Roofing in Illinois

Much of Illinois falls in the snow and freeze-thaw country. Common roof problems include:

• Ice dams that push water under shingles at the eaves.
• Heavy snow loads on older or low-slope roofs.
• Freeze-thaw cycles that crack flashing and sealants.

Asphalt shingles with an ice-and-water barrier along the eaves are the norm, and metal roofs shed snow well. Good attic insulation and ventilation matter as much as the shingles.

Checking a roofer's license in Illinois

Licensing rules for roofers differ by state and sometimes by city or county. Ask every contractor for their license number and look it up with the Illinois licensing authority or your local building department before you sign. Our roofer checklist covers the rest.
