What to ask before you hire a roofer
- Verify the state license: Illinois requires roofing contractors to hold a state roofing license, regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Licensed roofers must show their license number on bids, contracts, and advertising — look it up free on the IDFPR license lookup.
- Ask for proof of insurance: a legitimate contractor carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Ask to see current certificates before anyone climbs onto your roof.
- Get written, itemized estimates: several companies above offer free estimates or inspections. Compare at least two quotes that spell out materials, labor, tear-off, and cleanup.
- Storm damage: after hail or high wind, document damage with dated photos before anything is touched, then call your insurer promptly. Multiple local roofers offer insurance claims assistance — ask exactly what they do and what they charge for it.
- Winter weather: ice dams from snow and freezing temperatures are a known roof problem in the Chicago suburbs. Ask prospective roofers about attic ventilation and ice-and-water shield underlayment for your roof.
- Warranties in writing: ask what the workmanship warranty covers, how long it runs, and whether the manufacturer backs the materials — and get both in the contract, not just verbally.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof last in Illinois weather?
Basic 3-tab asphalt shingles typically last about 15–20 years, while thicker architectural (dimensional) shingles usually last 20–30 years. In the Chicago suburbs, hail, high winds, and freeze–thaw cycles can shorten that range, while good attic ventilation, quality installation, and regular maintenance help a roof reach its full lifespan.
What are the signs I need a new roof instead of just a repair?
Common replacement signals include missing, curling, or cracked shingles; granules collecting in the gutters; water stains on ceilings or walls inside the home; and any visible sagging in the roof deck. A single small leak or a few damaged shingles can often be repaired, but widespread wear across the whole roof usually means replacement is the better value.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most residential re-roofs on a typical single-family home are finished in one to three days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, extensive decking repairs, or material delays can extend that timeline — one local company lists a 3–5 day average job completion on its website.
How do I check a roofer's license in Illinois?
Illinois requires roofing contractors to hold a state roofing license, issued and regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can verify any contractor's license status through the IDFPR's free online license lookup by searching the business name or license number.
Will my homeowners insurance cover roof damage from a storm?
Homeowners policies generally cover sudden damage from hail, wind, and fallen trees, minus your deductible — but they typically do not cover wear and tear or age-related deterioration. If you suspect storm damage, document it with photos, call your insurer promptly, and get an inspection; several local roofers assist homeowners with the insurance claims process.
