About Roof Replacement

Need a new roof? Taurus Roofing specializes in roof replacement throughout Chicagoland. We've replaced over 400 roofs across Tinley Park, Orland Park, Frankfort, and surrounding communities since 2004. When your roof reaches the end of its serviceable life, we make the replacement process straightforward and stress-free.

When Does Roof Replacement Make Sense?

Roof replacement makes sense when repairs become too frequent, when your roof is 20+ years old, or when storm damage is extensive. A new roof protects your home, improves energy efficiency, and adds significant value if you're planning to sell. Buyers in Orland Park, Frankfort, and throughout Chicagoland specifically look for homes with newer roofs because they know the cost of replacement.

Other signs that point toward replacement rather than repair:

- Multiple areas showing damage simultaneously - Shingles curling, cracking, or losing granules across the entire roof - Repairs costing more than 30-40% of replacement cost - Recurring leaks despite previous repairs - Visible sagging or structural concerns - Your roof has already been repaired multiple times - Granules heavily accumulated in gutters (indicates end of life)

Chicago-Specific Challenges Your New Roof Must Handle

Chicago's climate puts roofs to the test. Your new roof must withstand:

Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Water enters tiny cracks, freezes overnight, expands, and widens damage. This happens dozens of times each winter across Cook County and Will County.

Hailstorms: The Chicago region experiences frequent hail events. Premium shingles with Class 4 impact ratings resist hail damage better than standard products.

Lake-Effect Snow: Heavy snow loads stress roof structures. Proper ventilation prevents ice dams that form when heat escapes and melts snow unevenly.

Summer Heat and UV: Intense summer sun degrades roofing materials over time. Quality shingles with algae-resistant granules maintain appearance longer.

High Winds: Straight-line winds and occasional tornadoes tear at shingles. Modern architectural shingles with 130-mph wind ratings resist uplift.

Our Roof Replacement Process:

Step 1: Free Inspection

A certified inspector (not a salesperson) examines your roof and attic. We photograph any damage and explain our findings in plain language. If repairs make more sense than replacement, we'll tell you honestly. We've sent many homeowners away with the good news that their roof has years of life remaining.

Step 2: Written Estimate

You receive a detailed proposal within 24 hours. We specify materials, labor, timeline, and what happens if we find hidden damage under the shingles. No surprises, no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay unless we find rotted decking (which we show you before repairing and billing).

Step 3: Material Selection

We bring actual shingle samples to your home so you can see colors against your siding, trim, and landscaping in natural light. Computer screens and brochures don't capture how a shingle color looks against your specific home. Choose from architectural shingles (most popular), designer shingles (for premium aesthetics), or metal roofing (for maximum longevity).

Step 4: Installation

Our crew arrives at 7 AM with a dump trailer for debris, magnetic nail sweepers, and tarps to protect your landscaping and walkways. We tear off the old roof down to the decking, inspecting every board. Any soft or rotted decking gets replaced (you approve the cost before we proceed). We install ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations, then synthetic underlayment across the entire deck. Finally, we install your new shingles, flashing, ridge vents, and pipe boots. Most homes in Tinley Park, Mokena, and Homer Glen complete in one day.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough

You inspect the completed work with our foreman. We show you the new ventilation system, verify all flashing is properly sealed, and hand over your warranty documents. Then we run a magnetic sweeper across your lawn, driveway, and landscaping three times to collect any stray nails. Your property is left cleaner than we found it.

Materials We Install:

GAF Timberline HDZ: 130-mph wind warranty, Class 4 impact rating, 50-year limited warranty. This is the most popular choice for Chicagoland homes. As GAF Master Elite contractors (top 2% of roofers nationally), we offer enhanced warranty coverage.

Owens Corning Duration: Excellent wind resistance, authentic dimensional look that mimics wood shakes, industry-leading warranty. Popular in neighborhoods with specific aesthetic requirements.

CertainTeed Landmark: Wide color selection with 23 colors available, proven durability in harsh climates, strong warranty protection. Good choice when color matching is important.

Metal Roofing: Standing seam and exposed fastener options. Metal lasts 40-70 years with minimal maintenance, handles hail and snow load excellently, and reduces energy costs. Ideal for homeowners planning to stay long-term.

What Does Roof Replacement Cost in Chicagoland?

For an average 2,000 square foot home in Chicagoland, expect $8,000-15,000 depending on material choice, roof complexity (number of valleys, pitch, penetrations), and any decking repairs needed. Homes in Orland Park, Frankfort, and similar areas with larger footprints and complex roof lines typically run $12,000-20,000.

We provide exact pricing before work begins, no surprises. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow much does roof replacement cost?

Roof replacement for an average Chicagoland home costs $8,000-15,000. Price depends on roof size, material choice, pitch, and any decking repairs. We provide exact written estimates before starting work.

QHow long does roof replacement take?

Most roof replacements take 1-2 days. Larger homes or complex roof lines may take 3 days. We complete tearoff, installation, and cleanup in a single visit when possible.

QShould I repair or replace my roof?

If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is limited to one area, repair usually makes sense. If it's 20+ years old, showing widespread wear, or requiring frequent repairs, replacement is typically the better investment.

QWhat warranty comes with a new roof?

You receive both a manufacturer warranty (25-50 years depending on product) and our 10-year workmanship warranty. As certified installers, we can offer enhanced manufacturer warranties not available from standard contractors.

QDo you handle the old roof disposal?

Yes. We include complete tearoff, debris removal, and dump fees in our estimates. We bring our own dumpster and haul everything away. Your property is left clean.
