Frequently Asked Roofing Questions In Illinois
Labor Costs
How much does roofing labor cost in Illinois compared to nearby states?
Illinois roofing labor typically falls in the $200‑$300 range per roofing square with an uptick in Chicago and on winter‑time or steep‑roof projects. That puts the states rates 10‑25 % above those in neighboring Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky and roughly on par with, or a touch higher, than, Wisconsin and Michigan a gap driven by steeper urban fees, union labor premiums and higher permit costs. Weather & Climate Considerations
How does Illinois's weather affect roof lifespan?
In the Prairie State roofs are put through a gauntlet of 36, 40 inches of rain and melted snow each year. Snowfall swings from 20 inches in the southern counties to well over 40 inches, near Chicago. Spring often hurls hail. Unleashes fierce gusts and a tornado’s touch can even yank shingles clean off. Summer’s blistering sun and UV barrage slowly eat away at roofing materials while the relentless freeze‑thaw rhythm cracks surfaces and spawns ice dams. What is the most common cause of roof damage in Illinois?
In Illinois roof damage often comes from severe weather, especially the spring and summer thunderstorms that drop hail and unleash high winds cracking or tearing shingles and ripping off flashing. Fallen trees also add to the destruction. What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Illinois?
Across Illinois the optimal window for roof replacement runs from spring into early fall, roughly May through September, when daytime temperatures habitually climb above 45 °F allowing shingles to seal properly while snow, freeze‑thaw cycles and the worst of summer storms have largely receded. In the lake‑effect‑prone suburbs of Chicago stay alert, to lingering moisture patterns and in southern Illinois steer clear of the peak July heat and its attendant lightning storms. Insurance & Storms
How common are storm-related roof claims in Illinois?
Storm‑related roof claims are a sight in Illinois with a pronounced surge in the spring and summer after bouts of hail, wind and tornadoes. The Chicagoland area and the northern counties tend to generate a volume of these claims while southern Illinois experiences spikes that line up, with the tornado season. The frequency of filings usually depends on the roof’s age and its construction material. It isn’t unusual for homeowners to file a claim every few years after a major storm. What natural disasters in Illinois cause the most roof replacements?
In Illinois the bulk of roof replacements stem from hail and tornadoes while straight‑line wind events, most notably the August 2020 Midwest derecho, also rip through shingles. Seasonal ice and heavy wet snow add their wear and when severe storms topple trees the demand for new roofs spikes especially, in the Chicago suburbs and the farm‑filled heartland of central Illinois.
