…Gerry Michaels, knows the roofing business inside and out and was extremely helpful in providing options and different price points to us so to make the best-informed decision for our roofing needs. His team completed the two-day job on time, as promised. As the roof was only recently installed, we can only attest to its beauty at this point. As this is a long-term proposition, we will know over time how well the roof performs. We have no reason to doubt Adept and are very pleased so far with the performance of the roof. The pricing was competitive, as well. Another very important factor: Gerry is always available to answer questions and check on the roof if we ever have any concerns.

…and leaking) for furnace vent, installed new vents on the roof for bathroom and Kitchen range hood, and enlarged soffit vents to fix poor attic ventilation.
Gerry came out and did an estimate the next day after I called. Among all the roofers we talked to, he was our favorite. He understood our concerns about each item we wanted to work on and the solutions he provided chimed in with the way we preferred to resolve the problems. His quote was not the lowest nor the highest, but had a reasonable price that we felt comfortable to pay and believed the project could be done well at. Also his quote was detailed, showing the process they were gonna perform and materials they were gonna use, as well as the price for each item. So we could decide what item we wanted do this time and easily figured out the total cost of them (The quote suggested to replace the gutter which was really old. But we decided to do it next time when replacing the roof). He and his office were responsive to my emails when I had questions about the quote. After I signed the contract, Gerry and two of his guys came out within a week. The two contractors worked the whole day and finished everything! It has been 1.5 months since then. We went through several storms. We don't see any leak so far. They did a good job!
Roofing Systems We Install in DuPage County
Adept Construction installs four roofing systems: asphalt shingle, flat membrane, cedar shake and composite. Asphalt shingle is the most common choice on DuPage County homes; composite and cedar shake are common on larger homes in Hinsdale, Oak Brook and Lemont; flat membrane roofing covers most of the commercial buildings we work on.
Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common roof on DuPage County homes because they cost less than any other system and come in dozens of colors and profiles. Each shingle is a fiberglass mat coated in asphalt and mineral granules; architectural (dimensional) shingles carry 30-year to lifetime manufacturer warranties and stand up better to the hail and wind this area gets than the older three-tab style. Price depends on the shingle grade, the roof’s size and pitch, and how many layers have to come off.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofs are low-slope roofs — usually a pitch of a quarter inch per foot or less — covered with a single-ply membrane (EPDM or TPO) or modified bitumen rather than shingles. Most of the commercial buildings we roof in Naperville, Downers Grove and Villa Park have flat roofs, and we repair, re-cover and replace them.
Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofs are split or sawn wood shingles that insulate well, resist wind and hail, and give a house the look that many buyers in Hinsdale, Lemont, Western Springs and Downers Grove expect. Adept Construction installs and repairs cedar shake, and can replace a worn cedar roof with new cedar or with a composite shake that matches the look.
Composite Roofing
Composite roofing is a molded polymer shingle made to look like natural slate or cedar shake, without the weight of slate or the maintenance of wood. It does not crack, curl or split, most products carry a 50-year warranty, and it is the system we recommend most often to Hinsdale, Oak Brook and Lemont homeowners replacing an aging slate or cedar roof.


Roofing Services for Homes and Businesses
Roof Repair
Has your home or business roof suffered years of wear from storms, aging or other damage? Adept Construction provides expert roof repair in Naperville and across DuPage County for cedar shake, composite, flat membrane, and asphalt shingle roofing. Our skilled team ensures your roof gets the care it needs to extend its lifespan, improve performance, and keep your property protected for years to come.
Roof Replacement
When a roof is past repair — usually 20 to 25 years old for asphalt shingle in this climate, or showing widespread hail damage — Adept Construction replaces it. Our roof replacement service includes full tear-off, deck inspection, ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, and a manufacturer-backed warranty. Local pricing and permit details are on our Naperville roof replacement and Downers Grove roof replacement pages.
Roof Installation
For new construction and additions, our roof installation service works directly with builders and homeowners across DuPage County, from framing inspection through final shingle or membrane. We install asphalt shingle, cedar shake, composite and flat membrane systems.
Handyman Roof Repair
For small jobs — a few missing shingles, a pipe-boot leak, loose flashing — our handyman roof repair service sends one technician instead of a full crew, which keeps the cost down for repairs that take a few hours rather than a few days.
Roofing Services Costs
Roofing costs in DuPage County depend on the roof’s size, pitch and material, how many layers must come off, and whether decking needs replacing. Adept Construction gives a written, itemized estimate before any work starts and does not add fees after the fact. For typical price ranges, see our guides to roof replacement cost and roof repair cost, or request a free estimate.


Why DuPage County Homeowners Choose Adept Construction
Roofs in DuPage County take more punishment than most: spring and summer hail and straight-line wind, then winter freeze-thaw cycles that build ice dams along eaves. The National Weather Service Chicago office in Romeoville issues the severe-weather warnings for the county, and after every warned storm our phones ring. Adept Construction has been the company Downers Grove and Naperville homeowners call after those storms since 1997 — the roofing contractors in Naperville and Downers Grove who show up, document the damage for your insurer, and put on a roof that lasts.
Every estimate is written and itemized. Every crew is supervised by an Adept employee, not a subcontractor. Every roof carries both the manufacturer’s warranty and our workmanship warranty. Get your free roofing estimate today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Adept Construction serve?
Adept Construction is based in Downers Grove, Illinois and serves all of DuPage County plus nearby communities in Cook, Will and Kane counties, including Naperville, Villa Park, Hinsdale, Lombard, Wheaton, Oak Brook, Lemont, Homer Glen and Aurora. The full list is on our service area page.
How do I know if I need roof repairs or a full roof replacement?
A roof with a single leak, a few missing shingles, or damaged flashing usually needs roof repairs. A roof that is more than 20 years old, has shingle granules collecting in the gutters, or has hail damage across most of its surface usually needs roof replacement. Adept Construction inspects the roof at no charge and puts the recommendation in writing.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof installations in DuPage County take one to three days. Larger homes, steep pitches, cedar shake or composite systems, and multiple tear-off layers can extend that to a week. Weather is the most common cause of delay.
Is Adept Construction licensed and insured in Illinois?
Yes. Illinois requires every roofing contractor to hold a license from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the Roofing Industry Licensing Act. Adept Construction is licensed, bonded and carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. You can verify any Illinois roofer’s license on the IDFPR roofing contractor page.
Does Adept Construction do commercial roofing?
Yes. Adept Construction installs, repairs and replaces commercial roofs — mainly flat EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen systems — for property managers and business owners in Naperville, Downers Grove and across DuPage County.
What types of roofing systems does Adept Construction offer?
Adept Construction installs four roofing systems: asphalt shingle, cedar shake, composite (synthetic slate and shake), and flat membrane. All four are available for repair, replacement and new construction.
