Roofing Services in Aurora
Adept Construction is a family-owned roofing contractor that has repaired and replaced roofs on Aurora homes and businesses since 1997. We work from our Naperville office at 27W225 79th St, about 7 miles from the center of Aurora, and handle roof repair, roof replacement, flat roofs and commercial roofing on both sides of the Fox River.
Aurora is Illinois’ second-largest city and one of only three in the state that spans four counties: Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will. Its homes range from Victorian-era houses in the Near Eastside and Tanner historic districts, where the City adds a historic review to roofing permits, to the subdivisions built on the Far East Side along Route 59 and Eola Road since the late 1970s.
When you’re ready to repair or replace the roof on your home or business anywhere in Aurora, we inspect it for free and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Types of Roofs We Offer in Aurora
At Adept Construction, we install four main types of roofs in Aurora: asphalt shingle, composite, cedar and flat. Helping you choose the right one for your home or building is our specialty.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Arguably the most popular option for roofing, asphalt shingle roofs are affordable, available in a number of different colors, and easy to maintain and repair. Shingles are made of a glass fiber reinforcing mat that’s coated with asphalt. The asphalt is waterproof, and it contains mineral fillers that help it adhere to the fiber mat.
Composite Roofing
Composite roofing is typically considered to be the more environmentally friendly roof choice, and weighs less than clay, concrete or slate. In composite roofing, the products are made of a combination of plastics and other recycled materials, rather than a single substance. Although, it can have the appearance of cedar, slate or clay tile roofing.
Cedar Roofing
Cedar roofing is comprised of cedar shingles and cedar shakes. Cedar shingles are smooth, thin, milled pieces of cedar; whereas, cedar shakes are cut from pieces of cedar and are split by hand to give them a rough texture. There are four different types of cedar shakes, including straight-split, tapersplit, tapersawn (which are milled smooth) and handsplit. Cedar roofs are often chosen because of their great look, but another benefit is that they are easy to repair, since individual shingles and shakes can be replaced, rather than needing to replace the entire roof.
Flat Roof Repair and Replacement in Aurora
Yes, Adept Construction repairs and replaces flat and low-slope roofs in Aurora, on homes, garages, additions and commercial buildings. We install the three main flat roof systems: EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen.
- Flat roof repair: we trace a leak to its source, usually a seam, flashing or a drain, and repair it rather than coating over it. See our roof leak repair service.
- Flat roof replacement: we tear off the old membrane, repair any damaged decking and install a new EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen roof, like this flat roof replacement in Glen Ellyn.
- Commercial flat roofs: repair and replacement for offices, retail and other low-slope commercial roofs, with a written scope for owners and managers. See our commercial roofing services.
Aurora reviews flat roofs separately. On the City’s roofing permit application, a roof with a slope under 2:12 counts as a flat roof and needs further review, and flat and commercial roofs are both on the City’s list of roofing permits that get an extra review. Learn more about our flat roofing systems.
Roof Repair in Aurora
Even if you don’t require an entire roof installation, we can provide roof repair in Aurora to restore your roof to its original condition. We can reverse wear and tear on composite, flat, asphalt shingle or cedar roofs, with consistent, high-quality results. Our staff has the expertise and equipment needed to quickly and effectively repair your home or business’s roofing, increasing its longevity, while helping you avoid future, expensive repairs. For an active leak, see our roof leak repair service.
If your roof has sustained too much damage to make roof repairs worthwhile, we may recommend the installation of an entirely new roof.
Aurora Roof Permits: What the City Requires
Yes, Aurora requires a permit to replace a roof. The City of Aurora’s roofing permit page lists what every roofing permit needs. The application is filed in person at the Building and Permits Division, 77 S Broadway, or online through the City’s eTRAKiT portal.
- A City-licensed contractor. Every general and roofing contractor named on the contract must be licensed with the City of Aurora, with general liability insurance that names the City as an additional insured and workers’ compensation coverage. The City also asks for a copy of the contract.
- A ventilation worksheet and attic inspection. Every roofing permit needs a Ventilation Calculation Worksheet based on an attic inspection of the existing vents, and each separate attic space needs its own worksheet.
- A full tear-off when there are two or more layers. If the roof already has two or more layers, the City’s roofing application requires all existing layers to be removed before the new roof goes on.
- Ice and water shield. The application calls for ice and water shield from the fascia to 24 inches inside the exterior wall and in the valleys, plus drip edge at the eaves and rakes.
- Extra review for some roofs. Flat roofs, commercial roofs, cathedral ceilings and homes in the Historic District or the Foxwalk District get an additional review, as do jobs that replace structural framing or all of the sheathing, or add a new power vent.
Before you sign with any roofer in Aurora, ask to see both their City of Aurora contractor license and their Illinois roofing license. Adept Construction holds Illinois Roofing License No. 104.011123, issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
Hail, Wind and Storm Damage Roof Repair in Aurora
Yes, Adept Construction repairs hail, wind and storm damage on Aurora roofs and helps with the insurance claim from the first inspection on. On March 30, 2026, the National Weather Service in Chicago logged nickel- to quarter-size hail in Aurora, with 1-inch hail measured northeast of the city. During the August 11, 2026 derecho, the Aurora/Sugar Grove airport weather station measured an 85 mph gust.
- 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 Naperville office at (630) 360-2730 or see how our storm damage roof repair process works.
