How Do You Know When It’s Time for a New Roof?
Your roof doesn’t fail overnight. It gives you warning signs along the way. Catching these early can save you from emergency roof leak repairs, interior water damage, and the stress of dealing with a compromised roof during an Illinois winter.
Here’s what we look for during every free inspection:
Age of Your Roof
Most asphalt shingle roofs in the Chicago suburbs last 20 to 30 years, depending on the quality of the original installation and how much abuse they’ve taken from our freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and hail.
If your roof is approaching that range and you’re seeing other warning signs, replacement is usually the smarter investment than continued roof repairs.
Recurring Roof Leaks or Repairs
One repair is normal if your roof is older. However, two or more repairs in different areas starts to add up.
If you’ve had your roof patched multiple times and you’re still dealing with issues, it’s often more cost-effective to replace the entire roof rather than continuing to chase leaks.
Whether or not you choose HomeHero to do the work, we’ll always give you the most honest advice when it comes to whether you should repair or replace.
Find out how to spot bad roofing companies by looking out for these red flags.
Missing, Cracked, or Curling Shingles
Asphalt shingles that are cracked, buckling, or missing altogether leave your roof deck exposed to water. A few damaged shingles can often be repaired.
But if the damage is widespread across multiple sections, you’re looking at a roof that’s failing systemically.
Get My Free EstimateGranules in Your Gutters
Those tiny granules on asphalt shingles protect the underlying material from UV damage.
No question, when shingles age, they shed granules faster.
If you’re finding piles of granules in your gutters or at the bottom of your downspouts after rain, your shingles are losing their protective layer and won’t last much longer.
Speaking of gutters, our experience and friendly crews also are well-versed in gutter replacement services, including installing gutter guards to keep the leaves out.
Sagging Sections
A sagging roofline is never cosmetic. It means the decking or structural supports underneath have been compromised, usually from moisture damage that’s been building for a while. This requires immediate attention.
Daylight Through the Roof Boards
If you can see light coming through your attic, water can get through too. This is a clear sign of holes or gaps that need to be addressed with a full replacement.
What’s Included in Your New Roof From HomeHero
When HomeHero replaces your roof, we don’t cut corners.
Every project includes a complete tear-off down to the decking, premium Owens Corning materials, and a thorough cleanup. Here’s exactly what you’re getting when you hire HomeHero for roof replacement services:
Complete Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We remove all existing shingles and underlayment down to the bare decking. This lets us inspect every inch for rot, water damage, or soft spots.
If we find damaged wood, we’ll photograph it and let you know before replacing it.
Every HomeHero replacement includes up to two sheets of decking replacement at no extra charge.
Ice and Water Barrier Protection
Illinois winters are hard on roofs. We install two rows of ice and water barrier along your eaves and in all valleys.
This self-sealing membrane prevents ice dams from forcing water underneath your shingles and into your home.
Synthetic Underlayment
A layer of synthetic underlayment covers your entire roof deck. This provides a secondary water barrier and helps your shingles lay flat for a clean finished look.
Drip Edge Flashing
Metal drip edge goes along all roof edges to direct water into your gutters instead of running down your fascia boards and causing rot.
Without a doubt, drip edge flashing is one of the lesser known heroes of your roofing system. They are an essential piece of protecting your home from water damage that many roofers overlook or choose to ignore.
Starter Strip
Starter shingles along the eaves and rakes give your first row of shingles something to seal to, preventing wind uplift. Accordingly, starter strips keep your shingles in place under extreme conditions, preventing water intrusion and shingle exposure.
Owens Corning Duration Shingles
We install Owens Corning Duration shingles as our standard. In our experience, Owens Corning Tru Definition Duration Series shingles are the pound for pound best value and quality combo, even when compared to GAF or Malarkey shingles.
These architectural shingles are built for high wind resistance, carry a 40-year limited warranty from Owens Corning, and come in a range of colors to match your home.
Learn more about choosing the right shingle color for your home.
Proper Ventilation
Good attic ventilation extends your roof’s life and lowers your energy bills. We install ridge vents or box vents depending on your roof design to keep air flowing properly.
