Arlington Heights is classic northwest Cook County: mid-century brick ranches and Cape Cods on tidy lots, with mature maples and elms that drop limbs on roofs every time a front rolls through. The housing stock around 60004 was built to last, but the original low-slope roofs and worn flashing are now decades old, and ice dams at the eaves are a familiar winter headache.
That's where Chicago Metal Roofing comes in. We're a local crew that knows the difference between a quick patch and a real fix, and we've helped homeowners from the Arlington Heights downtown train station area to the streets near Camelot Park make the switch to metal. Whether you're dealing with a leaky chimney flashing or planning a full standing seam retrofit, we give you a straight answer and a written estimate.
Metal Roofing in Arlington Heights (60004)
Most of the homes we see in Arlington Heights are 1950s and 1960s ranches and Cape Cods with low-pitched roofs, often with a hip or a shallow gable. The original asphalt shingles are near the end of their life, and the flashing around chimneys and skylights is usually the first thing to go. Because the lots are flat and the soil is heavy clay, water doesn't drain away quickly, so we pay close attention to gutters and downspouts. In the older neighborhoods near Recreation Park and along Euclid Avenue, mature trees hang over the roofs, which means falling limbs and leaf debris are a constant source of trouble. We often recommend a metal roof over shingles (retrofit) for these homes because it saves the cost of tearing off the old roof and adds a layer of protection against ice dams. Our team has been working in Arlington Heights and the surrounding Chicago suburbs for years, and we know the local building department's permit process and what it takes to get a project approved quickly.
Our experience serving Arlington Heights and the Chicago area means we've seen every kind of roof problem this climate can throw at a house: heavy wet snow, freeze-thaw cycles, hail, and summer storms that send branches through shingles. We use that experience to recommend the right metal roofing system for your home, whether it's a standing seam roof that sheds snow or a stone-coated steel roof that matches the look of the original shingles.

How a Job Works in Arlington Heights
Step 1: Call us at (872) 242-4810 or fill out our online form to schedule a free on-site assessment. We'll come out to your Arlington Heights property, inspect the roof and attic, and talk through your options. You'll get a written estimate with a clear scope of work and pricing before any work begins.
Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we'll pull the required permits from the City of Arlington Heights and schedule the work. For a metal roof over shingles, we'll prepare the existing roof, install new underlayment and flashing, and then install the metal panels. If your home is in a historic district or has HOA rules, we'll help you get the necessary approvals. We know that tight lots in older neighborhoods can make access tricky, so we plan for that ahead of time.
Step 3: After the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you're satisfied. We leave your property clean and your new roof ready for whatever the Chicago weather brings.
Metal roofing in Arlington Heights is priced by the square foot, and the final cost depends on the material, the complexity of your roof, and whether we're doing a retrofit or a full tear-off. For a typical ranch home, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, metal roof replacement at $9, and a metal roof over shingles at $7. Smaller jobs like leak repairs start at $450, and screw replacement starts at $750. We also offer free estimates for storm damage inspections.
