Roof Replacement in Chicago

Roof Replacement in Chicago, IL.

A full roof replacement is the biggest exterior project most Chicago homeowners take on, so it pays to hire a proven roofing company, not a passing storm-chaser. In 2026 a new asphalt-shingle roof here runs about $9,000–$24,000, and standing-seam metal $17,000–$43,000, depending on size, pitch, and tear-off. Given Chicago's snow and wind, impact-resistant and architectural shingles are popular choices that can lower insurance premiums. Whether you need residential roofing on a single-family home or a full re-roof after storm damage, we match you with vetted, warranty-backed Chicago roofers — free.

Roof Replacement in Chicago

How Chicago roof replacement works.

Every Chicago pro we match you with is licensed, insured, and warranty-backed. Here's what a good job looks like.

Tear off the old roof

Your pros strip the worn roof down to the deck so the new one sits on a clean, solid base.

Fix the wood underneath

They replace any soft or rotten decking. A strong roof starts with a strong base — no shortcuts.

New water barrier

Fresh underlayment and flashing seal the weak spots and keep the leaks out for years.

Clean up and haul away

They sweep for nails, haul off the old roof, and leave your yard clean.

Roofing in Chicago

What's local about a Chicago roof.

Chicago earns its windy city name, with hard lake winds and heavy lake-effect snow. Roofs here take deep cold, ice, and strong gusts all winter.

Main threat Snow and wind
Busiest window After winter, spring thaw
Areas covered Naperville, Aurora, Evanston, Schaumburg, Oak Park, and the Chicago metro area

High wind lifts and peels shingles and drives rain under the edges, so Chicago roofs need tight fastening, sealed flashing, and code-level wind ratings.
