“Had them put a metal roof on my garden shed out back, it's only about 10x12 but they treated it like a real job. Showed up on time, finished in a day, and the standing seam panels look way nicer than the old shingles that were falling apart.”
Metal Roof Installation
“We had a bay window on our 1920s house with a copper roof that had gone green and was leaking into the living room. Chicago Metal Roofing replaced the copper and matched the patina perfectly, honestly the bay window looks better than it did when we bought the place. Not cheap, but worth every penny.”
Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing
“Our old farm barn had a rusted-out metal roof that was beyond saving, so they tore it off and installed new corrugated panels over the whole thing. Crew of four knocked it out in two days and hauled away every last scrap of the old rusted tin. The barn's dry for the first time in years.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“Standing seam roof on our brick house, about 2,200 square feet, and the color match to the brick is exactly what we hoped for. Only gripe is they started a couple days later than quoted because of rain, but the crew was professional and the cleanup was spotless.”
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
“Had a nagging leak over our back bedroom every time it rained hard. They found the culprit was failing fasteners and a bad flashing detail around the chimney, fixed both, and it's been bone dry through two big storms since. Fast, fair, and no pressure to replace the whole roof.”
Metal Roof Leak Repair
“Went with the retrofit over our existing shingles instead of a full tear-off, and I'm so glad we did, saved us thousands and the house looks brand new. They added snow guards too, which I didn't even know I needed living in Chicago.”
Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit)
“We manage a six-unit residential building and the old metal roof was patched together with silicone and hope. Chicago Metal Roofing did a full replacement on the whole roof and coordinated everything around our tenants without a single complaint. Relieved doesn't even cover it.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“New stone-coated steel roof on our brick house and it looks like the fancy tile roofs you see in magazines, at a fraction of the cost. Crew was in and out in three days and swept the yard with a magnet for nails, my dog's paws thank them. Would use again in a heartbeat.”

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Chicago need a crew that understands this city's roofs from the inside out. Chicago Metal Roofing is a network of licensed, insured local contractors who install, replace, re-roof, and repair metal roofing across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We work on the steep gables and turrets of Beverly and Hyde Park, the low-slope bungalows of the Northwest and Southwest Sides, and the brick two-flats of Logan Square and Bridgeport.
Our crews serve Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, Cicero, Skokie, and the wider Cook County area. We know the heavy wet snow, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, hail, and derecho winds that punish roofs here, along with the falling limbs from the elm, maple, honeylocust, oak, and ash street trees. To get a straight read on your roof, request a free estimate.
Metal roofs fail for a handful of predictable reasons, and most of them are fixable. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as the EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack, letting water past the screw head. Seams separate as panels expand and contract with Chicago's temperature swings. Pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys fail at the sealant and metal transitions. Wind can lift and peel panels at the eaves and ridges, and fallen limbs puncture panels outright.
Ignoring a small leak is how a cheap repair becomes an expensive one. Water tracks along purlins and decking far from the entry point, soaking sheathing and insulation before you ever see a stain on the ceiling. By the time a drip shows up inside, the damage above it is usually wider than homeowners expect. That is why we trace the leak to its actual source rather than patching the first wet spot we find.
The honest repair-versus-replace call depends on the panel system, the deck, and how much of the roof is compromised. Often a full screw replacement with new fasteners and sealing washers restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. Call (872) 242-4810 for metal roof leak repair, or contact us to schedule an inspection.
We install the full range of metal systems and match the roof to the home, not the other way around. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and no exposed screws, which makes it the premium choice for snow shedding and long service life. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for garages, workshops, and outbuildings. Metal Shingle Roofing and Stone-Coated Steel Roofing suit homes where the look matters as much as the durability, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing handles bays, turrets, and accents.
Here is the straight comparison: standing seam costs more up front and has no exposed screws to maintain. Screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners serviced over its life. Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate option when the deck is sound, and a full tear-off is the right call when it is not.
Metal roofing is typically quoted per square foot, while repairs are often flat-rate. Pricing depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. We do not publish fixed prices because the same square footage can price very differently on a steep gable versus a low-slope bungalow roof. Final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions.
Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer. For typical ranges and how we quote, see our pricing page, then request a free estimate or free roof inspection.
If a storm damages your roof, we inspect it and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise a claim will be approved. On permits, we stay informational: in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and historic district or HOA design review can affect panel profile and color choices.
We do not state thresholds, fees, or layer limits as fact because they change and must be verified locally. Requirements vary, always verify with the Chicago building or planning department before starting your project. For questions about your roof, contact us.
