Roof replacement

In your ZIP code, 63% of homes were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1975, so many roofs here have been through decades of Cook County freeze and thaw. Roof replacement here starts with an inspection of the decking, flashing and ventilation, followed by the replacement itself. Ice-barrier underlayment under IRC R905.1.2 applies in this area. Call to book the inspection and ask for the written estimate before you decide.

One call also covers Chicago roof replacement, photographed first and estimated in writing before any work.

What shapes roof work here

Winters here test a roof: the Park Forest weather station recorded 28.2 inches of snow and about 126 freezing days a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, which puts ice-dam risk at Moderate. Then hail takes over. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 129 hail reports within 15 km of Oak Forest from 2000 to 2024, a Very High band among the towns Roofers Hotline serves, and May is the peak month. Roofers Hotline books the roof inspection and gives you a written estimate before any work starts. Call in April, ahead of the May peak, so winter damage is found first.

Questions

Roofing questions in Oak Forest

How big has hail gotten near Oak Forest?

The largest hail in Cook County's record since 2015 measured 2.75 inches, and two-inch hail was last reported within 25 km on May 7, 2024. Hail that size can crack shingles without any sign from the ground. Call to book a roof inspection after a storm and ask for the written estimate.

Are local roofs older than roofs in Chicago?

Somewhat newer. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 62% of local homes were built before 1980, against 77% in Chicago, and the median home here was built in 1975. A newer roof still ages in Cook County weather. Call to book an inspection and ask for the written estimate.

Why do roofs here leak?

Usually at the flashing. The nearest station records 42 inches of rain in a normal year. That much water finds the pipe boots, valleys and chimney seams first.
