Roof Replacement
Owens Corning Duration with SureNail technology or CertainTeed Landmark with NailTrak for reliable fastening in high-wind zones. Both meet ASTM D3462 and carry Class A fire ratings per UL 790. In Illinois, we recommend the high-wind versions rated to ASTM D7158 Class H, which is 130 mph wind warranty. Full system install qualifies for Owens Corning Preferred Protection or CertainTeed SureStart Plus warranty.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Nora homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only damage one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated claims get denied.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel standing seam panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stress on the fasteners. That's why standing seam doesn't leak. The clips float.

GAF Timberline HDZ. The best-selling shingle in North America. With StrikeZone nailing area for consistent fastener placement. Class A fire rating per UL 790, Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218 (when installed in the GAF Roof System), and Class H wind rating per ASTM D7158 (130 mph). We install Timberline in the full GAF system to qualify for Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year non-prorated workmanship plus 50-year materials with WindProven limited wind warranty (no max speed). That warranty is why we recommend GAF for most Nora homes.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Need a commercial roof coating? Silicone coatings over existing TPO, EPDM, or metal extend life 10-15 years for a third of replacement cost. Not every roof qualifies. The existing membrane needs to be in decent shape. We core sample and moisture scan to verify before we recommend it.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Nora. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Nora: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.
Get a Free Quote →Roof Inspection
After a storm, our inspection documents hail hits, wind damage, lifted shingles, and cracked components for your insurance claim. We take measurements, count damage per test square, and prepare a report your adjuster can use. Free for Nora homeowners. We only charge if you hire us for the repair.

When a tree goes through your roof at 2 AM, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up with a truck full of materials. Call (877) 349-1553. We handle roofing emergencies in Nora 7 days a week, including holidays.

Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