Flashing at All Penetrations
Every pipe, vent, chimney, and wall intersection gets proper step flashing and counter flashing to prevent leaks at these vulnerable points.
Hip and Ridge Caps
We finish the peaks and hips of your roof with matching cap shingles for a clean, professional appearance and proper water shedding.

Full Cleanup with Magnet Sweep
After installation, our crew does a complete cleanup. We run magnets across your lawn, driveway, and beds to pick up any stray nails.
Your HomeHero project manager inspects the cleanup before we consider the job complete.
Our Roof Replacement Process: What to Expect
We’ve replaced over 270 roofs across DuPage and Cook County. Our process is designed to keep you informed at every step without making you do extra work.
Step 1: Free Inspection and Estimate
We’ll schedule a time to inspect your roof in person. During your free roof inspection, we check for damage, take measurements, and assess your ventilation.
You’ll get a detailed estimate within 24 hours that includes material options, warranty information, and accurate pricing based on your specific roof.
Step 2: You Give the Green Light
Once you decide to move forward, we handle the permit process with your local municipality. Whether you’re in Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Westmont, Burr Ridge, or anywhere else we service, we take care of the paperwork.
Again, no deposit required. You won’t have to pay anything until the job is 100% finished and you’re completely satisfied.
Need financing? We partner with Acorn to offer flexible payment options. Our team is happy to walk you through how it works during your estimate.
Step 3: Your Dedicated Project Manager
You’ll be assigned a project manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the project.
Accordingly, they’ll confirm your installation date, answer questions, and keep you updated every step of the way.
Step 4: Installation Day
Our crew and materials arrive between 7:00 and 9:00 AM. We’ll need your driveway clear for the material delivery.
Here’s how the day unfolds:
Protecting Your Home: Before tear off begins, our crews will cover areas around your home with tarps to protect them and make cleanup easier and faster. This includes covering bushes or driveways and moving items like grills and furniture away from the home if needed.
Tear-off: We remove your old roof down to the decking and inspect for any damaged wood. If we find anything, we photograph it and notify your project manager immediately so you stay informed.
Installation: We install your complete Owens Corning roofing system following manufacturer specifications. Most roofs are completed in one day, though larger or more complex roofs may extend into a second day.
Weather watch: We don’t work if rain is in the forecast. Quality and safety come first.
Cleanup: Once installation is complete, our crew does a thorough cleanup that’s inspected and approved by your project manager before we leave.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Payment
After cleanup, we’ll walk you through the completed work. Payment is collected only after you’re satisfied with the job. If you’re happy with the results, we’d appreciate a review to help other homeowners find us.
A Note About Installation Day
Roof replacement is a big job. Our crew will be removing thousands of pounds of material from your home. You’re welcome to be home, but expect significant noise from the tear-off and nailing. We recommend taking dogs somewhere else for the day and removing any fragile items from your walls. Standard pictures can stay up. The day may feel like a choreographed circus, but our team runs like clockwork.
How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in the Chicago Suburbs?
Every roof is different, so giving you an exact price without inspecting your home isn’t possible. But we can give you a realistic range based on the hundreds of roofs we’ve replaced across DuPage and Cook County.
Typical Roofing Replacement Price Ranges
For a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement in the western Chicago suburbs, most homeowners pay between $8,000 and $25,000.
The average roof replacement we complete falls in the $16,000 to $19,000 range for a typical single-family home.
These numbers include everything: tear-off, materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees.
What Affects Your Price
Roof size: Measured in “squares” (100 square feet each). A larger roof needs more materials and labor.
Roof pitch: Steeper roofs require more safety equipment and take longer to complete, which affects labor costs.
Complexity: More peaks, valleys, dormers, and penetrations (like skylights or chimneys) mean more detail work and flashing.
Decking condition: If we find significant rot or damage when we tear off the old roof, replacing that wood adds to the cost. We include up to two sheets in every project, but extensive damage will require additional materials.
