Get Sheltered with Reliable Residential Roof Installation

When it comes to residential roof installation, it is absolutely vital to ensure that everything is done right from start to finish by an Illinois licensed roofing company to produce a successful and long-lasting new roof.

Your roof is one of the most important structural components of your home. It not only provides shelter and protection from the elements, but also plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetics and resale value of your property.

Don’t settle for anything less than 5-star service backed by a 5-year guarantee.

 

How do I know if A roof installation Is The Right Service For Me?

Your original roof is approaching 15 years of age or more.

The roof leaks during heavy rainfalls.

A significant number of shingles are damaged or even missing.

The roof is extensively damaged by mold, cracks, and holes.

The first two are easy for homeowners to determine. But short of climbing up a ladder, how would you know if your roof is sufficiently damaged, worn, or just plain too old to warrant residential roof installation?

Every Roof Install Starts With An Inspection

This is why we always recommend regular roof inspections every three to five years. A trained and experienced Elevated roofer looks for missing shingles, pooling water, cracks or holes, mildew or mold, rooting wood, and pest infestations in your roof.

Our roofing inspector also looks at the fascia, gutters, soffits, and seals around chimneys and skylights. In addition, a complete inspection looks for signs of damage not only to the roof itself but also to underlying structures, including ceilings and walls.

If you’ve recently experienced a heavy storm or severe weather conditions, you might want to consider a roof inspection at your residence sooner rather than later. The good news is that if you’ve experienced sufficient damage to warrant a new roof installation, our company is highly experienced in handling storm damage insurance claims.

Residential Roof Installation Steps

Get Estimate. Before even starting the roof installation process, we must perform an inspection to see if that is your best route to go. Our company will provide you with a detailed estimate that outlines the cost of materials, labor, available options, any additional services needed, and the project timeline. It is crucial for us to provide you with a clear understanding of the overall cost and scope of work involved to avoid any surprises later on.

Select Roofing Shingles. In addition to compatibility with your home’s architectural style, new roofing materials are selected for their durability and energy efficiency. We only use roofing products from CertainTeed. You can be assured that you’re getting the best products and residential materials available. They offer the broadest range of color and style choices, which makes it easy to find something that suits your roofing project. More importantly, you can rest assured knowing you receive quality materials with a best-in-class warranty program that promises excellent satisfaction.

Prepare the Roof. Proper preparation is key to a successful roof installation. This includes removing the old roofing materials, inspecting the underlying structure for any damage, and making necessary repairs if needed. Ensuring a clean and solid foundation helps prolong the lifespan of your new roof.

Install Underlayment and Flashing. Underlayment acts as a waterproof barrier between the roofing material and the roof deck, protecting against moisture damage. Flashing also prevents water penetration around chimneys, vents, and skylights.

Install the Roofing Material. Once the underlayment and flashing are in place, it’s time to install the selected roofing material. This step requires careful attention to detail to ensure proper alignment, fastening, and ventilation.

Clean Up and Inspection. After the roof installation is complete, the work area is thoroughly cleaned and inspected again to ensure your new roof can provide optimum protection and good looks for years to come.

How long all of this takes depends on the size of your residential roof and the complexity of the installation and services we must provide.

Elevated Roofing Verified Company Reviews

Elevated Roofing did a great job on our roof. They were the only company to notice the storm damage and push us to talk to our insurance who ended up covering 99% of our roof! Matthew was very communicative and determined to do the best job he and his crew could. He was patient, informative and always looked out for any extra problems that our roof was hiding. The work his crew did is really good and our roof looks amazing now. He even was able to fix some other issues on time and help us to get a roof that will last us as long a possible. We are really thankful to him and to him for savings us thousands on our roof. Highly recommend.

Spray Polyurethane Foam (#SPF) roofing systems are the pressured and heated application of a foam composed of isocyanate and polyol.

If your existing roof is in relatively good condition, it can be applied over it, eliminating the need to tear off the current roof and dispose of it.

Because SPF roofing is self-adhering and requires minimal installation work, it is a way to both save money and reduce lead time on your #CommercialProject.

SPF roofs also provide additional insulation to help reduce your heating and cooling expenses and have the highest R-value of any #roofing material.

Green roofs are literally green, with a layer of grass and/or vegetation planted over a waterproofing membrane and drainage system. They can be extensive (thin soil and drought-tolerant plants) or intensive (deeper soil and a wider variety of plants).

#GreenRoofs provide superior insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve air quality while also enhancing building aesthetics. Green roofs are environmentally friendly and can contribute to #LEED certification.

The main disadvantage of green roofs is that they require specialized design and installation. A building must also be capable of supporting a higher weight load. Maintenance of vegetation is also more highly labor-intensive than more traditional commercial roofs.

#AsphaltShingles are manufactured by pouring hot asphalt over a fiberglass mat to form a waterproof barrier and then embedding stone granules on the top layer of the asphalt to protect it from degradation and also add color.

Shingles are made in strips and packaged in bundles.

One of the most popular roofing materials, residential and commercial, asphalt shingles are available in a variety of styles, with premium asphalt shingles offering 50-year warranties.

Note that these warranties are dependent on the quality of installation by a professional and certified #RoofingInstaller.

Asphalt shingles are particularly popular for commercial buildings with a “residential look,” frequently seen with doctor’s and general business offices, and particularly with buildings with peak steep slope roofs.

They not only look good, asphalt shingles can mimic various styles of roofing (e.g., wood shake, tile, or slate) when a building needs to integrate its appearance with existing structures.

An additional benefit is asphalt shingles can be installed over an existing shingle roof, saving the cost of tearing off old roofing.

EPDM (ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE TERPOLYMER) ROOFS

#EPDM is also fully adhered #SyntheticRubber. A primary difference between an EPDM rubber roof and a TPO #RubberRoof is how the membrane seals are adhered together; EPDM uses seam tape; TPO melts the seams.

EPDM is also widely used in low-slope or flat-roof buildings; it is 100% waterproof and highly resistant to severe weather such as high wind and hail storms. This is because EPDM consists of four layers.

EPDM typically comes in three thicknesses, 45 mil, 60 mil, and 90 mil. The higher the thickness, the more resistant to damage.

Which to choose depends upon an evaluation of the building’s risk to damage.

For example, a building near an airport is more likely to suffer damage from flying debris than one near a cornfield; similarly, a building located where there is a history of severe storms might consider opting for a higher thickness.

EPDM is available in both white and black surfaces. White reflects heat, black absorbs it.

The color choice depends in part upon the look of the building, but also general climate conditions in weighing how best to achieve maximum energy efficiency in handling heating and cooling.

This type of commercial roof is also highly cost-effective, relatively fast and easy to install, and easier to repair, and thus less costly to repair, compared to other roofing materials.

Can you put asphalt shingles over an existing roof?

In some cases, it is possible to install asphalt shingles over an existing roof, depending on local building codes, the condition of the existing roof, and the number of layers already present.

However, it is generally recommended to remove the existing roof before installing a new one to ensure proper installation and prevent future potential issues.
