Roof Replacement FAQ for Chicago

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements take 1–3 days, depending on size and weather.

Can I install new shingles over the old roof?

An overlay is cheaper but usually not recommended. Most building codes allow at most two layers, and overlays hide deck damage.

Is a metal roof worth the cost?

Metal costs roughly 2–3× asphalt but lasts 40–70 years and can lower insurance in some regions.
