Aurora Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. The roof that goes on a bare deck is a scheduling problem before it is a roofing problem. New construction, a two-story addition, a dormer, a garage turned into living space. It has to be watertight before anything inside it can be ruined by rain.
On a replacement you tear off in the morning and you are dry by dark. On a new build the deck can sit open for days between framing and cover, and in this valley the spring and the late fall are both wet. We dry in with underlayment the same day the sheathing is signed off rather than waiting on a shingle delivery that may slip.
Illinois now sets a floor your municipality cannot go under. Public Act 103-0510 put a statewide baseline in force at the start of 2025, built on recent editions of the International Residential Code, and a town that adopts a code has to be at least as strict as that baseline.
Aurora is free to add requirements. It is not free to subtract them. Read that as a floor rather than a ceiling, because villages here sit above it.
The ice barrier is the part people get wrong. The code requires it where the jurisdiction has designated a history of ice forming at the eaves and backing water up, and that designation lives in a climate table the local building department fills in. So the real answer sits at the permit counter, and we get it in writing before membrane goes on the order. Guessing costs a pallet of material and a week.
Ventilation is the other thing you get one clean shot at. Intake at the soffit, exhaust high on the roof, baffles holding the insulation off the underside of the deck, and the net free area sized against the attic floor on paper. Retrofitting any of that into a finished roof costs several times what designing it costs. A raised heel truss buys the room to do it properly, and costs least before the order goes in.
Illinois gates this trade, which is useful to you: a municipality cannot hand a roofing permit to a contractor without a current state license, so ask every bidder for the number. And if your builder's contract already includes the roof, let the builder's roofer have it. One company holding the dry-in and the framing calendar is worth more to you than our bid. We would rather be the second call on that job than the wrong one.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated fiberglass 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 residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with laminated fiberglass 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 neighborhoods 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.
