Aurora Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. Metal is the one premium covering we will defend in Aurora, and the reason is weight. A double-lock standing seam panel formed from 24-gauge steel lands near a hundred and fifty pounds per square, which is lighter than the asphalt it replaces.
That single fact makes metal the exception to nearly everything else on this site. It does not tax a 1990s truss the way tile does. It does not require an engineer's letter on a subdivision roof. And on a hundred-year-old rafter system framed for a heavier world, it is barely a load at all. Weight is the constraint that governs most of Aurora's roofing decisions, and metal is the product that sidesteps it.
The cost, however, does not sidestep anything. Standing seam runs two to three times an asphalt reroof on the same house, and inside the mapped hazard area that is a large share of a cumulative improvement budget spent on one system. We will quote it, and we will also tell you plainly when the money would do more good on the sheathing, the ventilation and the discharge.
The best metal jobs in this valley are the small ones. Front porch roofs on east-side foursquares, bay window caps, the low-slope rear addition on a worker's cottage, and shed dormers where a shingle at three in twelve was never appropriate. A hundred-and-eighty square feet of standing seam over a porch solves a chronic leak permanently and costs less than most people expect. It is the highest-value metal work available in this valley.
Full-house metal we install as double-lock seam over a slip sheet and high-temperature underlayment, with panels formed to length so there are no transverse laps on the run. Exposed-fastener corrugated we will install on outbuildings and pole barns out toward Big Rock and Kaneville, and we will tell you that its gaskets are a twenty-year item and its screws want checking at ten.
What we will not do is lay metal over an existing shingle roof without opening it. On a board deck that is how a hidden rot pocket becomes a structural repair, and the money saved on tear-off comes back with interest. If a bid you are holding proposes a re-cover without a deck inspection, ask what happens when the crew finds soft sheathing at the eave.
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 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 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.
The standards behind metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal roofing work we do in Aurora 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 Aurora 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.
