From the brick bungalows of South Park to the Tudor revivals near Hinkley Park, we install and repair roofs built to outlast another Chicago winter — with the craftsmanship Park Ridge expects.
Park Ridge isn't a generic suburb. It's the Pickwick Theatre at twilight, the Maine South Friday-night crowd, a half-mile of leaded-glass windows on Touhy, and a tree canopy that takes a beating every August. We built Park Ridge Roofing Co. around those specifics — because a steep-pitch Tudor on Cumberland needs a different conversation than a flat-roofed addition off Higgins.
We don't chase storms across three states. We work the 60068 and the immediate Northwest Side, which means we know which streets sit in the path of the worst hail cells coming off O'Hare, which neighborhoods still have original 1950s roof decks, and which inspectors will flag what at resale on the Maine East side.
We start by asking what you're seeing — a stain, a missing shingle, a denied claim, a resale checklist.
Roof, attic, flashing, ventilation, and gutters — documented with photos you keep.
A clear line-item estimate. What we'll do, what we won't, what materials, what timeline.
Tarps under workspaces, magnetic sweeps for nails, daily cleanup. We respect the property.
Warranties in writing, a real person who picks up the phone after the job's done.
Full tear-off and new roof systems built for Park Ridge winters.

Re-pitching, resealing, downspout, and fascia repair.
Most of Park Ridge was platted between the 1910s and the 1950s — meaning we're working on roof decks that have already seen four or five generations of weather. Brick Tudors with steep dormers. Side-gabled Cape Cods. Georgian colonials with slate-replacement projects. Mid-century ranches with sweeping low-slope sections. Each one asks for a different ventilation plan, a different shingle weight, a different flashing detail. We treat them that way.
Steep multi-gable rooflines around Cumberland and Hinkley Park. We hand-cut valleys, replace failing step flashing on those dormer cheeks, and color-match shingles to keep the architecture intact.
South Park and the Dempster corridor. We balance attic ventilation to fight ice damming on those shallow soffits — the #1 cause of winter leaks we see in the 60068.
Low-slope ranches near the Country Club and along Greenwood. We pair architectural shingles on the visible planes with EPDM or TPO on the low-slope rear sections — and we flash the transition right.
We're concentrated inside Park Ridge proper — the historic core, South Park, the Country Club blocks, and the bungalow belt running along Dempster and Cumberland. We also work the immediate edges where Park Ridge meets Edison Park, Norwood Park, and Niles.
All service areasThe historic core around the Pickwick Theatre and the Metra station.
Tree-lined blocks of Tudor revivals and brick Georgians south of Touhy.
Estate homes and mid-century classics near the Park Ridge Country Club.
Mature ranches and Cape Cods west of Cumberland Avenue.
Mixed-use blocks and townhomes along Cumberland and the Metra UP-NW line.
Postwar bungalows and split-levels along Dempster Street.
Family homes near Maine South High School and Hinkley Park.
The eastern edge where Park Ridge meets Edison Park and Norwood Park.
Sitting just north of O'Hare, Park Ridge catches the storm cells that roll in off the prairie and the lake-effect freeze-thaw cycles that grind shingles down a season at a time. Add a tree canopy that drops debris into every valley and a housing stock with original 1950s decking under three layers of shingles, and you get a predictable pattern of failure points.

Representative project case studies, common homeowner scenarios we walk through every week, and exactly how our process unfolds from first call to final walkthrough.
A 1928 Tudor near the historic core with a stained ceiling every January. Inspection found original step flashing and an under-vented attic above a closed soffit.
A bungalow off Dempster with a 1990s modified-bitumen addition pooling water at the scupper. Owner had two prior patch attempts that failed within a season.
A 2018 windstorm lifted the back-slope shingles on a Georgian colonial. Two prior contractors quoted patchwork without documenting the loss.
On a well-installed architectural asphalt roof with proper ventilation, expect 22–28 years in the 60068. Bungalows with poor attic airflow and steep Tudor pitches with persistent debris in the valleys can knock 4–6 years off that.
Yes. We document the loss, meet your adjuster on-site, and provide the line-item scope they need. We don't promise approvals — we make sure the damage is documented honestly so legitimate claims get paid.
Often, yes — especially on roofs less than 8 years old. We bring sample boards to your house and color-check in natural light. Older roofs sun-bleach unevenly and may require a full slope replacement for a clean match.
Frequently. Many Park Ridge homes have low-slope additions behind a steeper front pitch. We use modified bitumen, EPDM, or TPO depending on the deck condition, drainage, and your timeline.
We focus inside the 60068 and work the immediate edges — Edison Park, Norwood Park East, Niles, and Des Plaines side-streets bordering Park Ridge.
