Do I need roof repair or replacement?
There are two different types of residential roofing: roof repair and roof replacement. Roof repair involves fixing a damaged section of the roof. Roof replacement involves completely tearing off the old roofing system and installing a new one.
Repair is a good option when the damage to your roof is limited to one spot. For example, if you’re missing one section of shingles or a hole is causing your roof to leak, you will want to opt for roof repair.
Conversely, you need replacement if the roof damage is widespread, or the roof is multiple decades old. In these instances, roof replacement is essential for keeping your roof structurally sound.
Our team will help you determine which service makes the most sense for you. We provide both roof repair and roof replacement for homes throughout Chicagoland.
Has hail damaged my roof?
One of the most common ways roofs receive widespread damage is from hailstorms. That’s why it’s important to know what hail damage on a roof looks like. If you notice a random assortment of inch-wide dents on your roof, then there’s a good chance you’ve received hail damage. These dents are often soft to the touch and leave the underlayment exposed beneath the shingles.
You can also safely inspect for signs of hail damage from the ground by checking your siding and downspouts for dents.
How do I know if my roof is too old?
How often you should replace your roof will depend on the type of roofing material you have. Most roofs have asphalt shingles, which typically last 20-30 years before needing replacement. Other materials, such as residential metal roofing last significantly longer.
Warning signs your roofing system is too old include multiple missing or damaged shingles, a sagging roof and water damage or leaks inside the home.
Will insurance help cover my residential roofing project?
Insurance companies will usually help cover the costs of a new roof if there is sufficient evidence that a storm has damaged the roof. However, if the roof was not installed properly or is more than a decade old, then you probably won’t receive as much coverage.
The best way to get the insurance coverage you’re entitled to is to hire the best residential roofing company near Chicago. At Renowned Building Solutions, we have licensed public adjusters on staff who can thoroughly inspect your roof and meet with the insurance company for you to ensure you receive the coverage you deserve.

What sets your company apart from other residential roofing contractors?
The mission of our roofing company is to bring integrity back to the roofing industry. Unfortunately, some contractors have given our industry a bad name. They care more about getting paid and completing the roof as quickly as possible than the customers they’re serving.
We’re flipping that on its head by putting the customer’s needs first throughout the roofing project. We do this by staying in close communication with customers throughout the project and refusing to cut corners. As a result, you will always receive the highest quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service from our team.
