Roofs in Palatine: What We See
Palatine has older homes near downtown and the Union Pacific Northwest Metra line, wide areas of 1960s-to-1990s subdivisions, and large townhome and condominium communities along Rand Road and Dundee Road.
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. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s have usually been re-roofed at least once. The quality of that earlier work, from nailing and flashing to whether the old layers were removed, decides how today’s roof performs. 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 Palatine
Palatine handles single-family tear-off re-roofs through its Community Development Department at 200 E. Wood Street, with express permits filed online through the village’s Citizen Self Service portal. Contractors have to be registered and bonded with the village and hold a State of Illinois roofing license. Re-roofing has to follow section R908 of the 2021 International Residential Code, and replacing structural members such as rafters needs a full building permit.
Contact: Village of Palatine Community Development Department, 200 E. Wood Street, Palatine, IL 60067, (847) 359-9042.
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 Palatine
Between summer thunderstorms with hail, strong winds that lift shingle edges, and winter ice dams at the eaves, roofs in the northwest suburbs take more abuse than the age on the paperwork suggests.
Spring storms, fall leaves and winter ice all test gutters in the northwest suburbs. Correct sizing, pitch and fastening are what keep them working through all four seasons.
How We Work on Palatine Roofs
Every Palatine 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. On the day of the job we protect landscaping and the driveway, set up safety equipment and keep the site organized. At the end we run magnetic sweeps for nails and walk the finished work with you.
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.
