OAK PARK, IL

Roofing Contractors in Oak Park, IL

An Oak Park roof permit asks for more than most villages nearby, and a home in a historic district needs approval before the material changes. We do that paperwork, then we do the roof. The written inspection costs you nothing.

What an Oak Park roof actually needs

Deep eaves, big Victorians and flat rear additions. Very few roofs here are a simple square.

Prairie and Foursquare tear offs

Wide overhangs, low pitches and long eave runs. Roofs like these take more ice barrier and more flashing than the square footage suggests. We measure the detail, not just the area.

Flat and low slope sections

Rear additions and porch roofs on these houses need membrane rather than shingle. Oak Park treats a flat roof replacement the same as a sloped one, so both go on the permit. We install both and detail the joint where they meet.

Storm and hail claims

HAAG certified inspectors, photographs, and findings on paper you can file with the insurer. On a disputed claim we work alongside Proliance Public Adjusting.

The 24 inch ice barrier, priced properly

Oak Park wants the ice barrier to run from the bottom edge of the roof to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. On a house with deep overhangs, that band is wider than one course of membrane covers. A bid priced off the bare minimum ends up short on material or short on coverage, and the difference shows up mid job. We measure from your eave to your wall line and price the real number. A Village inspector signs the permit off at the end, and we book that visit.

We get the historic approval first

In an Oak Park historic district, a contributing home needs Historic Preservation Commission approval before the roofing material changes. We put the product details and samples in front of the Commission and wait for the answer. Material is ordered after approval, never before.

Your contract goes in with the permit

Oak Park wants the roofer’s written contract filed with the application, carrying their Illinois licence number. A one line bid scribbled at the kitchen table will not clear that counter. Ours is written to be filed.

We draw the roof plan for you

The application needs a sketch or plat marking every vent, penetration, electric service line, solar array and slope. We draw it and we file it. You never touch it.
