Des Plaines is a town of solid brick ranches and bungalows, many built in the 1950s and 60s, sitting on flat lots just north of O'Hare and a short drive from the Des Plaines River. If you live near Maine West High School or along Miner Street, you know how spring storms roll through and test every roof on the block.

Homeowners in 60016 call Chicago Metal Roofing because we understand the local housing stock and the weather that hits it. From the older neighborhoods near the river to the newer subdivisions off Golf Road, we have seen how heavy wet snow and ice dams can wreck a roof.

Metal Roofing in Des Plaines (60016)

Des Plaines sits on flat glacial plain with heavy clay soil, and that means drainage is always a concern. Many homes here have low-slope roofs that struggle with standing water after a heavy rain. The mature elm and maple trees that line streets like Prairie Avenue drop limbs and fill gutters, leading to ice dams at the eaves in winter. Brick ranches and Cape Cods often have shallow pitches that are tricky for standard shingles, but metal roofing handles them well. We also see a lot of two-flats and older cottages near downtown that need careful flashing work around chimneys and skylights. Our crews are used to tight lot access and steep grades, and we know how to protect your landscaping while we work.

We have been serving Des Plaines and the surrounding Chicago area for years, and we have worked on everything from simple leak repairs to full standing seam installations. Our team is fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, so you are covered from start to finish.

Our crews are trained to work efficiently on tight lots and around mature trees, and we always keep your property protected.

Pricing for metal roofing in Des Plaines depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure. For a typical ranch home, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10 per square foot, and metal roof replacement at $9 per square foot. If you are retrofitting over existing shingles, that starts at $7 per square foot. Smaller repairs, like fixing a leak or replacing screws, start at $450 and $750 respectively. We also offer free estimates for storm damage and inspections, so call us at (872) 242-4810 to get a precise quote for your home.

My brick ranch near Maine West High School has a low-pitch roof that leaks every spring. Can metal roofing help?

Yes, metal roofing is an excellent choice for low-pitch roofs. The panels are designed to shed water quickly, and we can install them with a proper underlayment and flashing to prevent leaks. Many homes in that area have shallow roofs that are prone to ice dams, and metal roofing with snow guards can reduce that risk.

A storm just knocked a limb onto my roof and I have an active leak. How fast can you get to Des Plaines?

We offer free inspections for storm damage and can usually get to you within 24 to 48 hours. For emergencies, call us at (872) 242-4810 and we will prioritize your call. We will tarp the area if needed and provide a permanent repair as soon as possible.

What is the typical cost for a metal roof replacement on a 1,500-square-foot home in Des Plaines?

For a home that size, a basic metal roof replacement might start around $9 per square foot, so roughly $13,500, but the exact price depends on the material, roof complexity, and whether we need to remove existing layers. We provide free estimates so you can get an accurate number.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Des Plaines, and how do I get one?

Yes, roofing permits are typically required for a full replacement in Des Plaines. The rules and fees can vary, so it is best to check with the city directly. We can help you navigate the process and often pull the permit for you. You can find more information on the City of Des Plaines website.

My neighbor and I share a property line, and I want to make sure my new metal roof does not cause drainage issues on their side. What should I do?

It is important to check your property lines and ensure that your roof drainage does not flow onto a neighbor's property. We can help you design a gutter system that directs water away from the property line. If you are in an HOA, you may also need approval for the roof style and color, and we can provide documentation to help with that.

Are you fully insured for roofing work in Des Plaines?

Yes, we carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for all our crews. We are happy to provide proof of insurance before we start any work, so you can have peace of mind.

What maintenance does a metal roof need in Des Plaines to handle the winter?

Metal roofs are low maintenance, but in Des Plaines it is smart to check for loose fasteners and clear debris from gutters before winter. We recommend an annual inspection, especially after heavy storms, to catch any issues early. We also offer snow guard installation to prevent ice dams and keep snow from sliding off unexpectedly.
