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.
We assess the shingles, flashing, attic ventilation and leak-prone areas before recommending a repair or replacement. Our team can walk you through Malarkey shingle options and how the roof system will be installed.

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.
