Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois 104.019255, Iowa C147349, and Wisconsin DC-022300173. You don’t want a fly-by-night contractor that, in many cases, leaves your roof in worse condition than it was or just takes the down payment and runs.

Elevated Roofing offers an industry-leading workmanship guarantee up to 20-years. Meaning, if there is ever an issue, we will make it right at no cost to you. CertainTeed, Decra, and EcoStar are industry-leading manufacturers that offer warranties of up to 50 years on roofing materials, which, in some cases, is the lifetime of the roof.

The best way to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement is with a professional inspection. We assess your roof’s condition and provide the most practical solution that fits your budget and long-term needs. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it is often the more cost-effective option rather than making repeated repairs. For storm-damaged roofs, insurance companies typically require repairs if less than 30% of the roof is affected. If the damage exceeds 30%, they will likely recommend a full replacement to ensure long-term protection.

The life expectancy of CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofs varies based on the type of shingle: Strip Shingles (3-Tab) – Typically last 20-25 years, depending on climate and maintenance. These are the most affordable but have the shortest lifespan. Architectural Shingles (Dimensional/Laminate) – Expected to last 25-30 years, with some premium lines lasting up to 40 years. These offer better durability and wind resistance. Luxury Shingles (Designer/Premium) – Can last 30-50 years, thanks to their heavyweight construction and superior materials. These provide the highest durability, impact resistance, and curb appeal. The life expectancy of other types of roofs ranges widely: Metal roofs last 40-70 years Wood (cedar shake shingles) last 20-40 years Slate roofs last 75+ years Proper installation, ventilation, and routine maintenance can help maximize the lifespan of any roof.

The timeline for your roofing project depends on several factors, including roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. However, in most cases, a standard roof replacement is completed in just one to two days. This includes cleaning up! Before we begin, we’ll provide you with a clear timeline so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to complete the job efficiently and with minimal disruption, so your home is back to normal as quickly as possible!

Here’s how to make the best choice: Get multiple quotes – Aim for at least three estimates from reputable contractors. If a quote is significantly lower, they may be cutting corners. If it’s too high, they could be overcharging. Check reputation & reviews – Look for customer testimonials, online reviews, and local references to ensure the company has a solid track record. Verify licensing & insurance – A trustworthy contractor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide proof upon request. Look for professionalism – A legitimate contractor typically has branded trucks, uniforms, and a well-organized process for handling your project. Assess communication & trust – Go with a company that answers your questions clearly, explains your options, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decision. A great roofing contractor should offer quality work, transparency, and reliability—not just the lowest price. Do your research and choose wisely!
