Metal Roof Replacement Chicago

Metal roofing is the longest-lasting option for Chicago homes. A properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years and requires minimal maintenance. Our verified contractors install standing seam and metal shingle systems on residential and commercial buildings throughout Chicago.

Metal roof replacement in Chicago costs $15,000 to $30,000 for most single-family homes depending on system type and roof complexity. Standing seam metal roofing costs $15 to $22 per square foot installed and is the premium option. Metal shingles that mimic the look of asphalt or slate cost slightly less. Metal roofs perform exceptionally well in Chicago winters. They shed snow without forming ice dams, unlike asphalt shingles where snow accumulation and freeze-thaw cycles cause granule loss. Metal roofing is also fire-resistant and wind-resistant up to 140 mph. The higher upfront cost is offset by the 40 to 70 year lifespan compared to 20 to 25 years for asphalt. For homeowners planning to stay in their home long term, metal is often the better long-term investment.
