Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. Metal is the one assembly in Bartlett where the insulation requirement stops being a penalty and turns into the reason to do the job at all. Follow the logic.
A vaulted plane that has to carry R-30 continuous above the deck is already getting polyiso and a nail base. That nail base is a flat, uniform, dead-solid substrate, which is the ideal thing to fasten standing seam to. So the incremental cost of metal over that assembly is far smaller than the incremental cost of metal over a bare 1990s deck, because most of the expensive preparation is already bought and paid for.
The specification we use is twenty-four gauge, sixteen-inch pans, concealed clips. Floating clips matter over a nail base because the panel needs to move seasonally and the insulation underneath it does not, and a fixed clip on a long run will oil-can or tear its own fastener out within a decade. Panel length is the other constraint nobody mentions. Metal is wrong here more often than the industry admits.
A cut-up 1990s hip roof with eight planes, four valleys and three dormers is a transition problem rather than a roofing problem, and each of those transitions is bent by hand on site into a future leak. On that geometry, asphalt is the better engineering answer and we will say so. Each of them depends on a fabricator having a good day. Where metal genuinely earns its place in this village is the small stuff.
The low-slope porch roofs, bay window caps and shed dormers the tract builders hung off the main plane. Those are the details that fail first on every subdivision here, and a standing seam or a soldered flat-lock ends the argument permanently. Those are the roofs that fail first on every subdivision here, they are small enough that the material cost barely registers, and a soldered flat-lock over a porch ends a twenty-year argument for good.
On cost we do not soften anything. Metal lands at roughly two and a half to three times asphalt installed. If you plan to sell inside seven years you will not see that money again, and we would rather tell you now than after the deposit. If this is the house you plan to grow old in, metal is a good decision and we will build it gladly.
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 metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing 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.
The standards behind metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal roofing work we do in Bartlett follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every metal roofing project in Bartlett gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
