Roofs in Arlington Heights: What We See
Arlington Heights has one of the widest ranges of housing in the northwest suburbs: older homes on the tree-lined streets around downtown, post-war ranches and Cape Cods, 1960s and 1970s two-stories, and a steady stream of teardowns being replaced with large new homes.
Older homes near downtown often have steeper pitches, chimneys, dormers and original plank decking. Chimney flashing and soft spots in old boards are common findings. Long, low ranch rooflines often still sit on their original 1950s or 1960s board decking. We regularly find two layers of shingles, undersized attic ventilation and low-slope additions that were never flashed properly into the main roof. Two-story homes mean tall eaves, long gutter runs and steeper pitches. Safety staging and careful valley work matter more, and wind takes a bigger toll on high, exposed slopes.
Older homes near downtown often have deep eaves, original wood fascia and box gutters that have been covered over. What’s behind the existing gutter matters.
Roofing Permits in Arlington Heights
Arlington Heights treats a single-family asphalt shingle re-roof as an over-the-counter permit. The application needs the contractor’s proposal with scope and cost, the village’s Single-Family Asphalt Shingle Re-Roofing Requirements acknowledgment form, and a State of Illinois roofing license, and a completion affidavit closes out the permit. If a roof already has two or more layers of covering, the old layers must come off before new shingles go on.
Contact: Village of Arlington Heights, 33 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60005.
Illinois law requires roofing contractors to hold a State of Illinois roofing license before a village that requires a permit can issue one.

Weather and Roofs in Arlington Heights
The freeze-thaw cycle is tough on roofs here. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands and opens them wider. Add summer hail and gusty storms, and a roof that looked fine in October can be leaking by March.
Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on gutters. Water that sits in a sagging section freezes, expands and pulls the hangers loose, and ice at the gutter line backs meltwater up under the roof edge.
How We Work on Arlington Heights Roofs
Every Arlington Heights job starts with an inspection of the roof surface and, where we can get in, the attic. We photograph what we find, explain whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and put it in a written estimate. We tell you what time the crew arrives, what to move away from the house and how long the work will take. When we’re done, the yard is swept for nails and you get before-and-after photos.
Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane that seals around nails. It goes at the eaves to protect against ice dams, in the valleys, and around chimneys and other penetrations. Synthetic underlayment covers the rest of the deck as a second line of defense. When warm attic air melts snow on the upper roof, the water refreezes at the cold eaves and forms a dam. Meltwater backs up behind it and works under the shingles. Ice and water shield at the eaves protects the deck, and good attic ventilation and insulation stop the melting that causes the dam in the first place.
