Roof Replacement
A full roof replacement is a complete tear-off to the decking — not a layover — so we can inspect and repair any damaged sheathing before anything new goes down. Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, proper ridge ventilation, and premium GAF or CertainTeed materials on top. Most residential replacements in Chicagoland wrap in 1-2 days.
What's included
How Avilas handles it.
We tear off down to bare decking on every replacement, no exceptions — it's the only way to actually see what's underneath and catch rotted sheathing or old damage before it becomes your problem again in five years. From there: new underlayment, ice & water shield anywhere water tends to collect, ridge ventilation sized correctly for the attic, and a finish material picked to match the house. Daily site cleanup and magnetic nail sweeps are standard, not an upsell.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Chicagoland are completed in 1-2 days, weather permitting. Larger estates, cedar, or slate projects may take longer.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Chicagoland?
Most asphalt shingle replacements in the Chicago area run $7,500-$18,000 depending on size, pitch, layers being torn off, and material grade. Cedar shake, slate, metal, and copper roofs price higher. Every Avilas estimate is a written, line-item quote.
When should I replace instead of repair?
Roofs under 15 years old with isolated damage are usually great repair candidates. If your roof is 18+ years old, has widespread granule loss, sagging decking, or multiple leaks, replacement is almost always the smarter long-term spend.
