Which shingle is right for your home?
Most Chicago-area homes are best served by architectural shingles — the sweet spot of durability, looks and value. Choose 3-tab when budget is the priority, architectural for the best all-round value, or designer shingles when you want a standout look. We'll walk you through the trade-offs during your free inspection and match the product to your home and budget.
Architectural shingles
Also called dimensional or laminated shingles — the most popular choice. Multiple layers give depth, texture and a 3-D look, with strong resistance to wind, impact and freeze-thaw for long-term protection. Why they're the most common.
Traditional 3-tab shingles
A classic, cost-effective single-layer shingle for homeowners who want reliable protection on a tighter budget. A simpler, flatter look, but still solid performance. 3-tab explained & compared.
Designer shingles
For a bold, high-end look — a wide range of colors, patterns and textures (including slate- and shake-style looks) that make a roof stand out, paired with premium durability. Best when curb appeal matters most.

Hail or wind damage to your shingles?
Hail and straight-line wind bruise, crack and tear shingles — and when it comes from a covered storm, a new shingle roof is often eligible for an insurance claim. We document the damage with photos and a code-compliant estimate. Illinois law doesn't let a roofer negotiate the claim, so our partner, a licensed public adjuster, State Adjusting Services, can represent you. See how storm & insurance work.

Shingle roofing questions
What types of asphalt shingles do you install?
Three main types — budget-friendly 3-tab, architectural (the most popular), and premium designer shingles — in GAF, Owens Corning and IKO. We match the product to your home and budget. Compare them in our residential roofing overview.
Are architectural shingles worth the extra cost?
For most Chicago-area homes, yes — they're thicker, handle wind and freeze-thaw better, and carry longer warranties than 3-tab for a modest price difference. 3-tab still makes sense on a tight budget.
How long does a shingle roof last here?
In the local freeze-thaw and hail climate, 3-tab lasts about 15–20 years, architectural ~25–30, and designer longer. See the real numbers.
Can I finance a new shingle roof?
Yes — we offer an interest-free in-house plan and long-term lender options. See financing or apply online.
