Planning exterior work in Palatine

For an older home near downtown Palatine or a house along Plum Grove Road, the estimate starts with the details that affect the work. We check roof valleys and wall flashing, look at how water moves off the roof, and inspect siding where it meets windows, doors and trim.

The Village of Palatine lists roof replacement as work requiring a building permit. Ask during your estimate who will file the application and which inspections the scope calls for. Read the Village’s permit guidance.

What to expect from your estimate

Tell us what you’ve noticed, whether it’s a ceiling stain after heavy rain, loose siding or a roof that’s nearing the end of its life. We’ll assess the exterior, explain where water may be getting in and walk you through the work we recommend. If you’re replacing roofing and siding together, we can plan the roof edges, gutters and siding transitions as one project.

Northwind serves Palatine from its Park Ridge office. The team is a Malarkey Certified Premium Contractor and a James Hardie Alliance Elite Contractor.

Palatine roofing and siding questions

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Palatine?

For a property within the Village of Palatine, roof replacement is listed as permit-required. The Village publishes a single-family re-roof checklist. Confirm who will apply before you sign the scope of work.

What if I spot a leak after a storm in Palatine?

Tell us when it started and where you see staining or water inside. Photos taken safely from the ground or indoors help us prepare. During an inspection we can look for lifted shingles, damaged flashing and other ways water may be getting in.

Can you help me decide between roof repair and replacement?

Yes. We look at the age of the roof, the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding materials. We’ll explain whether a targeted repair is practical and when replacement makes more sense.

Can I get roofing and siding estimates at the same visit?

Yes. Mention both when you schedule so we can review the two scopes together and discuss the order of work.

What should I tell you when I book?

Share your Palatine property address, what you’ve noticed and when it started. If there was a recent storm, photos and the approximate date can help us prepare for the visit.
