Unique Roofing Challenges in La Grange, Illinois
When it comes to roof repairs or replacement in La Grange, there’s a few unique challenges to consider. Here are a few we’ve come across over the year working in the neighborhood.
Older Houses Requires Full Tear-Offs
The medium build year for houses in La Grange is 1949 with 73% of homes constructed before 1970.
This means homes in La Grange are older than many neighborhoods nearby like Western Springs or even La Grange Park. Because of this, most roofs in La Grange are on their 3rd or 4th tear off or replacement.
Keep in mind that Illinois code allows a maximum of two shingle layers. Since most residents in La Grange own their homes, we rarely run into someone who want to re-roof their home versus a complete replacement.
Often done by landlords who want a cheap roof, re-roofing is installing a layer of shingles on top of existing shingles.
Re-Roofing Versus Roof Replacement
While, re-roofing is cheaper than a roof replacement, it cannot be covered under warranty because it simply won’t last as long as a complete replacement.
The real problem with re-roofing versus replacement is whats under the shingles. Roof replacement includes tearing off the full layers of shingles and inspecting the wooden deck boards, along with installing ice and water shields, per La Grange building code.
Since the layers of damaged roof decking or and sheathing under shingles are never inspected in a re-roof, you may miss structural issues that can lead to major damages in the future.
That’s why i would steer clear of any roofer that recommends re-roofing versus a full replacement on a beautiful home in La Grange. Not only does it likely violate local building codes for roofers in the village of La Grange, it also signifies low quality standards.
Historic District Architectural Considerations
La Grange’s Historic District includes over 1,000 buildings, plus several Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes. Roofing these properties often means matching period-appropriate aesthetics and working around complex roof lines.
Also, steep pitches were very common in late 19th/early 20th century architecture styles, often found in La Grange.
These are all reasons why you always want to make sure any La Grange roofer you get a quote from is licensed, bonded, and insured like HomeHero Roofing.
Before hiring any roofing contractor in La Grange, run a quick license check on IDFPR. Look for ACTIVE status and a clean disciplinary record.
We also have years of experience working with older La Grange roofs and can navigate any additional permits needed based on historic preservation guidelines for exterior modifications.
La Grange Roofing Permit and Code Requirements
There are very specific roofing requirements by the village of La Grange that contractors must follow. Here are the details regarding La Grange’s roofing work permit and building code requirements that all roofing companies need to adhere to.
Do You Have to Pull A Permit for Roofing in La Grange?
Yes, a permit is required for roof replacement in La Grange, IL.
According to the Village of La Grange’s Community Development Department, permits are required for structural modifications including roofing.
Key details:
- All contractors performing work in La Grange must be registered with the Community Development Department
- Permit applications can be submitted online through the village’s Citizen Services portal
- Work done without a permit is assessed a double permit fee
- Contact: [email protected] or 708-579-2320
Regardless, HomeHero handles the permit process for all La Grange roofing projects. This includes pulling the roofing permit for you, scheduling an inspections, and make sure the job is closed out properly with the village.
Residential Roofing Code in La Grange Explained
The Village of La Grange follows the 2015 IRC and IBC with local interpretations. Here’s what matters for your roof replacement. HomeHero strictly adhere’s to these code requirements as part of our standard roofing service SOP in La Grange and all surrounding suburbs.
Two Layers Max
If your roof already has two layers of shingles, you’re getting a full tear-off. No exceptions. With most La Grange homes built before 1970, a lot of roofs are already at this limit.
50% Rule
Repairs are allowed up to 50% of your roof’s total area. Beyond that, La Grange requires a complete replacement.
Ice and Water Shield Required
Every pitched roof needs ice and water shield from the gutter line to at least 24 inches past the inside edge of your exterior wall. This is non-negotiable in our climate zone. This is also a requirement for most suburbs in DuPage and Cook County including Hinsdale and Naperville, both of which HomeHero serves.
Drip Edge at All Edges
Metal drip edge flashing is required on eaves and gable ends for all replacement roofs.
Sheathing Replacement
Under 50% replaced? We can match existing materials. At 50% or more, current code kicks in: 7/16″ APA-rated panels, 24/16 span rating, 1/8″ spacing between panels.
Contractor Licensing
Illinois state roofing license required for all work, including minor flashing and vent repairs. In order to obtain an Illinois roofing license, a roofer must have proper and valid liability insurance and bonding as well.
Flat Roof Insulation
Replacing or altering insulation? You’ll need R-30 continuous insulation above deck per Illinois Energy Code.
Linked below, the village follows the 2015 International Residential Code and has a specific “La Grange Roofing Interpretation” document that outlines local requirements.
