Illinois roofing contractors are required to obtain a license through the Department of Professional Regulation. Contractors need to be both bonded and insured to apply. Licenses can be for residential work, both residential and commercial/industrial work or for commercial and industrial work only.
There are a number of criteria you can use to find the best roofing contractor near you, including:
The cost of roof repair varies widely depending on what repairs need to be done. The average across all of Illinois is about $1,367, but to know for sure you should ask a local contractor directly.
Typically, homeowners in Illinois pay around $9,816 to replace a roof. This cost changes depending on where you live, and will be influenced by factors like the material used, how many stories your home has, and the size and accessibility of your roof.
Your roof needs a good cleaning about once annually. If you notice a buildup of mildew, leaves, mold, or moss (or if your yard has more trees), you or a professional may need to clean your roof more frequently.
The right roof can definitely help improve the energy efficiency of your home. A good roof helps keep heat in during the winter. This helps you save money on your energy bills.
