The Difference Between New Construction & Roof Replacement Installation

Chicago homeowners come to us for two distinct types of roof installation, and understanding the difference helps set the right expectations for your project.

New Construction Roof Installation is for homes or commercial buildings being built from the ground up. Because there is no existing structure to work around, we have full flexibility to design and integrate the ideal roofing system from day one — optimizing ventilation, material selection, and structural alignment for long-term performance.

Roof Replacement Installation is for existing homes where the current roof has reached the end of its serviceable life, suffered storm or hail damage, or developed systemic issues that make full replacement more cost-effective than continued repairs. We remove the existing system completely and install a new one built to current standards and materials.

Both services are performed by the same licensed, experienced Aegis team using the same high-quality materials and the same 10-year warranty. Not sure which one you need? Call us at (773) 812-3447, and we will help you figure it out.

Roofing Systems We Install

We offer a full range of residential roofing systems for both new construction and replacement projects throughout Chicago and the suburbs. Our team helps you choose the right material based on your home’s design, your budget, and the specific demands of the Midwest climate.

Asphalt Shingles

The most popular roofing choice for Chicago homeowners. Asphalt shingles provide a cost-effective balance of durability, curb appeal, and weather resistance. Available in a wide range of colors and styles, they are designed to handle Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and heavy rain.

Architectural and Impact-Resistant Shingles

For homeowners looking for added protection against hail and severe weather, impact-resistant shingles offer enhanced performance and may qualify for homeowner’s insurance discounts. A smart upgrade for Chicago’s storm-prone environment.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing delivers exceptional longevity, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather. With a lifespan of 40 to 70 years and near-zero maintenance, metal is an excellent long-term investment for Chicago homes.

Tile Roofing

Clay and concrete tile roofs offer a distinctive, upscale appearance with excellent durability and fire resistance. Ideal for homeowners with specific architectural styles who want a roof that lasts generations.

Slate Roofing

A premium natural material valued for its beauty and unmatched lifespan. Slate is the right choice for high-end homes where longevity and aesthetics are the top priority.

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake delivers a natural, rustic look with solid insulation properties. Best suited for homeowners who want character and charm alongside solid weather performance.

Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Systems

For modern home designs or sections of the home with low-slope rooflines, we install specialized flat roofing systems built for effective drainage and long-term protection. We also handle flat roof installation for commercial properties through our commercial roofing division.

If you’re planning a new roof installation in Elmhurst, Villa Park, Lombard, Naperville, or the surrounding Chicago suburbs, Aegis delivers expert guidance and high-quality craftsmanship for every roofing system we install.

Our Roof Installation Process

At Aegis, our residential roof installation process is designed to deliver precision, durability, and long-term performance for every new Chicago home we work on. From initial planning to final inspection, we take a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure your new roof is built to the highest standards.

Initial Consultation & Project Planning

Every project starts with a free roofing inspection. We review your home’s current condition, discuss your goals and budget, and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For replacements, we use drone inspection technology to document the existing roof condition before recommending a course of action.

Material Selection

We guide you through the best roofing options for your home, climate performance requirements, and budget. You will see samples, understand the differences, and make a confident decision before any work begins.

Structural Preparation

Before installation begins, we ensure the roof deck is sound and properly prepared. This includes installing high-quality underlayment, moisture barriers, and ice-and-water shield in the critical zones that Chicago’s climate demands.

Professional Installation

Our experienced installation crew executes every component, from flashing and field shingles to ridge vents and drip edge, according to manufacturer specifications and Illinois building codes. We treat every home with the same care and precision regardless of project size.

Final Inspection & Quality Assurance

Once installation is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection of every section of the new roof. We verify ventilation, sealing, and flashing integration, and we do not consider the job done until the site is fully cleaned and you are satisfied with the result.

Benefits of New Roof Installation

Investing in a new roof installation provides long-term advantages that go far beyond basic protection. Because the system is designed and installed as part of the original build, it delivers superior performance, efficiency, and value from the very beginning.

Built for Long-Term Performance from Day One

With new construction roofing, every component is installed under ideal conditions without the limitations of an existing structure. This allows for a stronger, more reliable system that is built to last and perform consistently over time.

Improved Energy Efficiency & Ventilation

A properly designed roofing system includes optimized ventilation and insulation from the start. This helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and prevent issues like heat buildup and moisture damage, especially important in the changing climate of the Chicago suburbs.

Lower Maintenance Costs Over Time

Because everything is installed brand new and to current standards, new construction roofs typically require fewer repairs and less maintenance compared to older or retrofitted systems. This translates into long-term savings and fewer unexpected issues.

Full Manufacturer Warranties

New roof installations often qualify for full manufacturer warranties, covering both materials and, in some cases, workmanship. This added protection provides peace of mind knowing your investment is backed for years to come.

