In fact, every Master Elite™ Contractor is required to train their foremen using GAF's Quality Assurance Roofing Educational Program.

Superior Protection

Most people think that a new roof is nothing more than just banging up some shingles. But our Master Elite™ Contractors know better—so they recommend GAF's Weather Stopper® 5-part roofing system. The Weather Stopper® system offers you the best protection against a variety of all-too-common roofing problems. Plus, each component of the Weather Stopper® System has earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal!

Because of their unique training and factory-certified status, roofs installed by Master Elite™ Contractors are eligible for special warranties — all backed by GAF's financial clout as North America's largest roofing manufacturer. After all, a warranty is only as good as the manufacturer that stands behind it. With a GAF roof, you know that you will be covered throughout the warranty period —without fail! Ask your Master Elite™ Contractor about which warranty option would be right for your home. Note: Certification is related only to installation covered by GAF enchanced warranties.

Shingle Roof Replacement in Evanston

Are you in Evanston and considering a roof replacement? Upgrading your old shingle roof with new architectural shingles can significantly enhance the look and durability of your home. Here at SMART Roofing we specialize in shingle roof replacement and shingle roof installation, offering top-quality Owens Corning Duration shingles for homes in Evanston and surrounding areas like Oak Park, Wilmette, Winnetka, and Northfield. This beautiful home in Evanston that we replaced the shingle roof on with new asphalt, architectural shingles is a perfect example of upgrading the aesthetic and function of your roof. With this Evanston roof replacement with Duration shingles in Colonial Slate color, the showcased home makes the choice easy. 

Replacing your old shingle roof with Owens Corning Duration shingles provides various benefits. These architectural shingles are designed for superior performance and durability, offering excellent protection against harsh weather conditions. The advanced SureNail Technology provides outstanding gripping power, ensuring your new roof can withstand high winds and heavy rains. Additionally, these shingles come with a robust warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come.

For homeowners in older, wood-frame houses, particularly in historic areas like Evanston and Oak Park, the installation of new plywood is often necessary during a roof replacement. This is due to the existing decking having spaces that used to be acceptable 20+ years ago, but are not anymore. Some of these homes also have existing cedar shake under a layer of shingles, which needs to be removed to allow proper installation of a new asphalt shingle roof during a shingle roof replacement. This step ensures a solid foundation for the new shingles, enhancing the overall structural integrity of your home, and guaranteeing a long lifespan for your new shingle roof. Our expert team at SMART Roofing always provides precise shingle installation, in this case carefully maneuvering around existing copper chimney flashings and siding to install proper roof-to-wall flashings. These flashings are crucial for waterproofing, preventing leaks, and protecting your home from water damage.

Shingle roofs work by creating a layered barrier against the elements. Each shingle overlaps the one below it, effectively channeling water off the roof and into the gutters. Proper installation is key to maximizing the lifespan and performance of your shingle roof. Our experienced professionals make sure that every shingle is placed correctly during a shingle roof installation, and that all flashings are installed to provide optimal waterproofing, particularly around critical areas like chimneys and roof valleys.

Choosing Owens Corning Duration shingles for your roof replacement in Evanston is a wise investment. These shingles not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also provide long-lasting protection. Contact SMART Roofing today to schedule a consultation for your shingle roof installation. Let us help you upgrade your wood-frame house with a durable, beautiful new roof that will stand the test of time.

These roof replacements in Arlington Heights combined all of the elements we are so familiar with. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood color were the primary focus.

Bolingbrook Shingle Roof Replacement

The roofing experts at Smart Roofing, Inc. recently did a roof replacement in Bolingbrook. The aging asphalt shingle roof was more cost effective to replace with all new accessories as opposed to doing roof repairs. From necessary roof deck replacement, to new galvanized steel chimney flashings, new bathroom vents, and a new roof ventilation system, to new gutters and RainDrop gutter guards, we were able to install a whole new GAF asphalt shingle roof system. All the details matter with a new roof, and we pride ourselves on using only the best materials available.

As part of our full service roof replacement, we installed a new roof ventilation system, which is essential to extending the life of your roof, especially when combined with the GAF System Plus warranty. The existing roof plywood had to be replaced and a space was cut in to allow air to circulate. We then installed the GAF Cobra Snow Country Advanced ridge vent, and covered it with TimberTex, a reinforced hip and ridge asphalt shingle. This new shingle roof in Bolingbrook is now covered by a 50-year warranty, and we at Smart Roofing, Inc. were more than happy to help the homeowner have peace of mind when it comes to the roof.

Park Ridge Shingle Roof Replacement

Smart Roofing Inc. started in Park Ridge, Illinois over 25 years ago, and we are always more than happy to return to our roots. We appreciate being able to help out the community that helped us become the roofing experts we are today. Having done many shingle roof, slate roof, and tile roof replacements and repairs in Park Ridge, we know what it takes to get the job done correctly, and make your house look just as beautiful as it was designed to look.

Most recently we replaced an aged cedar shake roof with new GAF Timberline HD shingles, in conjunction with Carlisle EPDM flat roof sections, in Park Ridge. Since the cedar shake roof was old and damaged, the best option was a full roof replacement. The homeowner was torn between getting a new cedar shake roof or making the change to a new shingle roof. With our knowledge of cedar shake durability in the Chicagoland climate when compared to new architectural asphalt shingles, the decision was easy. During the process of the shingle roof replacement, we also replaced flat roof sections with Carlisle EPDM flat roof membrane. When combined with the dark shingle color, these new flat roofs will looks great and withstand all the elements just as long as the shingle roof. To make sure the new roof matches the sophisticated look that the house was designed to have, we made sure that all perimeter flashings were shaped to fit the new shingle roof. Having solved the leak issues and giving the house a whole new appearance, while maintaining the architectural look, this shingle roof replacement in Park Ridge is one we are very proud to showcase.