Material selection: Owens Corning Duration shingles are our standard and what most homeowners choose. Upgraded options are available if you want a different look or enhanced warranty coverage.

Financing Options
A new roof is a significant investment, but it shouldn’t be out of reach. We’ve partnered with Acorn to offer financing with easy approval and flexible terms. Ask us about it during your estimate.
No Deposit Required
Unlike many roofing companies, we don’t ask for money upfront. You pay only after the work is complete and you’re satisfied with your new roof.
Why Homeowners Across the Western Suburbs Trust HomeHero
There’s no shortage of roofing companies in the Chicago area. Storm chasers show up after every hail event. National franchises run TV ads. General contractors claim they can handle roofing too.
So why do homeowners in La Grange, Lisle, Naperville, Oak Brook, and everywhere in between choose HomeHero?
A 10-Year Workmanship Warranty That Means Something
Most roofing contractors offer a one or two-year workmanship warranty, if they offer one at all. We guarantee our work for 10 years.
If something goes wrong with the installation that isn’t caused by severe weather, we come back and fix it. No questions and absolutely no runarounds or excuses.
This isn’t just marketing. It’s how we hold ourselves accountable. When you know you’re on the hook for a decade, you don’t cut corners.
A Local Team You Can Actually Reach
HomeHero is owned and operated by Matt Balducci and Andre Kazimierski. We live in the western suburbs.
When you call, you get us or our team, not a call center in another state. When something goes wrong (and sometimes it does in construction), you know exactly who to contact and that we’ll make it right.
As Matt puts it: “Our customers know they can reach us directly. We’re not hiding behind a call center. You get Matt or Andre personally, within 24 hours, ready to make it right.”
100% Focused on Roofing
We don’t do siding, windows, doors as an afterthought, or kitchen remodels. We do roofing and gutters that go along with a great roof.
That singular focus means our crews aren’t learning a new trade every week. They install roofs day in and day out, which shows in the quality of our work.

We’ve completed over 270 roofing projects since 2023 and maintain a perfect 5.0-star rating across 120+ Google reviews.
That’s not luck. It’s the result of doing good work, communicating clearly, and fixing problems fast when they come up.
Don’t take our word for it. Read what your neighbors are saying about HomeHero.

Where We Replace Roofs
HomeHero Roofing is based out of Downers Grove and most of our roofing replacement work takes place within about 20 minutes of the office. This includes western suburbs in DuPage County and Cook County.
Because we’re so close, it keeps our crews efficient and means we can get to you fast if something comes up after the job.
Downers Grove, Woodridge, Lisle, and Nearby
This is our backyard. Literally. Most weeks we have two or three jobs going within a few miles of our office on Wisconsin Ave.
A lot of homes around here went up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. If you bought one of those houses, there’s a decent chance the roof is original or was replaced once in the 90s. Either way, it’s probably due.
We’ve done everything from simple ranch tear-offs to tricky split-levels with multiple low-slope sections that other roofers don’t want to mess with.
La Grange, Western Springs, Hinsdale Area
I live in La Grange Highlands, 5 minutes away from Hinsdale, downtown La Grange, Western Springs, and Countryside, IL. On a daily basis, I drive past our completed roof replacement jobs. That’s accountability you don’t get from a company based outside the western suburbs of Chicago.
Our homes here near the La Grange area tend to be older. Some of the Victorians and early 1900s builds in La Grange are on their third or fourth roof. Older houses have quirks: skip sheathing instead of plywood, unusual flashing details, layers that previous roofers left in place. We know what to look for.
Hinsdale has bigger homes with steeper pitches and more complexity. Western Springs is a mix of everything. We work in all of them regularly.

Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, Clarendon Hills
These are the big ones. 4,000+ square foot homes with complicated rooflines, steep sections, and homeowners who expect everything done right.
Tear-off on a house this size generates a mountain of debris. We bring extra tarps, protect the landscaping, and clean up like we were never there.
If your driveway is pavers or stamped concrete, we take extra steps to make sure nothing gets damaged.
Not every crew wants to take on these jobs. Ours does.

