Why Choose Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become a popular choice for homeowners and businesses due to its remarkable durability, sleek appearance, and long-term value. Whether for a residential home or a commercial property, metal roofing offers numerous benefits, making it a high-performance, low-maintenance solution.
Exceptional Durability
Metal roofing is built to withstand the harshest conditions, including heavy snow, high winds, and hailstorms. With proper installation, a metal roof can last 40–70 years or more.
Low Maintenance
Metal roofs require minimal maintenance. They resist cracking, shrinking, and warping and are impervious to pests, rot, and mildew. Occasional cleaning and inspections are often all that’s needed.
Customizable Appearance
Metal roofing offers a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes to suit any architectural design. From modern standing seam panels to more traditional profiles that mimic tile or slate, you can create a distinctive look tailored to your preferences.
Fire Resistance
Metal roofs are non-combustible and come with a Class A fire rating, providing superior protection for your property. This makes metal roofing a particularly smart choice for fire-prone areas.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Made from recyclable materials, metal roofs are an environmentally responsible choice. At the end of their lifespan, they can be fully recycled, reducing environmental waste.
Lightweight and Versatile
Metal roofing is significantly lighter than traditional materials like tile or slate. This reduces the strain on your structure and eliminates the need for costly reinforcements during installation.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Marlene and Dennis: My wife and I had the pleasure of having our flat roof replaced by Smart Roofing (847-797-0404) and their staff and crew in 2021. My wife and I are not related to anyone at Smart Roofing. This is an objective review. Mike, Smart roof scheduler, suggested the best insulation for the flat roof in order to stop the heat from escaping through the roof and to insulate the room below. Mike took his time to suggest and […]
We had the BEST experience with SMART Roofing. Our new roof was installed a year ago. Mike W. did an outstanding job from scheduling our roof installation, to helping us pick the color of the shingles, coordinating the roofing crew, making sure our neighbors weren’t inconvenienced during the project, being on site regularly, and answering all our questions. Mike W. made this a GREAT experience. Mike W. is so kind, helpful, trustworthy, knowledgeable and was always available to talk to […]
We used Smart Roofing to replace our roof and repair some other damage to the roof structure. They replaced the asphalt roof and plywood decking on the entire house and garage and did a fantastic job. Pete was knowledgeable about the project, understanding our needs, and quick to respond to any questions we had about the process. He also handled communication to our insurance to make sure proper forms were filled out to ensure our coverage and repair was correct. […]
We’ve used Smart Roofing on two instances for a roof replacement and a full siding replacement on our house. For both, the planning and estimate process was very detailed and honest, and the work was done conscientiously. They were transparent about unexpected issues, and I definitely got the impression that their top priority was to get the job done right (rather than just quickly). It’s been 5 years since our roof was installed, and 1 year since the siding, and […]
We highly recommend Smart Roofing! We met Pete as he was replacing roofs on two of our neighbors’ houses. They had storm & hail damage. We asked him to inspect ours and sure enough, we also had damage. Pete worked with the insurance adjusters and we wound up with a new roof completely covered by insurance. From the beginning, Pete was pleasant and professional. He was extremely helpful and patient as he brought shingle samples. Owning a mansard roof made […]
Our experience with Smart Roofing was exceptional from start to finish. We had gotten 4 proposals for the complete tear-off that needed to be done on our roof. Pete represented his company with knowledge, honesty and no ridiculous sales pitch – a huge plus for me. Pete was easy to work with and their price was reasonable. We were also in an insurance ‘time crunch’ for completion, and Pete made sure that the work would be completed in a timely […]

Pete and his Smart Roofing team are truly amazing!! From the time the insurance adjuster did their assessment, all the way through to the completion of the roof and siding project…the Smart Roofing team were true professionals! Not only were Pete and his team reliable, diligent and thorough workers, but they were a significant resource in helping us pick-out different designs and colors.

