StormBear replaces worn-out shingle roofs and torch-down flat roofs for homes across Chicago and the nearby suburbs. Your next step is to book a free inspection so we can tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
For pitched roofs, we tear off the old roofing, repair the decking where needed, add ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, install synthetic underlayment and proper ventilation, and finish with architectural asphalt shingles in your choice of color. Cleanup includes a magnetic sweep for nails.
For flat roofs, we tear off the old roofing down to the deck, repair the decking where needed and assess drainage before installing torch-down: layered asphalt sheets heated with a torch to seal together and to the roof. We check property and local requirements before recommending a system.
Every job includes a written warranty with terms in your estimate; see our insurance claim guide for claim questions.
For a 1,000 sq ft shingle roof, the published typical range is $8,500 – $11,500. Final pricing is based on actual roof measurements taken on site, not the living area of the home.

“We are in the construction business and have done many works with Chris and his company. He is very reliable, always on time and fully explains every scope of work. Easy to work with and very reasonable price!”One damaged section does not automatically mean you need a whole new roof. We compare the extent of deterioration, recurring leak locations, and the condition of surrounding roofing before explaining the available options.
We install architectural asphalt shingles on pitched roofs and torch-down roofing on flat roofs. The recommendation takes the property, drainage, and applicable local requirements into account rather than treating every roof as the same.
Removing the old roofing can reveal wood damage that was hidden during the initial inspection. Needed decking repairs are explained so you understand how the condition affects the work and pricing.
Shingles need suitable temperatures to seal properly, and torch-down work depends on dry conditions, so cold or wet weather can affect scheduling. We discuss timing for your roof once the scope is set.
Ask about access, material staging, and the areas that need to remain clear around your home. Roofing work can involve noise and falling debris, so keep children and pets away from the work zone and discuss any driveway or entry concerns before installation begins.
