What to Expect When We Replace Your Roof

From the first phone call to final cleanup — here's how a GSKI roof replacement works.

1

Free Inspection

We come to your home, get on the roof, and assess the condition. You get an honest evaluation and photos — no pressure, no obligation.

2

Detailed Estimate

A written estimate with materials, scope of work, timeline, warranty terms, and total cost. No hidden fees, no surprises.

3

Tear-Off & Inspection

We strip the old roof down to the deck and inspect every inch. Damaged decking is replaced before anything new goes on.

4

Installation

Ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, starter strips, shingles, ridge vents, flashing — installed by our experienced crew, not subcontractors.

5

Cleanup & Walkthrough

Magnetic sweep of the yard for nails, debris removal, and a final walkthrough with you. Your property looks better than before we started.

6

Warranty & Support

Manufacturer warranty on materials plus our workmanship warranty. We service the roof for its entire lifetime — if you ever have a leak, we'll be there.

Storm Damage? We Handle the Insurance.

If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or fallen debris, your homeowner's insurance likely covers the replacement. We manage the entire claims process for you.

We inspect your roof and document every bit of damage with photos and detailed notes. We meet with the insurance adjuster on-site and make sure nothing is overlooked. We handle supplemental claims if additional damage is found during tear-off. Your out-of-pocket cost is typically just your deductible — insurance covers the rest.

Residential Roofing FAQ

How much does a roof replacement cost in Chicago?

Most Chicago-area homes fall somewhere between $8,000 and $25,000+, depending on roof size, pitch, the material you choose and how many layers need to come off. We give every homeowner a free inspection and a written, itemized estimate so you know the exact number before anything starts.

How long does a residential roof replacement take?

Most homes are torn off and fully re-roofed in one to two days. Larger or steeper homes, or roofs with significant deck damage, can take a little longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes. We handle permits and city coordination for every roof replacement, so you don't have to chase anything down.

What shingles do you install?

We install architectural asphalt shingles from leading manufacturers such as GAF, along with metal, cedar shake and slate. We'll help you choose the right material for your home, your budget and Chicago weather.

Will insurance cover my roof replacement?

If your roof was damaged by hail, wind or a fallen tree, your homeowner's policy often covers it. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on-site and handle the claim paperwork with you.
