Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. Nearly every roof in this village is asphalt, and nearly every one of them is sitting on 7/16-inch oriented strand board that was laid down while Clinton was in office. The census numbers make the scale of it clear.
Of Bartlett's 14,481 housing units, 5,067 went up between 1990 and 1999 and another 2,886 between 2000 and 2009. That is more than half the village built inside twenty years, by a handful of production builders, using the same deck specification on every one of them. One enormous cohort of identical roofs, all arriving at the same decision at the same time. Strand board ages differently than plywood, and the difference shows at the cut edges.
Moisture finds the exposed strands, the edge swells, and the swell telegraphs up through a new laminated shingle as a faint ridge every four feet. It looks like a defect. It is almost always cosmetic. Plywood delaminates when it fails and telegraphs nothing until it does. Strand board announces itself early and cosmetically, which is why so much of it gets condemned by people who have never actually tested it.
That distinction is worth real money here. A ridged panel that is structurally sound does not need replacing, and replacing it is precisely the act that hands you the insulation requirement. So we sand the proud edges, shim the low spots, and leave the panel where it is. The roof looks right and the plane never opens. So we sand the proud edges, shim the low spots, and leave the panel where it is.
The roof reads flat from the ground, the plane never opens, and the insulation obligation never attaches. Fastening is where we depart from what was originally done. Plenty of 1990s roofs went on with staples. Laminated shingles need six nails driven through the reinforced strip, flush and not overdriven, and on the long exposed planes on the west side of the village that difference is the whole wind rating. Overdriving is the failure we correct most often.
A nail sunk through the strip cuts the mat and holds nothing, and a whole roof fastened that way will shed its first course in a spring gust. An opinion we will defend: a mid-grade laminated shingle over a sound original deck outperforms a premium shingle over a deck somebody replaced for peace of mind. The deck is the part that matters, and leaving a good one alone is the cheapest upgrade available to you.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, dense-packed cellulose blown to R-49, unvented cathedral assembly with closed-cell foam — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bartlett and nearby communities including Streamwood, Hanover Park, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Bartlett job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the tri-county northwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Bartlett Chooses Bartlett Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the sheathing question in advance, per sheet and per plane, so no homeowner in this village learns what a roof plane costs on the morning it is opened.
- ✓Every roof gets a written plane count sorted into attic-above and cathedral-above, because those two categories carry insulation obligations that differ by thousands of dollars.
- ✓We will not swap a sheet of decking as a courtesy. That single free panel is what converts an eight-hundred-dollar repair into an envelope project, and we say so up front.
- ✓We do not coat asphalt shingle roofs. It seals moisture into the mat, ends the manufacturer warranty, and costs you the clean tear-off you would otherwise have had.
