We’ve been replacing roofs in Bloomingdale since the mid-1980s, back when the village was still filling in the subdivisions off Gary Avenue and Army Trail Road. Pete Callahan started this company in 1984, and our crews have worked on the exact housing stock you’re living in: the 1970s ranches with their low pitches, the split-levels from the 1980s boom, the townhome clusters near Bryn Mawr. We know which developments used which original shingle batches, where the ice dams form, and how to get your HOA board what they need for approval. That matters when you’re trying to get a roof done once and not revisit it.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Bloomingdale
Full Roof Replacement
Most Bloomingdale roofs we’re replacing now are 30-50 years old, installed during the village’s two big build-out waves. The 1970s-80s single-family subdivisions and the 1980s-90s townhome associations are hitting end-of-life simultaneously. We handle everything from tear-off to final inspection, including the documentation your HOA or property management company requires. We replaced a 1980s-era 3-tab asphalt shingle roof on a ranch home on Fairfield Drive in the Westlake subdivision after a hailstorm left granule loss and exposed felt. Using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with a Class H wind rating, we reinforced the eaves with ice-and-water shield to combat the low-pitch ice dam risk typical of Bloomingdale’s glacial plain.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds in Bloomingdale’s remaining infill areas or major renovations, we install to current DuPage County code with proper ventilation, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and wind-rated materials that match what the village’s active hail corridor demands. We coordinate directly with your builder or architect and pull permits through the Bloomingdale building department so your certificate of occupancy isn’t held up.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
This is still the workhorse for Bloomingdale’s housing stock. We install CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas architectural shingles - never substitutions, never leftover inventory passed off as your first choice. For the low-pitched ranches common west of Gary Avenue, we specify higher-wind-rated shingles and enhanced underlayment because those roofs sit flat on the glacial plain and take the full force of Chicago’s spring storms with minimal natural air drainage.
Metal Roofing
Metal is gaining ground in Bloomingdale, especially among homeowners who’ve replaced asphalt twice and want something that outlasts the next hail cycle. We install standing-seam and metal shingle systems rated for the wind loads DuPage County sees. Important consideration for Bloomingdale: many HOA covenants written in the 1980s and 1990s specify “conventional roofing materials,” which boards sometimes interpret to exclude metal. We know how to present manufacturer documentation and color samples to get approval - we’ve done it for properties off Bryn Mawr and in the Stratford Square area.
Flat Roofing
Bloomingdale’s townhome and condo associations often have flat or low-slope sections over garages, porches, or connecting wings. We install TPO, modified bitumen, and EPDM systems with proper drainage planning. On multi-unit buildings, we coordinate phased replacement so no section is left exposed while the HOA board approves the next phase - a common failure point when property management companies delay decisions.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bloomingdale
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer lines: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Bloomingdale customers, we keep CertainTeed Landmark Pro and Owens Corning Duration shingles in regional supply, which means faster turnaround when a storm hits and half the village is calling for replacement at once. We don’t substitute. The brand on your estimate is the brand on your roof. That’s part of the square deal: the price we quote is the price you pay, and the materials we specify are the materials we install.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Bloomingdale Homes
- Hail damage on aging 3-tab shingles. DuPage County sits in an active hail corridor, and Bloomingdale’s 30-50-year-old roofs - many original to the 1970s-80s subdivisions - suffer granule loss that accelerates UV degradation. In developments built by single developers, entire blocks share identical shingle batches and wear patterns, so one verified hail claim often means neighbors need inspection too.
- Ice dam intrusion on low-pitch ranches. Bloomingdale’s flat glacial plain traps cold air, and the 1970s ranch homes with minimal pitch can’t shed snow load efficiently. Freeze-thaw cycles force water under improperly flashed eaves. We see rot along eave lines that homeowners don’t notice until interior staining appears.
- HOA approval delays on multi-unit roofs. Bloomingdale’s concentration of townhome and condo associations means shared roof sections often wait for board votes while water intrusion worsens. We provide the phased replacement plans, contractor insurance certificates, and manufacturer spec sheets that property managers need to move the process.
- Inadequate underlayment from original 1980s installs. Many Bloomingdale homes were roofed with felt underlayment that has degraded past usefulness. During replacement, we find decking damage that wasn’t visible from the ground - another reason we photograph everything and review it with you before proceeding.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Bloomingdale
Many do, especially the condo and townhome associations off Gary Avenue and Bryn Mawr Avenue built in the 1980s-90s. Most require ASTM D3161 Class F or Class H wind ratings, which we meet with GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark Pro, and Owens Corning Duration lines. We provide the manufacturer certification letters your board needs as part of our standard proposal. Call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll review your specific HOA documents before you spend anything - estimates are free.
The association typically contracts for the full shared section, not individual owners. We bid to the property management company or board, coordinate the scope with any active reserve study, and schedule replacement to minimize disruption to connected units. Because so many Bloomingdale associations delayed phased plans during COVID, we’re now handling catch-up replacements where multiple sections have reached failure simultaneously. We document each phase with photos for the board’s records.
We install ice-and-water shield along all eaves and in valleys, extend it 24 inches past the interior wall line per code, and specify ridge venting to equalize attic temperature. On the flattest ranches, we may recommend additional intake ventilation or a cold-roof assembly. Bloomingdale’s glacial plain geography means cold air pools, so passive ventilation design matters more here than in hillier terrain nearby. The fix isn’t just more insulation - it’s airflow geometry.
Some yes, some no. Covenants written in the 1970s-90s often reference “conventional roofing materials” or specify “architectural shingles.” We’ve successfully petitioned boards in the Westlake area and near Stratford Square by presenting metal roofing as a Class A fire-rated, impact-resistant upgrade that reduces long-term association maintenance costs. We bring color samples, wind-rating documentation, and photos of completed metal installations in comparable Chicago-area communities. If your covenants are ambiguous, we help you make the case.
Bloomingdale requires a building permit for all roof replacements, with inspections at pre-cover (decking/underlayment visible) and final. For HOA-governed properties, we also submit our certificate of insurance and manufacturer specifications to the property management company. Turnaround is typically 3-5 business days for permit issuance. We handle the paperwork; you don’t visit the village hall unless you want to. Call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll confirm current permit fees and inspection scheduling - both are included in our upfront pricing.
