Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. An inspection on a house here has one job that almost every inspection skips. It has to predict whether the sheathing will come off, because that is the only variable big enough to change your budget. So we inspect for it directly.
Panel edges get probed at the eaves and along the valleys, where swell announces itself first as a soft, spongy lip under the shingle. Fasteners get tested for withdrawal at the ridge, where thermal cycling backs them out fastest. Where there is an attic, we go into it and read the underside of the deck, which tells the truth far more reliably than the shingle surface ever does.
The vaulted planes are the blind spots and we treat them as such. No attic access means no view of the underside at all, so we work externally: a thermal pass on a clear evening when the assembly is giving up heat, and a fastener pull on a discreet course to see what the deck is holding. Then we count. Every plane on your house gets labeled attic-above or cathedral-above, and that list goes into the report.
It sounds clerical. It is the entire basis of what a future tear-off will cost you, because those two categories carry insulation obligations that differ by thousands of dollars per plane. Homeowners are often surprised to learn how many cathedral planes they have. A two-story house here can carry three or four, tucked over the great room, the primary bedroom and a front entry that was vaulted for the elevation rather than for the space.
What you get back is three things: remaining life on the covering, deck condition graded by plane, and a per-plane figure for what insulation would cost if the deck were to come off. Not a total. A menu, so you can see which parts of your roof are the expensive ones and plan around them rather than being ambushed. On pricing, we are direct.
A pre-sale or pre-purchase inspection should be paid and written, because you need it to hold up in a negotiation. A look after a storm should be free and quick, and any company that tries to reverse those two has told you something useful about itself. If your roof has nine good years left, the report says nine years, and we will be perfectly happy to hear from you in seven.
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 roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections 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 roof inspections
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections 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 roof inspections 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.