Great company to work with. My fiancée and I used Smart Roofing during our home inspection a couple months ago. The house we purchased has a concrete tile roof and we wanted to be confident there were no pre-existing concerns. Mike from Smart Roofing stopped by in under a day’s notice and completed the inspection. Along the way, he provided valuable insight on the roof and what we should expect as new homeowners with a tile roof. Just this past […]

We had an excellent experience with Smart Roofing. Beforehand and during the work, they were able to answer any questions that we had. Both the roof and gutters look great. The guys who did the work also cleaned up everything. All my patio furniture and pots were neatly put back in place and the rubbish was all disposed of in the dumpster they brought. I most definitely would recommend Smart Roofing.
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Stan and his team for the work they have done on my roof. I live in Chicago in a bungalow.

Our house was re-roofed by Smart Roofing, Inc. Our property is very difficult to work with due to extensive landscaping and mature trees close to the house, requiring material movement and disposal using wheel barrels and a lot of manual labor.

Pete also worked to coordinate everything […]

Metal Roofing FAQs
Is a Metal Roof Heavier Than Other Roofing Options?
Actually, no. A metal roof is on average 50% lighter than a roof made of asphalt shingles and 75% lighter compared to those constructed from concrete tile, fiber cement shakes, and slate.
Is a Metal Roof More Effective in Regions with Heavy Snow?
Yes. In regions prone to significant snowfall, metal roofing is highly favored. Its ability to swiftly shed snow not only preserves the roof’s structural integrity but also prevents the formation of ice dams at the eaves, which can lead to water backup and potential leaks into the home.
Are Metal Roofs Safe from Fire and Lightning?
Absolutely. Compared to most other roofing materials, metal roofs offer enhanced safety during a lightning strike due to their non-combustible nature. Petersen’s metal roofing systems undergo UL testing for fire safety. Your rep can provide specific information on fire rating.
Does a Metal Roof Produce More Noise Than Other Roofing Types?
Not at all. A metal roof properly installed by a professional is typically fitted above the attic area, as the top of many layers that include insulation, a roof deck, and underlayment. This configuration ensures that metal roofs are just as quiet as other available roofing materials.

Church Steeple Replacement in Lemont, Commercial Metal Roofing Project
Churches are a staple of the community they are involved in and provide comfort and peace to those around them. That is why we were more than happy to work with Bethany Lutheran Church to replace the steeple and fixtures that got damaged during a storm, and bring the church back to its beauty.
The whole process began with scaffolding being set up by Chicago Scaffolding, which allowed our Smart Roofing sheet metal crews to safely and efficiently access the steeple. After tearing off the existing damaged paneling, we replaced damaged wood, installed new high temperature underlayment, and began working on replacing the steeple. We installed Pac-Clad / Petersen Aluminum precision series cupped tile in a cityscape color, which matched the shape, style, and color of the panels that were on the Lemont church steeple before. With some additional restoration of the steeple cross and ornamental fixtures done by our experienced sheet metal crews, this church steeple replacement in Lemont turned out to be another great Smart Roofing project.

This standing seam steel roof in Chicago was the most recent metal roof installation completed by our sheet metal and metal roofing crews. With the metal roof panels fabricated in our shop out of 24 gauge, pre-finished, steel sheets, from Petersen Aluminum, our crews were able to make sure that the panels were made to the right specifications.

Park Ridge New Construction - Standing Seam Residential Metal Roof
Smart Roofing, Inc. is pleased to share photos of this Park Ridge new construction where a standing seam, curved panel metal roof is being installed.
Not Just Metal, But Standing Seam - There's metal roofing, and then there's a particular type called standing seam metal roofing.
Houses in your neighborhood with metal roofs most likely are of the standing seam variety. Continuous panels run from the ridge of the roof all the way down to the eaves. Between the panels are seams connected by fasteners which are raised above the level of the metal roofing. This is where we get the term standing seam, because the seam is raised or standing, as opposed to flush-mounted.

Understanding the Difference Between Standing Seam - Metal Roofs
Metal roofs in Chicago, and everywhere else, may often look similar, but there are some very important differences in the panels that are installed. This difference comes down to the way the metal roofing panels lock down to the roof and to each other, to ensure the most secure, durable, waterproof, and attractive roof possible. Whether they are custom made panels from Pac-Clad, or fabricated panels from steel sheets in a sheet metal shop, the locking technique can make all the difference. With many different systems and deviations from the basics, below are the most popular metal roofing panel installation styles.learn more»
