, and severe weather impacts.
Roof maintenance
Preventative maintenance plans designed to extend roof lifespan and save money.
Ventilation and ice dam mitigation
Addressing the attic conditions that cause ice dams instead of only repairing the damage they leave behind.
Commercial Roofing Services in Chicago
Ponding, open seams or a failing membrane? A licensed commercial roofer inspects it and documents the condition for your budget.
Office buildings, retail, restaurants, warehouses, industrial facilities, multi-unit residential and the property managers who look after them. Work is scheduled around your operations, not the other way around.

Commercial roof repair
Remediation of ponding water, membrane seam failures, and flashing deterioration.
Commercial roof replacement
TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen low-slope replacement systems.
Flat roofing systems
Membrane installation and patching on flat commercial roofs, including seams, terminations and curb flashing.
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled evaluations to identify minor issues before expensive structural leaks occur.
Roof inspections and condition reports
Documented assessments suitable for capital planning, budgeting and property transactions.
Storm damage response
Rapid stabilization and documentation following hail, high wind and heavy snow events.
Engineered for Chicago weather
Chicago's climate puts real stress on a roof. Heavy rain, strong winds, hail, snow, ice and constant freeze-thaw cycling test roofing materials year-round, and each does its damage in a different way.
Wind & storms
Straight-line winds from summer thunderstorm complexes lift ridge caps, rake edges and the first courses above the eave, where uplift pressure is highest.
Hail
Hail bruises the mat under the granules without leaving a hole. Nothing leaks, and the roof fails in patches years later. That delay is why it gets missed.
Freeze-thaw & ice dams
Repeated freeze-thaw cycling opens mortar joints, sealant and membrane seams. Ice dams back meltwater up under shingle courses at the eave.
Heat & thermal cycling
Summer heat ages asphalt and works at low-slope seams and terminations through daily expansion and contraction.



These conditions contribute directly to roof leaks, damaged shingles, flashing failures, ice-dam water intrusion and premature deterioration. What actually prevents them is unglamorous: ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, balanced attic ventilation, correct fastener placement, and new flashing rather than reused flashing. Read the full breakdown.

Roofing questions people ask most
Straight answers on repairs, replacement, cost and coverage. There are more on the FAQ page.
View all FAQsHow do I know if my roof needs repair?
Look for missing, cracked or curling shingles, water stains on ceilings, granules collecting in the gutters, or a sagging roofline. In the attic, check for dark staining on the deck and daylight coming through. A ceiling stain is rarely under the entry point, because water runs along the deck before it drips.
Do you repair storm damage?
Yes. A roofer who handles storm work covers emergency tarping and permanent repairs after hail, wind and ice. They photograph and measure what they find, which is what you need for your records whether or not you file a claim.
When should a roof be replaced?
Asphalt shingle roofs generally last 15 to 25 years in Chicago conditions. If yours is in that bracket, needs constant repairs, or shows curling across whole slopes and leaks in new places each season, replacement usually costs less than continuing to patch. Isolated damage on a sound roof is a repair at any age.
How much does roof replacement cost?
Square footage, pitch, how many layers come off, material choice, and complexity. Valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights all add labor. Expect a written estimate after the roof is walked. Nobody should quote a replacement over the phone sight unseen, because that number is not reliable enough to plan around.
