Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. of Chicago Is Frankfort Square’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve been serving Will County homeowners since 1984, and Frankfort Square has been part of our territory for decades. The housing stock here - mostly 1970s and 1980s ranches and split-levels on mid-sized lots - is now hitting that critical point where original 3-tab asphalt shingles are failing well past their 20-25 year design life. We know what that looks like. We’ve replaced hundreds of these roofs.
Our customers in Frankfort Square find us the same way most do: a neighbor recommendation, or they called after another contractor didn’t pull proper permits. We maintain a strong local reputation built on showing up when we say, doing what we promise, and coming back if something needs adjustment. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means exactly that - if it’s not right, we make it right, with no paperwork and no arguing.
Response time to Frankfort Square is typically same-day or next-day for inspections, and we carry full stock of GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlas materials so we’re not waiting on deliveries. Pete Callahan, our owner, still reviews every major replacement estimate personally to make sure the scope matches what your roof actually needs, not what pads a commission.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Frankfort Square
Full Roof Replacement
A full roof replacement in Frankfort Square means tearing off to the deck, inspecting for moisture damage, and installing a complete system that meets Will County’s wind-load requirements. We see a lot of original OSB and board decking in this area that’s compromised from years of ice damming on low-pitch ranch rooflines. We don’t cover that up. We photograph the damage, show you what we found, and replace decking where needed before the new roof goes on. Our Frankfort Square jobs include full permit handling through Will County - we navigate the unincorporated jurisdiction so you don’t have to worry about compliance.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds and major additions in Frankfort Square, we install complete roofing systems from day one. Because Will County requires wind-rated installations and proper ice barrier coverage, we spec materials and fastening patterns that pass inspection the first time. We’ve worked with local builders on homes off Route 30 and in newer infill areas, and we coordinate directly with framers and inspectors to keep timelines on track.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Asphalt shingles remain the most common replacement in Frankfort Square, and we install GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Atlas StormMaster Slate lines - all with proper wind ratings for Will County. We recently replaced a 1970s ranch roof on Prestwick Drive where aging 3-tab asphalt shingles had split along the granule line after a freeze-thaw cycle. We installed GAF Timberline HDZ with wind-rated underlayment and sealed all flashing to meet Will County’s wind-load code, preventing the wind-driven rain infiltration that had plagued the original low-pitch roof. For Frankfort Square’s hail exposure, we often recommend impact-resistant shingle options that may qualify for insurance discounts, and we can help with Emergency & Storm Damage in Frankfort Square when severe weather strikes.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is gaining ground in Frankfort Square among homeowners who’ve replaced asphalt twice and want something that lasts. Standing seam metal handles hail better than standard shingles, sheds ice dam buildup more effectively, and carries 40-70 year warranties. We install Tamko and Boral metal systems with concealed fasteners that won’t back out under thermal cycling. On low-pitch ranch sections where shingles struggle, metal can be the smarter long-term investment, and we can pair it with Gutters & Accessories in Frankfort Square for complete water management.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Frankfort Square Homes
- Aging 3-tab shingles cracking along granule lines after freeze-thaw cycles. Frankfort Square’s 30-40 annual freeze-thaw cycles harden asphalt and create hairline fractures that widen into leaks. We see this most on south- and west-facing exposures where thermal cycling is most extreme.
- Moisture-damaged OSB decking beneath original shingles. The low-pitch rooflines common to Frankfort Square ranches don’t shed water as aggressively as steeper pitches, and decades of ice damming soften the nailing surface. We replace compromised decking - never roof over it.
- Unlicensed contractors skipping Will County permits. Because Frankfort Square is unincorporated, some out-of-area roofers don’t realize permits are required, or they bank on homeowners not knowing. We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and provide documentation for your records.
- Wind-driven rain infiltration at flashing and valleys. Will County’s wind-load code exists for a reason - we’ve seen too many cut-rate jobs where step flashing was too short or valley underlayment was omitted, leading to interior damage that shows up months later.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Frankfort Square
Yes. Because Frankfort Square is unincorporated, all roofing permits are issued by Will County’s building department, not a village authority. We handle the application, fee payment, and inspection scheduling as part of every job. Call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll verify your property’s jurisdiction and permit requirements before work begins.
Will County requires wind-rated installations that meet or exceed local code, which means proper underlayment, fastening patterns, and shingle specifications. We install GAF and Atlas systems rated for the wind exposure in this area, and we document compliance for your permit closure and insurance file. If you’re replacing after storm damage, proper wind rating is often required for claim approval.
Aging 3-tab asphalt shingles past their 20-25 year design life, compounded by freeze-thaw cracking and granule loss that accelerates in Will County’s climate. The low-pitch rooflines typical of 1970s ranch construction here don’t help - they hold snow and ice longer, and they allow wind-driven rain to push uphill under compromised shingles. We see this pattern constantly on Prestwick Drive, Braemar Lane, and throughout the 60423 area.
Yes. Standing seam metal roofing resists hail impact better than standard asphalt shingles, and it sheds ice dam buildup more effectively on the low-pitch sections common to Frankfort Square ranches. While no roof is hail-proof, metal’s longevity - 40-70 years versus 20-25 for asphalt - means you’re likely replacing due to age, not storm damage. We install Tamko and Boral metal systems with concealed fasteners and full underlayment.
Will County inspection windows typically run 3-7 business days in normal periods, but post-storm claim surges can extend that to 10-14 days or longer. Because Frankfort Square is unincorporated, we don’t have the option of faster village inspections available just across the line in incorporated Frankfort. We build buffer time into our scheduling and coordinate closely with county inspectors to minimize delays. If you’re filing an insurance claim, we recommend starting the permit process early - call (855) 641-3418 and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
