From our guides

  • Chicago has one of the most varied roofing landscapes in the Midwest: suburban tract homes with standard pitched roofs sit alongside century-old city bungalows with low-slope fronts, two-flats with full flat roofs, and North Shore estates with complex custom rooflines.

  • In most of the Midwest, yes, but the rule is set by your city or county, not your state. Only two states in this region, Minnesota and Wisconsin, enforce one uniform code everywhere.
    From Do You Need a Permit to Replace Your Roof in the Midwest?
  • Ice dams form when heat escaping from a home's living space warms the roof deck unevenly, melting snow near the ridge while the eaves stay below freezing. The meltwater refreezes at the cold eave, building an ice ridge that backs water up under the shingles.
