Roofing pros in Chicago and the suburbs

A local guide to hiring roofers in Chicagoland: what they do, warning signs that you need one, and how to vet a contractor before you sign anything.

Common roofing services

• Shingle repair and full roof replacement
• Storm, hail and wind damage inspections
• Gutters, flashing and ice-dam prevention
• Flat-roof membranes for bungalows and two-flats
• Skylights and attic ventilation

How to vet a roofer

1. Ask for their Illinois roofing contractor license number. Illinois licenses roofers through IDFPR, and you can look it up on the IDFPR license lookup site.
2. Get proof of liability insurance and workers' comp.
3. Get a written estimate that lists materials, tear-off, disposal and permit costs.
4. Ask who pulls the permit. Most municipalities need one for re-roofing.
5. Get the manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing.

Chicagoland roofers book up after spring hail and summer storms. Late summer and early fall usually make scheduling easier.
