NEW RESIDENTIAL ROOF INSTALLATION
SKOKIE ROOFING COMPANY

New Roof Installation & Consultation For Homes In Skokie, IL

​

Roofs don’t last forever. Whether it’s curling shingles, worn decking, or leaks that just keep coming back—when it’s time, it’s time.

​

At Skokie Roofing Company, we don’t dress it up. We replace old roofs and install new ones that stay put. We’ve handled simple one-story homes, complex sloped roofs, and plenty of older Skokie houses that needed extra care. Our team gets in, gets it done, and leaves the job site cleaner than we found it.

​

No overpromising. No surprises. Just solid roof work that doesn’t need a second call.

 

What We Do When Building A New Roof

We start with a proper look around—no guesswork. We check the framing, decking, and everything underneath. Once we know what’s going on, we explain your options without pushing you one way or another.

Here’s what to expect:

• Honest walkthrough and inspection

• Clear plan based on your roof’s shape and needs

• Clean, organized job from start to finish

• Final check and warranty in hand

 

We don’t get fancy. We just do it right.

 

Roofing Styles That Get The Job Done

 

Pitched Shingle Roofs

Good slope, good drainage. These are common around Skokie and easy to work with. Most are topped with asphalt shingles, which we install in a range of types and colors. Affordable and proven to last if they’re put in right.

 

Flat Roofs

Plenty of older homes and multi-units have these. Flat roofs are solid if they’re done well. They also give you room for solar panels, AC units, or extra usable space. Drainage and sealing matter most here.

 

Mixed and Custom Roofs

We’ve done our share of trickier layouts. If your house has multiple angles, different slopes, or a mix of flat and pitched, no problem—we measure everything twice and build it to hold up.

 

Cedar & Synthetic Shake

Cedar looks great, sure. But it needs maintenance. We do both the real stuff and synthetic versions that look similar but are easier to take care of. Your call—we’ll show you both.

 

Energy-Saving Roofs

We install reflective coatings, energy-smart systems, and recycled materials for folks trying to lower bills and reduce heat inside the house. They work—and we can show you where they make sense.

 

Materials We Use Because They Work

 

Asphalt Shingles

Affordable, tough, and customizable. These go on most homes. We offer multiple grades depending on what you want: something simple or something a little flashier with longer wear.

 

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Made with layers of tar and fabric, this system is strong and watertight—good for flat or low-slope roofs. We’ve used BUR on lots of older homes with flat sections.

 

Cool Roof Coatings

Reflects the sun and keeps your attic cooler. Works best on flat or low-slope homes. Helps with energy use in the summer.

 

EPDM Roofing

This black rubber membrane handles water, snow, and heat. We use EPDM on flat-roof homes where cost, performance, and low maintenance all matter.

 

Fluid-Applied Membranes

Sprayed or rolled on, then hardened into a single waterproof layer. Good for sealing off older flat roofs or protecting new ones from leaks before they start.

 

Metal Roofing

If you want something that lasts and you’re okay paying a little more up front, metal is hard to beat. It sheds snow, resists wind, and holds up for decades.

 

Modified Bitumen

Used mostly on low-slope homes. It’s strong, flexible, and tough against rain and snow. We use this a lot for basic residential flat roofing.

 

TPO Roofing

This is a white membrane that reflects heat and saves energy. Works great for homes with flat or low-pitched sections. Lightweight and clean-looking.

 

Cedar Shake Roofing

Wood shingles with natural texture and good insulation. Looks great, but needs some care over time. Best for folks who want the real thing and are okay with maintenance.

 

Synthetic Roofing

Built to look like wood, slate, or tile—without the weight or work. These last a long time and are good if you want style without constant upkeep.

 

Slate Roofing

Heavy, elegant, and built to outlast us all. Expensive and requires extra support underneath, but if you want something high-end, it’s the real deal.

 

Clay & Concrete Tile Roofing

Common on certain custom homes. Great fire resistance, long life, but heavy—make sure your house is built for it. Not for every roof, but the right home makes it worth it.

Price? Depends On The House

Here’s the deal: the price for a new roof depends on what you’re building on. A basic slope with standard shingles will run less than a steep roof with TPO, metal, or a mix of slopes. Add tight access or tricky framing, and it changes labor time too.

​

We don’t throw out ballpark numbers. We look, we measure, we talk it out. You’ll know what you’re paying for, why it costs that much, and what’s covered.
