Deck inspection & replacement of rotted or damaged sheathing
Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys & every penetration
Synthetic underlayment across the entire roof

Local Context
Why Hinsdale Roofs Reach Replacement
Hinsdale is a DuPage County village known for historic and architect-designed homes — slate, cedar, tile, and copper on steep, detailed rooflines, alongside large new custom builds. These are premium, long-life systems, but once specialty materials and ornate flashing have aged past repair across the roof, a full replacement in matching materials is the better value than patching indefinitely. The village’s mature tree canopy and the same Chicagoland weather — ice dams, freeze-thaw, wind, and hail — only speed that point. We replace the whole system and fabricate the metal details in-house to match the original profile.
- Historic and architect-designed homes in slate, cedar, tile, and copper reaching end of life
- Mature tree canopy and steep, detailed rooflines accelerating wear
- Chicagoland exposure: ice dams, freeze-thaw, wind, and hail

FAQ
Common Questions
Do you replace roofs in Hinsdale?
Yes — we regularly take replacement work in Hinsdale and the surrounding DuPage communities from our Arlington Heights base. Call (877) 850-5292 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Do you replace slate, cedar, and copper roofs in Hinsdale?
Yes — full-system replacement of premium materials is where our in-house fabrication matters most. We replace slate, cedar, tile, and copper and cut flashing and metal details to fit the roofline, not force off-the-shelf parts.
How long does a roof replacement take in Hinsdale?
A standard asphalt roof is often a 1–3 day job; slate, cedar, copper, and large custom rooflines take longer to do right. You’ll get a realistic timeline in your written estimate.
Will you tear off the old roof or install over it?
We tear off. On premium and historic roofs especially, laying new over old buries structural problems and never lasts. We strip to the deck, inspect the structure, and rebuild the system.
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.
