Summary
Adept Construction replaces roofs and installs new ones on homes and commercial buildings across DuPage County, from offices in Naperville, Downers Grove and Villa Park. Every roof replacement is a full tear-off to the deck, so damaged decking is found and fixed before the new roof goes on. Looking for residential roof replacement near you? Our three offices put a crew close to most homes in the county. For your town’s permit rules, see our Naperville roof replacement, Downers Grove roof replacement or Villa Park roof replacement page.
Adept Construction, Inc. is a family-owned Illinois roofing contractor (license No. 104.011123) that has installed replacement roofs since 1997. You get a free inspection, a written recommendation on whether the roof needs replacing or can be repaired, and a written, itemized price. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor we install Owens Corning shingles, and we also install CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles and Brava composite cedar shake. Every new roof carries our 10-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Age alone doesn’t decide it; the roof’s condition does. A home roof replacement is usually due when you see:
A roof with one problem area usually needs a roof repair, not a replacement roof; a roof with several usually needs a full roofing replacement. We tell you which in writing after a free inspection.

Owens Corning and CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles, Brava composite shake and flat membranes

|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingles | Most DuPage County homes | Owens Corning and CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles; no permit for a shingle-only re-roof in Naperville or Downers Grove | $ — lowest per square |
| Composite slate and shake | The look of slate or cedar shake | Brava composite cedar shake | $$$ |
| Cedar shake | Homes that already have cedar | Replacing a worn cedar roof; Naperville requires a permit for wood roofs | $$$ |

Architectural asphalt shingles cost least per square; composite, cedar and flat membrane cost more. Your written estimate prices the system you choose.

Hail, wind and falling limbs cause many DuPage County roof replacements. When damage covers most of the roof, insurance often pays for the replacement. We document the damage, write the scope and meet the adjuster on site; see storm damage.
The National Weather Service Chicago office in Romeoville issues the hail and severe-thunderstorm warnings for DuPage County. On March 30, 2026, it logged hail of 1.00 to 1.75 inches at Oak Brook, 1.75 inches north of Hinsdale and 1.50 inches north-northwest of Downers Grove. If a storm leaves your roof open or leaking, we tarp it, usually within 24 hours, and a free inspection then tells you whether the damage calls for a repair or a full replacement.
We tell you which in writing after a free inspection
Price depends on the roof's size in squares (100 square feet), its pitch and height, the roofing system, how many layers come off, how much decking needs replacing, and any permit fee. Architectural asphalt shingles cost least per square; composite, cedar and flat membrane cost more. Typical ranges are in our roof replacement cost guide and tear-off cost guide.
It depends on the town. The City of Naperville doesn't require a permit for an asphalt shingle re-roof that keeps the existing sheathing, but does for metal, wood, slate or membrane roofs, or when sheathing is replaced. The Village of Downers Grove doesn't require a permit to replace shingles on a house, though the work must meet its adopted code (Village re-roof memo). Unincorporated DuPage County is stricter: its Building and Zoning Department requires a permit for any re-roof that tears off the old roofing, filed online, with a performance bond and contractor registration with the county Building Division. The county also requires shingles rated for at least 90 mph winds and an ice barrier at the eaves (county re-roof requirements). Other DuPage County towns have their own rules, and we check them for every address. Even where no permit is needed, Naperville reminds owners that the roofer must hold an Illinois roofing license.
Every roof Adept Construction replaces carries two warranties: the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials and our 10-year workmanship warranty on the installation.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install to the manufacturer’s instructions and nailing pattern, so the material warranty holds. We also install CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles and Brava composite cedar shake, and for siding work we are a VSI Certified Installer.
From the free inspection to the final walkthrough
How long a replacement takes depends on the roof’s size and pitch, the roofing system, how many layers come off and the weather. We walk you through the expected timeline at your free inspection.

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!
A roof replacement is priced by the roof’s size in squares, its pitch and height, the roofing system, the number of layers torn off, any decking replaced and any permit fee. Architectural asphalt shingles cost least per square; composite, cedar and flat membrane cost more. Adept Construction provides a free written, itemized estimate; typical ranges are in our roof replacement cost guide.
A roof replacement removes the existing roof down to the deck and installs a new one. A roof installation puts a roof on a structure that does not have one yet, such as new construction, an addition or a garage. The installation steps after tear-off are the same.
It depends on the roof’s size and pitch, the roofing system, how many layers come off and the weather. Adept Construction walks you through the expected timeline at the free inspection, before any work is scheduled.
It depends on where the house is. Naperville does not require a permit for an asphalt shingle re-roof that keeps the existing sheathing, and the Village of Downers Grove does not require one to replace shingles on a house, though the work must meet code in both. In unincorporated DuPage County, a permit is required for any re-roof that tears off the old roofing. Adept Construction checks the rules for every address and applies for any permit needed. Sources: City of Naperville, Village of Downers Grove, DuPage County Building and Zoning.
Adept Construction removes every layer down to the deck on every replacement. Roofing over old shingles hides deck damage and adds weight, and the International Residential Code does not allow a roof-over where two or more layers of roofing already exist.
A roof that is shedding granules, with damage across several areas, more than one leak or hail damage over most of its surface usually needs replacement. A roof with one problem area usually needs repair. Adept Construction inspects at no charge and gives the recommendation in writing.
