We've compiled answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners.
Most Chicago homeowners pay between $8,300 and $29,400 for a full roof replacement, with an average around $19,000. The exact price depends on your roof's size, pitch, material, and current condition. For a typical 2,200 sq ft home, expect $12,900–$23,600 installed.
Asphalt shingle roofing typically runs $5.50–$7.00 per square foot installed in the Chicago area, or roughly $560–$765 per "square" (100 sq ft) depending on whether you choose 3-tab, architectural, or premium shingles.
If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage (a leak, missing shingles after a storm), repair is almost always cheaper and often covered by insurance. If your roof is 20+ years old, has widespread wear, or has been repaired multiple times already, full replacement is usually the better long-term value — ask for a free inspection to get a straight answer either way.
Often, yes — if the damage is from a covered event like hail or wind (common in Chicago storm season). HG Roofing Inc provides free inspections and assists with the insurance claims process to document damage properly.
Most residential roof replacements in the Chicago area are completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting, for a typical single-family home.
Metal roofing ($24,200–$46,700 installed) offers the longest lifespan (40–70 years) and handles Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow well, though asphalt shingles remain the most common choice for cost. Slate is the longest-lasting but priced accordingly ($1,700–$3,800 per square).
Most roof replacements in the City of Chicago and surrounding suburbs require a permit. HG Roofing Inc handles permitting as part of the project so homeowners don't have to navigate it themselves.
Late spring through early fall (May–October) is ideal for roofing work due to stable weather, though emergency repairs are handled year-round.
Signs include granule loss in gutters, dented or cracked shingles, dented gutters/downspouts/vents, and visible light through the attic roof deck. A free inspection after any major Chicago storm is the safest way to catch damage before it becomes a leak.
