Roof Repair in Elmhurst, IL

Most of the roofs we repair in Elmhurst fail at the same handful of points, and almost none of them are visible from the driveway. Freeze-thaw cycling through a Chicago-area winter works fasteners loose and lifts shingle edges. Spring hail moves through DuPage County and leaves bruising in the shingle mat that does not leak until the following season. Wind gets under an already-lifted edge and takes a course of shingles with it.

We provide roof repair for both residential and commercial properties in Elmhurst, and we scope every repair off an inspection rather than a guess. Our repair work covers:

Leaks and water intrusion at valleys, chimneys, and roof penetrations
Missing, cracked, lifted, or hail-bruised shingles
Failed or separated flashing at walls, dormers, and skylights
Wind and storm damage across a partial roof section
Ridge vent and ventilation repairs
Deteriorated pipe boots and rubber collars, the most common single source of a slow leak

We repair the cause, not just the symptom. If a repair will buy you five to seven more years, we will tell you that. If the roof is past the point where a repair is a responsible recommendation, we will tell you that too, and show you the drone footage that backs it up.

Emergency Roof Repair and Roof Tarping

When a storm opens up a roof, the priority is stopping water before it reaches drywall and insulation. Aegis provides emergency roof repair and roof tarping in Elmhurst, with crews dispatched from our Villa Park main office roughly ten minutes away.

We tarp and secure the affected section, document the damage with photographs and measurements the same visit, and schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow. Emergency tarping is treated as the first step of the claim file, not a separate transaction, so nothing has to be re-documented later.

Roof Leak Repair

A roof leak almost never originates directly above the stain on your ceiling. Water tracks along decking and rafters before it finds a drywall seam, which is why leak repair starts with locating the actual entry point.

Our drone inspection captures the full roof surface at high resolution, including the areas nobody wants to walk in February, and we trace the water path from the entry point down. On Elmhurst homes, the usual suspects are aging pipe boots, flashing at a dormer or chimney transition, and valley metal that has rusted through under the shingles.

Residential Roof Repair on Older Elmhurst Homes

Elmhurst has an unusual housing mix for the western suburbs, and it changes the repair conversation. A large share of the housing stock west of York Street and through the older neighborhoods predates 1950. Those homes often have steeper pitches, original board decking rather than plywood or OSB, undersized or absent ventilation, and two or three existing layers of shingles.

That matters for a repair for three reasons. Board decking can be deteriorated underneath an intact-looking shingle surface. Multiple existing layers mean a repair blends poorly, and a future replacement will require a full tear-off rather than an overlay. And a roof with no working ventilation will keep cooking shingles from underneath no matter how well the repair is executed, which is why we check the soffit and ridge before we quote.

The teardown and rebuild activity of the past two decades created the other half of the picture. Newer Elmhurst construction carries larger rooflines with more valleys, dormers, and transitions, and those transitions are where roofs fail first. They are the first place we look.

Roof Replacement and Installation in Elmhurst, IL

When repairs are no longer protecting the structure, a full roof replacement is the better long-term investment. We handle material selection, permitting, scheduling, and cleanup, and we back every full replacement with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Our Elmhurst roof installation work includes:

Architectural and impact-resistant asphalt shingle systems
Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, which is not optional on an Illinois roof
Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation, corrected during replacement when the original build was short on either
Full decking inspection with replacement of any deteriorated sheathing
Manufacturer-certified installation through GAF, Owens Corning, and Firestone, which unlocks extended material warranties

Most Elmhurst residential replacements are completed in one to three days depending on roof size, pitch, and layer count.

Tear-Off Replacement vs. Re-Roofing

Tear-off replacement strips the roof to the decking before the new system goes on. It costs more and takes longer, and it is the only option that lets us find and correct hidden decking damage, ventilation problems, and flashing failures. On pre-1950 Elmhurst homes with board decking or multiple existing layers, it is almost always the correct call.

Re-roofing, or an overlay, installs a new shingle layer over the existing one. It is faster and less expensive, and it is limited to roofs with a single existing layer, sound decking, and no active moisture problem. Illinois code and most manufacturer warranties cap total layers at two.

We inspect the decking and count existing layers before quoting, so you are not finding out mid-project that an overlay was never actually available.

Storm, Hail, and Wind Damage Roof Repair in Elmhurst

Hail and straight-line wind move through DuPage County most springs and summers, and the damage is frequently invisible from the ground. Bruised shingles, fractured mats, lifted courses, and loosened flashing do not announce themselves until the next heavy rain finds them.

We inspect the full roof and exterior after a storm, document every point of damage with dated photographs and measurements, and repair with materials rated to hold up through the next event. Our storm response covers hail damage, wind damage, storm damage roof repair, emergency tarping, and full storm-related replacement.

Insurance Claim Support for Elmhurst Homeowners

Most storm damage roofing work in Elmhurst runs through an insurance claim, and the outcome usually comes down to documentation. We photograph and measure the full scope of the loss, meet your adjuster on site, and provide the supporting evidence in the format carriers expect.

We do not negotiate your claim for you, and any contractor who says they will should give you pause. What we do is make sure the claim reflects the actual scope of the damage rather than a windshield estimate from the curb. Read more about our insurance claim support.

Roofing Services FAQs

How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?

Signs like leaks, missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, or visible wear may indicate your roof needs attention. A professional inspection from Aegis can determine whether a repair will resolve the issue or if a full replacement is the better long-term solution.

What can I expect during a free roof inspection?

Do you help with storm damage insurance claims?

Yes, Aegis assists with the insurance claims process by documenting storm-related damage and providing the necessary information to support your claim. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible while ensuring you receive the coverage you deserve.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements can be completed within one to a few days, depending on the size of the roof, materials used, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but our team works efficiently to minimize disruption while maintaining high-quality results.

Do you handle roofs on older Elmhurst homes?

Yes. Many homes near Downtown Elmhurst and the Wilder Park area date to the 1920s through 1950s and have steeper pitches, original decking, or multiple existing shingle layers. Our inspections check decking condition and layer count before we recommend a tear-off versus an overlay.

 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.
