What's Included

What a Complete Roof Replacement Includes

A real replacement isn’t new shingles laid over old problems. We strip the roof down to the deck, inspect and repair the structure underneath, and rebuild the whole system — so you’re not paying to bury rot, bad ventilation, or failed flashing for the next crew to find.

Full tear-off and haul-away of the existing roof

Deck inspection & replacement of rotted or damaged sheathing

Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys & every penetration

Synthetic underlayment across the entire roof

New flashing, drip edge & in-house-fabricated metal details

Properly sized intake/exhaust ventilation (ridge vent)

Your chosen roofing material, installed to manufacturer spec

Full cleanup with magnetic nail sweep & debris haul-away

Materials

Roofing Materials We Install

From architectural asphalt to premium metal, slate, and cedar, we install and fabricate the full range — and we’ll help you weigh cost, lifespan, and the look that fits your home and block.

Local Context

Why Barrington Roofs Reach Replacement

Barrington’s large-lot estates and custom homes — many out through Barrington Hills’ equestrian properties — carry steep, multi-gabled rooflines in slate, cedar, and standing-seam metal rather than basic shingle. These are long-life systems, but when slate spalls, cedar weathers through, or a metal roof’s panels and seams fail across the expanse, a full replacement in matching materials is the better value than repair after repair. The same NW-Illinois beating we work in every day — ice dams, freeze-thaw, heavy snow load, and hail — drives them there. We replace the whole system and fabricate the metal to fit the roof.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do you replace slate, cedar, and standing-seam metal roofs in Barrington?

Yes — steep pitches, multiple valleys, and premium materials are where our in-house fabrication matters most. We replace slate, cedar, and standing-seam metal and cut every detail to fit the roofline, not force off-the-shelf parts.

How long does a roof replacement take in Barrington?

A standard asphalt roof is often a 1–3 day job, but large estate roofs in slate, cedar, or metal take longer to do right. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.

Will you tear off the old roof or install over it?

We tear off. On steep estate roofs especially, laying new over old hides structural problems and never lasts. We strip to the deck, inspect the structure, and rebuild the system.

What does a new roof cost in Barrington?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material, and what we find on the deck once we tear off. Premium materials cost more up front and last far longer; we walk you through the options and give a detailed written estimate.

What warranty comes with a new roof?

Your new roof carries the material manufacturer’s warranty plus our own workmanship warranty on the install. We spell out both in writing before we start.
