Services
One crew for the whole outside of the house
Most exterior problems start at the roof edge and spread: a clogged gutter feeds an ice dam, the ice dam rots the fascia, and the fascia lets water into the soffit. We handle the roof, the gutters, the trim and the siding as one system, so a repair in one place does not hide a problem in the next.
-
Roof Replacement
Complete tear-off and re-roof with ice barrier, ventilation and flashing done properly, priced line by line before work starts.
-
Roof Repair
Leak tracing, flashing and shingle repairs with photo proof of the cause, plus an honest answer on whether repair still makes sense.
-
Storm Damage Repair
Slope-by-slope hail and wind damage assessment with photo evidence, a straight answer on whether it is functional damage, and repairs that blend in.
-
Emergency Roof Repair
A 24/7 line for active leaks, a secured temporary cover once the roof is safe to work on, photos for your records, and a permanent repair after it dries.
-
Roof Inspection
Roof, flashing, attic, ventilation and gutter inspection with a labeled photo report you keep, timed for upkeep, storms, sales and purchases.
-
Residential Roofing
Roofing for every kind of suburban house, from postwar ranches to complex newer rooflines, with materials and ventilation chosen for the home in front of us.
-
Commercial Roofing
Low-slope roof repair, maintenance and replacement for light-industrial, retail, office, HOA and multifamily buildings, phased around the people inside.
-
Flat Roofing
Membrane roofs for garages, porches, additions and small buildings, with the drainage and tapered insulation that keep water moving off them.
-
Siding Replacement & Repair
Vinyl, fiber cement and engineered wood siding installed over a proper water-resistive barrier, with careful matching after storm damage.
-
Gutters & Downspouts
Seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts sized to your roof, hung on hidden hangers, with guards and discharge planned so water ends up away from the house.
-
Soffit & Fascia Repair
Rotted fascia rebuilt, soffits replaced with vented panels that feed attic ventilation, and the gaps squirrels and birds use closed off for good.
-
Insurance Claim Documentation
Photo evidence, Xactimate-format line-item scopes and an on-site adjuster meeting for storm claims, inside the limits Illinois law sets for contractors.
Why ALTA
What working with a Chicago suburbs roofing contractor should look like
Proof first, price second
An inspection ends with photos on your phone: lifted tabs, cracked boots, soft decking, the stain on the attic sheathing that matches the one on your ceiling. If a repair will do, we say so, even when a replacement would be a bigger ticket.
Estimates you can hold up against anyone’s
Shingle line, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation and decking allowance each get their own line. When you collect three bids, ours is the easy one to compare, and the gaps in the others become obvious.
Details that matter in January
Chicago winters punish the first three feet of a roof. Continuous ice barrier at the eaves, balanced attic airflow and new flashing — never reused — are standard on our replacements, not upgrades.
Storm paperwork handled carefully
Our estimators write line-item scopes in the Xactimate format adjusters use and meet them on your roof. Illinois law keeps the claim itself between you and your insurer, and we respect that line.
Process
From first call to final walkthrough
You reach out — any hour
Call, text, or send the form. Storm and leak calls are triaged first, and scheduled work gets a confirmed appointment window.
Inspection and photo documentation
We inspect the roof surface, flashing, ventilation and attic where accessible, and photograph every issue so you see what we see.
Written, line-item estimate
You receive an itemized scope with materials named by brand and product line. For insurance work, the estimate is prepared in Xactimate-compatible format.
Scheduling and materials
Once you approve, we confirm a start date, order materials, and handle any permit the municipality requires.
Installation and daily cleanup
Landscaping and siding are protected, tear-off debris goes straight to a dumpster or trailer, and a magnetic sweep picks up nails each day.
Final walkthrough and paperwork
We walk the finished job with you, review warranty registration, and hand over photos, permit sign-off, and invoices for your records.

Common questions
Do you charge for a roof inspection?
No. A standard inspection with photos and a written summary is free, and what you do with the findings is up to you. If the inspector finds storm damage, the same visit produces documentation for your insurer. You will know whether the roof needs a repair, a replacement or nothing at all before price comes up.
What areas does ALTA Roofing & Exteriors serve?
We work out of Addison and cover the suburbs of seven counties: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will. Enter your ZIP code on the service areas page to confirm your street is covered.
How is ALTA Roofing & Exteriors related to Alta Property Services?
They are one company. Alta Property Services has served the Chicago area since 2010, and ALTA Roofing & Exteriors is the name it uses for roofing and exterior work. Whoever inspects your house works for the same company that schedules the crew and answers for the job afterward. More background is on our about page.
Where can I check a roofer’s Illinois license?
On the online license lookup run by IDFPR, the state agency that licenses roofing contractors. Search by company name or license number and confirm the status reads active. For insurance, ask for a certificate issued by the contractor’s insurance agent showing current liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Our own license and coverage details are on the licenses and insurance page.
Should I sign with a roofer who knocks on my door after a storm?
Not on the doorstep. Out-of-state crews follow big storms, and some are hard to reach once the job is over. Before you sign anything, look the company up in IDFPR’s online license search and get a signed contract showing its name, address, scope and price; Illinois requires one for most home repair jobs above $1,000. Walk away from anyone who offers to absorb your deductible or to take over talks with your insurance company, since Illinois prohibits both. Our guide to vetting an Illinois roofer lists more questions to ask.
