Chicago's Roofing Company — Built for the Windy City

Chicago roofs take a beating that most homeowners across the country never have to think about. Lake Michigan drives brutal winter wind chills, lake-effect snow, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles that crack shingles, split flashing, and collapse aging flat roofs. Add powerful spring hailstorms and summer heat expansion, and you have one of the most demanding roofing environments in the country.

Illinois Roofing Co. has spent over 15 years protecting Chicago rooftops — from the two-flats of Logan Square and the greystones of Bridgeport to the brick bungalows of Beverly and the modern homes of Lincoln Park. We understand Chicago roofing architecture, City of Chicago permit requirements, and exactly how this city's climate attacks each type of roof.

We provide free written estimates, full insurance claim assistance, and stand behind every job with a workmanship warranty.

Local Knowledge

We Know Chicago Roofs

Chicago's 77 community areas span a huge range of housing stock — and each type of building comes with its own roofing challenges. The classic Chicago bungalow has a low-pitched asphalt shingle roof that's vulnerable to ice dam formation and granule loss. The vintage two-flat or three-flat typically has a flat or low-slope membrane roof that requires regular maintenance and eventual full replacement. The greystone rowhouse deals with parapet wall leaks and flashing failures specific to its masonry construction.

We've worked in every Chicago neighborhood and understand what each building type needs. That knowledge saves our customers time, money, and repeat service calls from contractors who treat every roof the same way.

Customer Reviews

What Chicago Homeowners Say

★★★★★

"Our vintage three-flat in Logan Square had a flat roof that had been patched so many times it was beyond repair. Illinois Roofing Co. gave us an honest assessment, quoted a full TPO replacement, and completed it in one day — cleaner than we expected. No mess left behind whatsoever."

— Melissa & Aaron J. · Logan Square, Chicago
★★★★★

"We had water coming in through the ceiling of our bungalow after every major rain. Two other contractors couldn't find the source. Illinois Roofing identified a chimney flashing failure within the first 20 minutes. Fixed same week, zero issues since. Worth every penny."

— Thomas R. · Beverly, Chicago
★★★★★

"After a bad hailstorm hit our neighborhood in Lakeview, I called four roofers. Illinois Roofing Co. was the only one who walked me through the claims process clearly, filed everything correctly with my insurer, and didn't try to upsell me. Full replacement done, insurance covered most of it."

— Sarah K. · Lakeview, Chicago
FAQ

Chicago Roofing Questions

How much does roof replacement cost in Chicago?
Cost depends heavily on your building type and roof system. A standard Chicago bungalow asphalt shingle replacement typically runs $9,000–$18,000. Flat roof replacement with TPO or EPDM on a two-flat or three-flat is usually priced by square foot and ranges from $6,000–$20,000+ depending on size, system selected, and access conditions. We provide free, detailed on-site estimates for all Chicago properties.
Do you work on Chicago two-flats, three-flats, and greystone buildings?
Yes — this is a large portion of our Chicago work. We specialize in the flat and low-slope roofing systems common to Chicago's vintage building stock: modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and built-up systems. We understand parapet walls, interior drains, and the unique leak patterns seen on these buildings.
Do you pull City of Chicago permits for roofing?
Yes. We are fully familiar with the City of Chicago Department of Buildings permit requirements and handle all applications, inspections, and compliance documentation on every full replacement project. Our customers don't have to navigate city permitting themselves.
Do you help with storm damage insurance claims in Chicago?
Yes — and we do this at no extra cost. We document all storm and hail damage with detailed photos and measurements, prepare a scope that your insurance adjuster can review, and stay in communication with your carrier through the entire process. Many Chicago homeowners leave thousands on the table by filing without proper documentation — we make sure you get the full value of your claim.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Chicago?
Yes. Illinois Roofing Co. is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform roofing work in the City of Chicago and throughout Cook County. We meet all City of Chicago contractor requirements and carry comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
