Roofing Services in Lombard
Every Lombard roofing job starts with a physical inspection on your roof and in your attic. A leak can start at failed shingles, but it can also start at flashing, valleys, pipe boots, ventilation, soft decking, gutters or a roof-to-wall transition. The inspection separates the symptom from the cause before anyone quotes a repair.

Village of Lombard Roofing Permits & Contractor Requirements
Lombard requires a permit for roofing work, and repairs that cover more than 25% of the total roof area fall under that rule. If your repair scope sits near that line, Royal Craft confirms the permit path with the Lombard Building Division before work begins. The Village sets these rules, and checking them before you sign gives you a fast way to screen any Lombard roof permit claim a contractor makes.
| Requirement | What it means for your roof |
| Building permit | Required when roof repairs cover more than 25% of the total roof area |
| Layer limit | Maximum of 2 roofing layers. A roof that already has 2 layers needs a full tear-off |
| Fasteners | Shingle stapling is prohibited. Crews must hand-drive or pneumatically drive nails |
| Ice-and-water shield | From the eaves to 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, plus 18 inches on each side of valleys |
| Roofer licensing | Roofers must submit a copy of their State roofing license to the Village |
| Contractor registration | Contractors on permitted work keep their annual Village Contractor Registration current |
Should You Repair or Replace Your Lombard Roof?
Repair or replace depends on what the inspection finds: how much of the roof is damaged, what shape the decking is in, how many layers sit on it, and whether the work crosses Lombard’s 25% permit threshold.
| Condition | Repair may fit | Replacement may fit |
| Damage area | One leak, one flashing defect, one pipe boot or a limited shingle field | Damage across several slopes or more than 25% of the roof area |
| Shingle condition | Surrounding shingles lie flat and still hold granules | Shingles curl, crack or lose granules across wide areas |
| Deck integrity | Decking is firm and dry below the repair area | Decking is soft, sagging, stained or delaminated |
| Leak history | One traceable leak source | Repeated leaks or several ceiling stains |
| Existing layers | One layer, with room for a code-compliant repair | Two layers already in place, which requires tear-off |
| Ventilation | A minor airflow correction fixes the problem | Attic heat or moisture has aged the roof from below |
| Storm damage | Damage stays local and repairable | Hail or wind damage spreads across multiple slopes |
If your roof qualifies for repair, the estimate says so. If replacement makes more sense, the estimate shows the reason line by line: deck condition, material failure, ventilation, code requirements and permit triggers.

Siding & Exterior Remodeling Services
Royal Craft also works as a siding contractor in Lombard when a water problem crosses roof lines, wall cladding, gutters, windows or attic ventilation. Most leaks show up at the connections between those systems, so one crew that handles all of them can trace the cause.
Siding Replacement
Royal Craft installs James Hardie fiber cement siding and holds Alliance Contractor status with the brand. Homeowners who want engineered wood can choose LP SmartSide, and older walls that need better exterior thermal performance can take insulated vinyl siding such as CraneBoard®. Before finish panels go up, the crew checks wall sheathing, weather-resistive barriers, trim clearances, window and door flashing, roof-to-wall transitions and moisture paths.
Seamless Gutters & Attic Ventilation
Royal Craft forms custom continuous aluminum gutters on site and installs downspouts, leaf protection, soffit and fascia. Water that backs up behind fascia can reach soffits and foundations, so gutter work follows the roof edge detail. Attic ventilation connects soffit intake, clear rafter paths and ridge exhaust where the roof design allows. Balanced airflow reduces trapped attic heat, condensation risk and winter ice dam conditions.
Energy-Efficient Windows & Doors
Royal Craft installs Pella and ProVia replacement windows and doors built for Midwest temperature swings. Each installation includes flashing tape, air sealing, sill protection, trim integration and water management at the rough opening.

Our 4-Step Roofing Process
1. On-Site Physical Inspection
Bill Cantalupo or Mauricio Moran inspects your roof in person. The review covers roof covering, flashing, valleys, gutters, decking, attic ventilation, insulation and visible storm damage. You get photos of what the inspection finds.
2. Transparent Line-Item Estimate
The written estimate breaks out materials, labor, permits and waste disposal, along with decking repairs, ventilation corrections, flashing details and warranty terms. It prices extra tear-off layers, soft decking and code-required ice-and-water shield as separate lines. Financing is available if you want to spread the cost. Nobody asks you to sign on the first visit.
3. Precision Installation & Site Protection
Crews protect your property, tear off the old roofing where required, inspect the deck, and install underlayment and ice-and-water shield. They replace flashing, nail every shingle, correct ventilation details and sweep the yard with a magnetic tool. Standard single-family homes finish in 1 to 2 business days, and complex roofs with multiple valleys or steep pitch can run to 3.
4. Final Quality Audit & Warranty Delivery
Closeout includes a final roof review, cleanup, paid invoice and any inspection coordination the permit requires. Royal Craft backs the work with a 10-year workmanship guarantee and registers eligible GAF manufacturer warranties where the selected system qualifies.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lombard Roofing
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Lombard?
Yes. Lombard requires a permit for roofing work, including full replacements and any repair that covers more than 25% of the roof area. Royal Craft confirms the permit path with the Lombard Building Division before work begins.
How many layers of shingles can be on a roof in Lombard?
Lombard allows a maximum of 2 roofing layers. If two layers already exist, the next replacement requires a complete tear-off.
Is Royal Craft licensed to work as a roofer in Lombard?
Yes. Royal Craft holds Illinois Roofing License #104.012213, issued through IDFPR. Lombard requires roofers to provide a copy of their State license and to keep annual Village Contractor Registration current, and Royal Craft supplies that documentation with the permit.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most standard single-family roof replacements take 1 to 2 business days. Steep pitches, two-layer tear-offs, damaged decking, multiple valleys and combined gutter or siding work can add time.
What does Lombard require for ice-and-water shield?
Lombard requires ice-and-water shield from the eaves to 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, plus 18 inches on each side of valleys. Those areas carry runoff, snowmelt and freeze-thaw stress, so Royal Craft prices the shield as its own line item.
Can Royal Craft help with storm damage documentation?
Yes. Royal Craft inspects the roof, photographs the damage, installs temporary protection when a leak is active, and writes a line-item estimate for your insurance adjuster. Your insurance carrier decides claim coverage.
