Roofing Services in Oak Brook
Adept Construction is a family-owned roofing contractor that has repaired and replaced roofs in Oak Brook since 1997, working from our office at 6509 Hathaway Ln in nearby Downers Grove. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, storm and hail damage and commercial roofing across the village, in both its DuPage County and Cook County sections.
Most of Oak Brook is residential subdivisions, from Fullersburg and York Woods to Brook Forest, Forest Gate and Saddlebrook, and many of them sit among the mature trees along Salt Creek and Fullersburg Woods. Overhanging limbs and leaf debris are a common cause of clogged gutters, worn shingles and storm punctures on these homes. North of Oak Brook Road, the offices and retail buildings along 22nd Street and the I-88 corridor mostly have low-slope commercial roofs.
Whether you know which roof you want or need help deciding, we inspect it for free and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Residential Roofing
Commercial Roofing
Types of Roofs We Offer in Oak Brook
When you’re ready to start your roof replacement project, you’ll have the option of a few different types of roofs to install. At Adept Construction, we focus on four main types of roofs:
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most popular roofing choice for several reasons. They are available in a lot of different colors and styles, and are relatively inexpensive and affordable. They offer a long lifespan and are easy to maintain. Because of these characteristics, it’s not surprising that asphalt roofing is so popular. These shingles are constructed from glass fiber reinforcing mats that have been coated with asphalt. The asphalt material adheres to each mat with the help of mineral fillers; asphalt makes roofing shingles waterproof.


Cedar Roofing
Cedar roofs are installed using either cedar shakes, which are split or sawn by hand from logs, or cedar shingles, which are thin, milled pieces of cedar. They are chosen not only because they look great, but also because they are very durable and easy to maintain. Hand-split cedar roofs are more rustic looking, while taper-sawn cedar roofs have a more uniform look.
Composite Roofing
Composite roofs are made up of recycled materials and plastics, and are generally thought of as being a more environmentally friendly option. They are available in many colors and styles and can even mimic the look of wood or slate roofs. They are virtually maintenance free. One potential drawback, however, is that composite roofs can be more expensive than other options.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofs are covered with waterproof membranes, and slopes can be created on them using rigid, tapered insulation. These waterproof membranes are typically made of modified bitumen, TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber). They are torch-applied, mechanically fastened or adhered using an adhesive.

Roof Repairs
In addition to new roof installations, our roofing contractors can fully restore your roof to its original condition. We have the ability to repair asphalt shingle, cedar shake, composite and flat membrane roofing. We bring the same level of unrivaled expertise to every job.
If damage is severe enough, we may recommend our roof replacement services to completely restore your roof.
Oak Brook Roof Permits and HOA Approval
Yes, Oak Brook requires a building permit to replace a roof. The Village’s residential permit checklist lists three documents for a roof permit: the contract or scope of work, the contractor’s roofing license, and an approval letter from your homeowners association. Applications and inspection requests are filed online through the Village’s Building Permits portal, and Development Services is at Village Hall, 1200 Oak Brook Road.
Your HOA has to approve the roof first. Because the HOA letter is part of the permit, we tell you what your association usually needs to see (the material, the color and the scope) so you can get the letter before work is scheduled. We then file the permit with our Illinois roofing license No. 104.011123.
No local contractor registration. Oak Brook does not require contractor registration, but it does require a current Illinois roofing license for any roofing work. Ask any roofer you’re considering for their license number before you sign.
Hail, Wind and Storm Damage Roof Repair in Oak Brook
Yes, Adept Construction repairs hail, wind and storm damage on Oak Brook roofs and helps with the insurance claim from the first inspection on. On March 30, 2026, the National Weather Service in Chicago logged measured hail of 1 to 1.75 inches at three points around Oak Brook, and the July 27, 2026 storms brought more damaging hail and wind across DuPage and Cook counties.
- Free storm inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, vents, skylights and gutters for hail bruising, lifted or missing shingles and limb damage.
- Emergency tarping. If the roof is open or leaking, we tarp it, usually within 24 hours.
- Photos and a written scope. We document the damage and write an itemized scope your insurer can work from.
- Adjuster meeting. We meet your insurance adjuster on site when you ask us to.
- Repair or replacement. Once the claim is approved, we make the permanent repair or, if the damage is widespread, a full roof replacement.
After a storm, call our Downers Grove office at (630) 964-8708 or see how our storm damage roof repair process works.
Commercial Roofing in Oak Brook
Yes, Adept Construction repairs and replaces commercial roofs in Oak Brook, including offices, retail buildings and multi-family buildings along 22nd Street, Route 83 and the I-88 corridor. Most are low-slope roofs, and we work with modified bitumen, TPO and EPDM membranes.
- Leak repair: we find the source, often flashing, seams or a drain, and fix it rather than patching over it.
- Storm damage: emergency tarping and documented scopes for the owner’s insurer.
- Replacement: a written, itemized estimate, with the Village permit pulled before work starts. For buildings at Oakbrook Center and many other shopping centers, the Village asks for center management’s approval stamp on the plans before the permit is submitted.

…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!