Naperville, Elmhurst, Lombard, and DuPage County
Naperville keeps us busy. Tons of subdivisions from the 80s and 90s where every house on the block is hitting 25-30 years at the same time. We’ve done entire streets where one neighbor sees our work and three more call the next week.
Same story in Lombard, Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn. These are the suburbs where first-time roof replacements are happening constantly. If you’ve never been through a roof replacement before, we’ll explain every step so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof is a big decision. In fact, it’s probably one of the largest home improvement investments most homeowners in DuPage or Cook County make.
The following are the questions our customers ask us across Downers Grove, Naperville, and the western suburbs before moving forward.
How do I know it’s actually time for a new roof and not just repairs?
Here’s the honest answer: sometimes it’s borderline, and we’ll tell you that.
But replacement usually makes sense when your roof is pushing 20+ years, you’re seeing problems popping up in multiple areas, or you’ve already patched it a few times and the issues keep coming back.
As you can read in our reviews, we’ve told plenty of homeowners they can get another 5-7 years out of their roof with a repair.
If that’s your situation, we’ll say so and in case you’re throwing good money after bad, we’ll tell you that too.
What does a full roof replacement actually include?
When you get a quote from HomeHero, everything is included to properly replace your roof. This includes, pulling all local permits, tearing off your existing roof down to the wood decking, and inspecting it for rot or damage (and replace any bad sections).
Then, we build up the complete roofing system, which includes an ice and water shield installed in the valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge, your shingles, step flashing and counter flashing around chimneys and walls, pipe boots around every vent, and ridge ventilation. Along those lines, we’ll include what shingles and materials we are using to protect your roof.
Finally a full cleanup of the worksite is done and a magnet sweep to pick up any lingering nails or scrap material. All of this should be included in any roofing replacement price quote you get. That, in addition to valid insurance documentation, a valid Illinois roofing license, and a written workmanship warranty with clear terms.
All things considered, our goal is to install a premium roof system that’s going to protect your home for the next 25-30 years. That’s whats most important to us when we provide you quote to replace your entire roof.
What’s the real cost for a roof replacement around here?
For most homes in the western suburbs, you’re looking at somewhere between $8,000 and $15,000. Smaller ranch? Closer to the low end. Bigger colonial with dormers and multiple peaks? Higher end.
What affects the price: square footage, how steep your roof is, how many layers we’re tearing off, whether we find rotted decking underneath, and which shingle line you choose.
We give you an itemized estimate that breaks all of this down with absolutely no “per square” guessing games and zero surprise charges at the end.
How long will you be at my house?
Most jobs wrap up in one day. Seriously. We show up early, tear off the old roof, install the new one, clean up, and you’ve got a new roof by dinner. Larger homes or complicated roof lines might stretch into a second day.
Three days max for the big ones. We don’t drag jobs out because our crews do this every single day and they’re efficient. Accordingly, we’ll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
I got three quotes and they’re all different. How do I compare them?
This is where a lot of homeowners get burned, especially if you live in the western suburbs of Chicago. There’s so many different contractors that say they do roofing well nearby, who can you trust?
First, make sure you’re comparing the same thing: What shingle are they using? What underlayment? Are they including ice and water shield or skipping it? What about the flashing, are they reusing your old flashing or replacing it?
And what about their workmanship warranty, is it one year, two years, or ten? Do they have the terms of the warranty outlined on their website and is it written in the quote.
Cheapest quote often means corners cut somewhere. We’re happy to walk you through our estimate line by line and explain exactly what you’re getting. Even if you don’t decide to go with HomeHero, we’ll still help you with recommendations. That transparency is the whole point of doing things The HomeHero Way.
What if my insurance is covering the replacement?
HomeHero’s experienced roofing team handles storm damage claims all the time.
Here’s how it works: we document everything with photos and measurements, then we can meet your adjuster on-site to walk through the damage together. Indeed, we know what they need to see and how to present it.
You shouldn’t have to fight with your insurance company and that’s part of what we’re here for. And we won’t pressure you to add upgrades your insurance won’t cover. Whatever they approve is what we’ll do, done right.
