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.

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 Schaumburg Roofs Reach Replacement
Schaumburg’s roofs age out on two fronts. The residential side — subdivisions and townhome associations largely built from the 1960s through the ’80s — is now on its second-generation asphalt, and once shingles are curling and brittle across the whole roof, patching stops paying off. The commercial flat roofs around the Woodfield corridor reach the same point when their membranes and seams can no longer be patched through another Illinois winter. We replace both as full systems and fabricate the metal details for each in-house.
- 1960s–80s subdivision and townhome roofs now on end-of-life asphalt
- Woodfield-corridor flat roofs (TPO/PVC/mod-bit) past the point of patching
- Full NW-Illinois exposure — ice dams, freeze-thaw, hail, and wind — accelerating wear

FAQ
Common Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Schaumburg?
Most single-family homes are a 1–3 day job once we start, depending on size, pitch, and weather. Larger or commercial flat roofs run longer. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you posted if weather moves it.
Will you tear off the old roof or install over it?
We tear off. Laying new shingles over old ones buries deck rot and bad flashing, voids most manufacturer warranties, and never lasts. Stripping to the deck is the only way to do a replacement right.
Do you replace commercial and flat roofs in Schaumburg?
Yes. We replace TPO, PVC, and modified-bitumen flat-roof systems on Schaumburg’s retail and business properties around Woodfield, welding seams and fabricating the metal details in-house — not subcontracting the critical work.
Do you handle storm and insurance replacement claims?
Yes. We inspect, document the damage with photos, and provide the detailed written estimate your insurer needs. If your roof’s been totaled, we work off the actual damage — not a sales pitch.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Your new roof carries the material manufacturer’s warranty plus our own workmanship warranty on the installation. We spell out both in writing before we start.
