Aurora Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. Asphalt is the correct covering for the great majority of Aurora addresses, and we will argue that against anyone selling you something more interesting. It is light, it is cheap to maintain, and on the ledger that governs this valley, cheap is a feature rather than an apology.
A laminated fibreglass shingle meeting ASTM D3462, installed with six nails per shingle in the manufacturer's nailing zone over a synthetic underlayment, is a thirty-year assembly on either side of the river. It weighs somewhere near two hundred and forty pounds per square, which a 1990s truss carries without comment and a 1900s rafter carries without noticing. Neither framing system has an opinion about it, which is rather the point.
Where we push back is on the premium tier. The heaviest designer laminates and the fifty-year marketing lines cost more per square and deliver most of their advantage in appearance. On a subdivision house on high ground, spend it if you want it. On a cottage inside the mapped hazard area, that same money is improvement cost measured against a low structure value, and it buys less headroom for the work that keeps the house dry.
Board decks change the installation, not the product. Over 1x6 with skip gaps we re-nail the existing boards with ring-shank fasteners, sheet over runs where the edges have cupped, and use a starter product at the rake rather than a reversed course. A nail that lands in a gap holds nothing, and on a hundred-year-old deck perhaps one nail in twelve will if nobody is paying attention.
Colour matters more here than in a newer market. Aurora's east side is red common brick and painted clapboard, and a cool grey laminate that looks correct on a Kendall County subdivision reads wrong on an 1890s foursquare. We bring samples to the house and look at them against the brick in daylight rather than choosing from a chart in a truck.
Every shingle job closes with the wrapper photographs, the fastener count, the underlayment product, the ice and water placement, the ventilation figures, and the manufacturer's registration submitted rather than promised. If a warranty depends on installation details, those details belong in your file, not in ours. A warranty you cannot evidence is a warranty you do not really have.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, step flashing woven course by course into soft common-brick sidewalls, chimney taken down below the deck line with a framed and sheathed infill — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including North Aurora, Montgomery, Oswego, Yorkville.

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 laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, 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 Aurora 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 Fox River valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora Roof Pros
- ✓We read the Fox River flood map for your address before we price anything, because inside the mapped hazard area the city counts what you spend on the building and that count has a ceiling.
- ✓Every estimate states in one line whether we treat the work as maintenance, repair or improvement, and shows the figure against the structure's assessed improvement value.
- ✓On the low-lying older neighbourhoods we quote staged replacement by slope, so a house does not trip the fifty percent rule in a single season.
- ✓We refuse tile conversions on 1990s truss framing without a structural engineer's letter, and we say so before you have paid anyone for a design.