Better Structural Integration vs. Retrofits

Unlike roof replacements, which must work around an existing structure, new construction roofing is fully integrated into the home’s design. This results in better alignment, improved durability, and a more cohesive system that supports the overall integrity of the property.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After hail damage hit our roof, we called Aegis Construction, it turned out to be one of the smoother home repair experiences we've had, and that's saying something when insurance is involved. Our rep, Zach Greenberger, walked us through every step of the claims process and was always available when we had questions. They had a huge selection of high quality materials to choose from, showed up exactly when they said they would, and the crew did beautiful, clean work from start to finish. They even managed to sneak in a few upgrades to the house while still keeping everything within what our insurance covered. Aegis actually has a real facilities and offices, right here in Elmhurst and Villa Park, so you know they're not disappearing after a storm rolls through. Highly recommend them for any roofing or gutter work, hail damage or any other exterior projects you might have.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first phone call, my experience with Aegis Construction Group, Inc. has been exceptional. A few months ago, Mike came out to inspect my roof, and I was incredibly impressed with how thorough, honest, and professional he was. He took the time to carefully inspect everything and reassured me that my roof was in great shape. I truly appreciated that he wasn’t trying to sell me something I didn’t need. Unfortunately, our area has been hit hard with several severe storms since then, including another one after Mike’s inspection. I called Jake, the manager, to share my concerns, and without hesitation, he immediately arranged for someone to come back out and inspect my roof again just to make sure no new damage had occurred. That level of customer service is hard to find. The entire team genuinely cares about homeowners and goes above and beyond to provide honest advice, peace of mind, and outstanding service. It’s easy to see why Aegis Construction Group has so many glowing reviews, they’ve certainly earned them. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive roofing company, I can’t recommend Aegis Construction Group, Inc. enough. Thank you to Mike, Jake, and the entire team for your professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer care!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After many attempts on finding a roofing company, Aegis was the only one to respond to my calls. Not only did they respond, but they did responded right away! I forgot who I talked to first but he was very responsive to me even during a difficult time he was going through. From there he sent over one of his guys to help me. I was helped by Bryan. He always kept in touch with me on what the plan was. He was on top of it. He also explained how some insurance companies worked and guided me throughout the whole process. While we were waiting for the shingles to arrive, they tarped the area of the roof that was damaged. I forgot who worked on my roof but he was done within an hour or so. Granted, it was a few shingles that had to be replaced. They also noticed my front siding was missing a piece and offered to fix it up as well. Amazing work and customer service from all the guys here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been involved with public project management for 40 years, and my experience with Aegis Construction Group (for my personal home roof and gutter replacement caused by hail damage) by far is one of the best contractor’s, especially Nico Buccieri, that I’ve worked with that included but not limited to: initial roof inspection, acceptance of Owner requested contractual terms & conditions, worker safety (OSHA compliance), contract administration/documentation (addendums, owner initiated change orders, waiver of liens, invoices, etc), insurance administration/cost negotiations, ethical, subcontractor management, material options, overall client communication,  quality of workmanship and fair pricing. Based on my specific experience I would consider rehiring Aegis for any future work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a bad August storm we had our roof replaced. Howard from Aegis walked us through the insurance claims process and was in constant contact. Great guy to work with and enjoyable to talk to.  Moshi was great as well.  They both made the whole process seamless. Very glad I went with Aegis and I highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aegis replaced my roof, soffits, gutters and downspouts.  The quality of work,  quality of products used, their amazing construction crews, the clean up, the finished product and communication during the construction was so much better than l anticipated.  If possible l would give them more than 5 stars.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need your roof done, go with Carmen Curio (with Aegis Construction Group ) .  He has my highest recommendation. He has been diligently working through my situation with me since October(!), helping me through each phase of the process.  I don't want to go into too much detail here, but it all began when he alerted me to some red flags that were so disheartening at the time, but really ended up saving me a LOT of money and hassles in the long run.  Every time I text him, he replies promptly and never gives the impression that I'm annoying him...even though my friends all know how annoying I actually am. The roof is done, but the insurance process is not...and he is still going the extra mile to help me through it (even though Aegis Construction has been paid and Carmen has nothing really left to gain financially).  I feel like most people/companies in the same position just move on to the next paycheck, providing the "extra mile" only to secure the job.  This, in and of itself, speaks volumes about him and Aegis.  They are the real deal.  Thank you, Carmen.  I know I'm not your friend, but you're a friend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel your new website is most impressive, covering all questions a perspective buyer would be thinking. When mentioning siding, towns are mentioned...then it is stated plus...."surrounding towns ". What would those towns be? Might become a make or break it for customer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100% recommend Aegis!! We had hail damage to our roof right before an out-of-state move, and gave Aegis a call to help us out.  Kenny and Rae handled all the back and forth with insurance, worked hard to get us a fair adjustment, and provided us photos and updates along the way.  The work was done very promptly, and they made a very stressful situation as smooth as could be.
