Types of Residential Roofs We Install
From classic shingles to bold metal, we offer residential roofing systems that fit your home, your budget, and your vision.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular choices for Arlington Heights homeowners, and for good reason. They’re affordable, come in a variety of colors, and perform well against Illinois’ freeze-thaw cycles, spring rainstorms, and summer heat. They’re easy to maintain, and with the right install, can last 20+ years.
Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs We Install:
- Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles: Budget-friendly, easy to install, and still built to last through Chicagoland weather.
- Architectural Asphalt Shingles: A dimensional look with upgraded strength, great for curb appeal and longer roof life.
- Premium Asphalt Shingles: Top-tier style and weather resistance. These shingles hold up to the harshest Illinois elements.
- Impact-Resistant Shingles: Designed to stand up to hail and wind. Great option if you’re looking for extra durability (and possible insurance savings).
RoofMaxx Shingle Restoration
Not ready for a full replacement? RoofMaxx is a plant-based treatment that adds up to 15 years of life to your current shingles. It restores flexibility, boosts water resistance, and costs a lot less than a new roof.
- Affordable alternative to full replacement
- Eco-friendly and non-toxic
- Extends shingle life by up to 15 years
- Restores water resistance and flexibility
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is having a moment in Arlington Heights, and it’s easy to see why. It lasts 40–70 years, reflects heat in the summer, and stands up to hail, wind, and ice like a champ. And forget the “barn roof” look, today’s metal comes in styles that mimic shingles, tile, and even slate.
Types of Metal We Use:
- Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and a great pick for humid Midwest summers and snowy winters.
- Steel: Tough, reliable, and recyclable. Great against hail, snow loads, and high winds.
- Copper: Elegant and durable. Copper ages into a beautiful patina over time and lasts over 100 years.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install:
- Corrugated Metal Roofing: Wavy panels that boost drainage and hold up in tough conditions. Budget-friendly and durable.
- Standing-Seam Metal Roofing: Sleek, clean, and built to last. These vertical panels are fastened under the seams for extra leak protection.
- Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing: Simple, sturdy, and budget-conscious. Great for garages, outbuildings, or bold modern homes.
- Metal Shingles: Love the look of slate or shake but want better durability? These give you both.
Slate Roofs
Slate roofs bring natural beauty and long-lasting protection. If you want a roof that makes a statement and could outlast your mortgage, slate might be your pick.
Types of Slate Roofs We Install:
- Natural Slate: Elegant, weather-resistant, and known to last 75+ years with proper care. It’s the gold standard of roofing.
- Synthetic Slate: Lighter and easier to install than real stone, but still gives your home the upscale slate look, without the weight or price tag.
FAQs About Residential Roofing
How Long Do Residential Roofs Last in Arlington Heights, IL?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years with proper care. Metal and slate can last 50+ years. Regular inspections help extend that lifespan.
What Roofing Material Is Best for Illinois Weather?
It depends on your budget and goals. Asphalt shingles are reliable and affordable. Metal is more expensive upfront, but lasts longer and performs better in storms.
Can You Match My Current Shingle Color or Style?
Absolutely. We work with top brands and can match most style, or offer upgrades that blend in seamlessly with your existing design.
Do You Offer Financing?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options, including 0% interest for 12 months, to make your project as stress-free as possible.
What Should I Expect During a Roof Installation?
We’ll inspect your roof, give you a clear quote, help you choose materials, and handle everything, from tear-off to clean-up. You’ll stay informed every step of the way.
