Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. The number that moves a Bartlett tear-off is not the shingle you pick. It is whether one sheet of sheathing leaves the roof. Cross that line and the job stops being a roofing job. Illinois writes its energy code once, in Springfield, and it reaches renovations, not only new construction.
The reroof provision is short: a roof with no insulation in its cavity, whose sheathing is exposed during reroofing, has to be insulated above or below that sheathing. Pull one panel of swollen 7/16-inch OSB and the whole plane is now an envelope project with a number attached. That number is R-49 blown back across the ceiling plane, or R-30 continuous above the deck.
On a house with a real attic the first path is cheap, and a morning of dense-packed cellulose closes it out. On the vaulted great rooms the 1990s builders put in half of this village, there is no attic to blow, so the only compliant answer is polyiso and a nail base, and the finished deck grows two to three inches. So we write the estimate in two columns. Column one is the roofing.
Column two is the sheathing contingency with the insulation cost already attached to it, priced per sheet and per plane, before anyone climbs on your house. You should never learn what a plane costs on the day it is opened. We would rather lose a bid on an honest contingency than win one on a number that was never going to hold. Ask every roofer you talk to for that second column in writing.
The ones who cannot produce it have either not looked at your deck or are planning to discover it later. Before we quote, we probe. Panel edges at the eaves and in the valleys, where swell shows first. Fastener withdrawal along the ridge. A count of every plane in the house sorted into two piles, attic above and cathedral above, because those two piles carry completely different math and most estimates never separate them.
We also read the ceiling from inside. Our opinion, plainly: if the deck sounds solid, keep it. Replacing sound sheathing to start clean is the most expensive habit in this trade here, and in Bartlett it does not just cost you plywood, it costs you the insulation package that rides in behind it. Sound decking that has carried two roof coverings will carry a third.
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 replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement 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 replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement 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 replacement 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.
