Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Goodings Grove
Full Roof Replacement
Most full replacements we do in Goodings Grove are on homes built between 1985 and 2005 - the boom years that filled Will County with tract housing. These houses are now hitting the 20-35 year mark where original 3-tab shingles simply expire, especially after repeated hail exposure from the southwest hail corridor. We handle the complete tear-off, deck inspection, and proper Will County permitting. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right - no paperwork, no arguing.
We recently replaced the original 1998 3-tab shingles on a colonial in the Huntington Chase subdivision. The customer’s attic showed evidence of ice-damming at the eaves; our tear-off revealed that the original install had skipped ice-and-water shield, a now-mandatory Will County requirement. We installed Owens Corning Duration STORM with full synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys. Done right - and if it’s not, we make it right.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles dominate Goodings Grove’s housing stock, and for good reason: they suit the 4/12-6/12 pitches found on nearly every colonial and raised-ranch in the area. We install CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas lines - proper materials, no substitutions. For homes in the hail corridor, we often recommend impact-rated architectural shingles that carry a Class 4 rating. The upgrade typically adds 15-20% to material cost but can reduce insurance premiums and prevent premature replacement after the next storm cycle.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing isn’t common in Goodings Grove’s original tract developments, but we’re seeing more homeowners on larger lots and newer construction opt for standing seam or metal shingle systems. Metal handles the freeze-thaw cycling and hail exposure better than asphalt over a 40-50 year lifespan. We install Boral and other authorized lines with proper ventilation detailing - critical on the unvented or poorly vented attic decks common in 1990s construction.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds in Goodings Grove’s remaining development pockets, we coordinate directly with builders and homeowners to specify materials that meet Will County’s current code, including ice-and-water shield requirements that weren’t standard when the surrounding neighborhoods went up. We pull permits through the Will County Land Use Department and schedule inspections to keep your build on track.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Goodings Grove Homes
- Hail-accelerated granule loss. Goodings Grove sits in a documented hail corridor where supercell storms tracking northeast frequently drop golf ball-sized hail before reaching Chicago. We’ve stripped roofs in Goodings Grove where the asphalt mat was exposed across 60% of the surface, yet homeowners didn’t realize the damage because the leaks hadn’t started. The flat, open terrain here offers no topographic protection.
- Flashing and edge failures from freeze-thaw cycling. A full continental Illinois winter means dozens of freeze-thaw cycles. On Goodings Grove’s aging housing stock, this attacks step flashing, drip edges, and the shingle courses closest to the gutters - especially on homes with unvented attic decks that stay cold and create ice dam conditions.
- Missing ice-and-water shield from original construction. Many Goodings Grove homes were built before modern Will County code required ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys. When we tear off a 1995 roof, we regularly find bare deck at the eaves - the exact location where ice dams cause the most damage. We bring every replacement up to current standard.
- Permit delays from out-of-area contractors. Because Goodings Grove is unincorporated Will County, roof replacements require permits directly through the Will County Land Use Department rather than a city building office - a step many Chicago-side contractors miss. Storm chasers who crossed the county line for hail work often discover this delay mid-job, leaving homeowners in limbo. We file Will County permits weekly and know the inspection schedule.

We install full ice-and-water shield on every replacement we do. No exceptions.
