Should I repair or replace my Clarendon Hills roof?
Roof condition should drive this decision. A repair fits when the failure is isolated and the surrounding roof still performs. Replacement becomes the better choice when age, storm impact, repeated leaks, decking decay, or material incompatibility affects the roof as a whole.
| Condition | Repair may fit | Replacement may fit |
| Shingle age and wear | Surrounding shingles lie flat and hold granules | Shingles are brittle, curled, cracked, or losing granules across several slopes |
| Storm impact | Wind or hail damage is limited to a small area | Impact appears on multiple slopes, vents, gutters, or exterior metals |
| Deck condition | Decking is firm and dry below the repair area | Decking is soft, deflected, stained, delaminated, or rotted |
| Leak history | One leak traces to flashing, a pipe boot, or a small slope area | Leaks return after past repairs or appear in different rooms |
| Material compatibility | Replacement shingles match and integrate cleanly | Existing shingles are discontinued, brittle, or too aged for a reliable patch |
| Ventilation | Small intake or exhaust corrections fit into the repair | Attic heat or moisture has damaged the deck and shingles from below |
| Permit scope | A focused repair meets the project need | Reroofing, framing repair, or siding work triggers a broader Village permit process |
The cost of a roof depends on the specific property, not a citywide average. The estimate reflects roof square footage, pitch, walkability, number of tear-off layers, decking condition, shingle grade, underlayment system, flashing complexity, disposal, ventilation corrections, and Village permit requirements.
What does a complete roof replacement include?
- Tear-off down to the roof deck
- Structural decking audit, with replacement where plywood or OSB is soft, delaminated, rotted, or deflected
- High-tensile synthetic underlayment over clean decking
- Dual-layer self-adhering ice-and-water shield at high-risk eaves, valleys, and roof-to-wall transitions
- Drip edge, starter strips, GAF architectural shingles, hip caps, and ridge caps
- Step flashing, apron flashing, counter-flashing, pipe boots, and wall transitions
- Soffit intake and ridge exhaust corrections where the roof design supports passive airflow
- Debris removal, magnetic cleanup, final review, and warranty paperwork
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Clarendon Hills?
| Requirement | What it means for homeowners |
| Village building permit | Reroofing requires a permit before work begins. |
| 2024 IRC code basis | Updated codes effective February 1, 2026 apply to Village projects. |
| Village contractor license | Contractors must hold an active annual Village license. |
| $10,000 surety bond | Contractors must post a contractor license surety bond payable to the Village. |
| Illinois roofing license | Roofing contractors must show state roofer license documentation. Royal Craft holds #104.012213. |
| Liability insurance | The Village application requires proof of insurance naming the Village as certificate holder. |

How does the Royal Craft installation process work?
1. Diagnostic inspection and attic audit
Bill Cantalupo or Mauricio Moran directs the on-site review. Royal Craft checks the roof covering, flashing, valleys, gutters, deck condition, attic ventilation, insulation, visible storm damage, and permit needs.
2. Itemized scope and proposal
Royal Craft provides a written line-item scope that separates materials, permits, labor, waste disposal, decking repairs, ventilation corrections, flashing details, warranty items, and financing options.
3. Execution and site protection
Crews protect the property and control debris. They tear off existing roofing when required, inspect the deck, install underlayment and ice-and-water protection, replace flashing, install shingles, and clean up. Most standard single-family roof replacements finish in 1 to 2 business days once the permit, materials, weather, access, and scope are ready. EPA lead-safe containment applies when work disturbs regulated painted surfaces on qualifying older homes.
4. Municipal inspection and warranty handover
Closeout includes a final roof review, cleanup, magnetic sweep, coordination of the Village permit inspection when required, delivery of the 10-year workmanship warranty, and manufacturer warranty registration where eligible.
Clarendon Hills roofing FAQs
Is Royal Craft licensed and bonded to work in Clarendon Hills?
Royal Craft holds Illinois Roofing License #104.012213. Clarendon Hills requires an active annual Village contractor license and a $10,000 contractor license surety bond before permits are issued. Confirm the Village license and bond status for the current permit cycle before work begins.
How do you prevent ice dams on Clarendon Hills homes?
Ice dam prevention starts with the roof and attic. Royal Craft installs self-adhering ice-and-water protection at eaves and valleys, then pairs it with soffit intake, ridge exhaust, attic insulation, and air sealing where the home needs thermal correction.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most standard single-family replacements finish within 1 to 2 business days after the permit, materials, weather, access, and final scope are ready. Steep pitch, damaged decking, complex flashing, or coordinated siding and gutter work adds time.
What does a roof inspection include?
Royal Craft inspects the roof covering, penetrations, flashing, valleys, gutters, fascia, soffits, attic ventilation, insulation, visible decking, and signs of leaks. Homeowners receive written findings, high-resolution photos, and a repair-or-replace recommendation.
What warranties come with a new roof?
Royal Craft provides a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Manufacturer coverage depends on the roofing system, eligible components, installation requirements, and registration. Request both the workmanship and manufacturer paperwork at closeout.
