From a single leak to a full tear-off, we install premium shingle and metal systems the right way — proper decking, ice-and-water shield, ventilation and flashing — so your roof protects your home for decades. Family-owned, based in Lincolnshire, and rated 4.9 stars by 92 homeowners.
A proper roof replacement is more than new shingles. It means a full tear-off to the deck, replacing any rotted plywood, then rebuilding the system in layers: ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, balanced attic ventilation, and manufacturer-matched shingles — all installed to spec so the warranty holds.
Skipping any of those layers is where cheap roofs fail early. A shingle is only as good as what's under it, so we don't shortcut the parts you can't see. Every State Restoration Services roof includes the following, in this order:
Both perform well in Chicagoland weather. The right choice depends on budget, how long you'll stay, and the look you want.
| Factor | Architectural Asphalt | Standing-Seam Metal |
|---|---|---|
| Typical lifespan | 25–30 years | 40–70 years |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher (2–3×) |
| Wind / hail resistance | Very good (impact-rated options) | Excellent |
| Snow & ice shedding | Good | Excellent |
| Repairability | Easy, low cost | Specialized |
| Best for | Most homes, best value | Long-term owners, modern look |
For most homes in the north and northwest suburbs, an impact-rated architectural asphalt system is the best balance of cost, durability and curb appeal — which is why it's what we install most. If you plan to stay in the home 20+ years or want a premium look, we'll walk you through metal too.
We install GAF, Owens Corning and IKO architectural shingles. All three are proven in Illinois weather and offer impact-rated lines and long manufacturer warranties. We match the brand and color to your home and budget, then install to spec so the full warranty stays valid.
| Brand | Popular line | Known for |
|---|---|---|
| GAF | Timberline HDZ | America's #1-selling shingle; strong wind warranty with certified install |
| Owens Corning | Duration | SureNail strip for high wind grip; rich color blends |
| IKO | Cambridge / Dynasty | Value and durability; impact-resistant options |
Replace the roof when damage is widespread or age-related, not just a single leak. Clear signs include shingles curling or cupping, bald spots where granules have washed into the gutters, dark hail bruises, daylight or stains in the attic, and a roof that's simply past 18–20 years old.
Not sure which category you're in? That's exactly what a free inspection is for — we photograph everything and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation, in writing.

We're a family-owned company based in Lincolnshire, and our reputation is built one roof at a time. One long-time Wheeling homeowner put it plainly in his review: after 20 years and three different roofers, he'd "never seen such responsibility" — the job done perfectly, the site left clean, and a lower price than he'd paid before.
After hail or wind, we inspect for free and document every hit with photos and a code-compliant replacement estimate for your insurer. Illinois law doesn't allow a roofing contractor to negotiate your claim — so our affiliated licensed public adjuster, State Adjusting Services, can represent you directly while we handle the construction. See how storm & insurance work.
Call (866) 992-2982Most single-family asphalt roofs are torn off and replaced in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes or steep, complex rooflines can take three to four days. We confirm the exact schedule after the free inspection so you know what to expect.
Isolated damage on a newer roof is usually a repair. Widespread hail bruising, granule loss, curling shingles, or a roof past 18–20 years usually calls for replacement. Our free inspection includes photos so you can see the condition yourself before deciding — and we'll tell you honestly if a repair is smarter.
You get the manufacturer's shingle warranty (GAF, Owens Corning or IKO) plus our workmanship warranty on the installation. Because we install to the manufacturer's specification — including proper ventilation and flashing — the full material warranty stays valid.
Yes. We offer interest-free, in-house financing with no down payment and payments from $99/month, and financing can be combined with an insurance claim to cover a deductible or upgrades. See our financing options.
