Asphalt shingle, metal standing-seam, synthetic slate. GAF Certified install, 50-year non-prorated warranty, and a crew that treats the tear-off and underlayment with the same care as the finish shingle.
A Chicago-area roof lives through hail in July, ice dams in January, and 60-mph lake-effect gusts all winter. It's not a surface — it's a system. A 30-year roof is the one where every layer is right: the deck, the ice-and-water shield, the synthetic underlayment, the starter strip, the drip edge, the ridge vent, and the shingle itself.
Every residential install from us ships the full system. No shortcuts at the eave. No felt paper "to save money." No skipping the starter strip.
We don't carry every brand. We carry the three that hold up in the Midwest and that we can warranty against manufacturer defect.
The GAF Golden Pledge warranty is only available through GAF Certified Residential installers. It covers material and workmanship for 50 years — and the workmanship portion transfers to the next homeowner. That is the single strongest residential warranty in North American roofing.
