Leaders Roofing has served Addison homeowners and commercial property owners since 1996. Thirty years of experience with the residential subdivisions, commercial corridors, and industrial facilities that define this DuPage County community.
Addison is a DuPage County community with a distinctly mixed character — residential subdivisions that developed through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s sit alongside one of the more significant industrial and commercial corridors in the west suburbs. The Lake Street and Army Trail Road corridors are home to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, commercial retail, and office parks. Addison Creek runs through the village, and the residential neighborhoods around Swift Road, Irving Park Road, and the Addison Creek corridor are established, owner-occupied communities where roofing decisions are driven by practical concerns: longevity, leak prevention, and accurate estimates.
The housing stock in Addison skews toward mid-century and late-twentieth-century construction — ranches, bi-levels, and two-story colonials that were built in the post-war suburban expansion and continued through the 1980s and 1990s. Many of these homes are now approaching or past the typical 20-to-25-year replacement window for the original asphalt shingles installed during construction. Homeowners are dealing with aging systems, granule loss, and occasional storm events that push marginal roofs over the threshold.
The commercial and industrial side of Addison is equally active. Flat-roof membrane systems on industrial buildings, warehouses, and commercial facilities require a different set of expertise than residential steep-slope work. Leaders Roofing holds an Illinois Roofing Unlimited License covering both residential and commercial work — and we bring 30 years of experience with both categories to every project in Addison.
We're based in Mount Prospect and have been active in DuPage County communities including Addison since our founding. Full liability and workers' compensation coverage, IL License #104.010248.
Addison's residential neighborhoods span several decades of construction, and the replacement needs reflect that history. The older neighborhoods near the village core — the ranches and bi-levels built through the 1960s and 1970s — often have homes that have already gone through one or two replacement cycles. More recent subdivisions from the 1980s and 1990s are now hitting the natural end of their original shingle systems.
For a typical Addison single-family home, full roof replacement runs $14,000 to $40,000. A smaller ranch with a straightforward gable or hip roof and standard architectural shingles will be toward the lower end. A larger two-story home with a more complex roofline, multiple planes, a chimney requiring flashing work, or a premium material specification will be toward the higher end. We don't quote per-square-foot — the final cost depends on the actual scope of your specific project, and we provide written estimates before any work begins.
Our standard replacement process includes full tear-off of the existing system, thorough deck inspection with replacement of any deteriorated sheathing, ice-and-water barrier at all eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment on the field, new shingles with matching ridge cap, and proper step flashing at all wall intersections and penetrations. Every replacement includes a manufacturer's material warranty and our workmanship warranty.
We provide the full range of residential and commercial roofing services to Addison properties. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Full tear-off and replacement for Addison's residential housing stock — ranches, bi-levels, two-story colonials. Standard architectural shingles to designer and Class IV impact-resistant options. We handle permitting with Addison's building department and provide manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up systems for the commercial and industrial properties along Lake Street, Army Trail Road, and the Route 53 corridor. New installation, replacement, and ongoing maintenance programs for property managers.
Post-storm inspection, damage documentation, scope reports for adjusters, and claim support for Addison homeowners dealing with hail or wind damage. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and can be present during adjuster inspections.
Leak diagnosis and repair, flashing replacement, pipe boot replacement, ridge cap repair, valley repair. We're straightforward about when repair is the right answer versus replacement — and when replacement is more economical than continued patching on an aging system.
Addison's commercial and industrial base is concentrated along Lake Street and Army Trail Road — manufacturing facilities, light industrial buildings, warehouse and distribution space, and commercial retail centers that collectively represent a significant inventory of flat-roof commercial property. These buildings have fundamentally different roofing needs than residential properties.
Commercial flat roof systems are membrane-based: TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), modified bitumen, or traditional built-up roofing. Each system has different performance characteristics, installation requirements, maintenance needs, and cost profiles. TPO has become the dominant specification for new commercial construction and replacement projects due to its energy performance (white TPO reflects solar heat, reducing cooling loads) and competitive installed cost. EPDM remains a proven performer, particularly on older buildings and in applications with significant ponding water risk. Modified bitumen offers a good balance of durability and flexibility for smaller commercial applications.
For Addison commercial property owners and managers, we offer annual maintenance programs that include inspection, seam and flashing re-sealing, drain clearing, and written condition documentation. A $500–$800 annual maintenance visit can extend a commercial membrane system by years and provide the documentation base for capital planning. We hold Illinois Roofing Unlimited License #104.010248, which covers commercial work without restriction on building size or type.
Most Addison homeowners pay between $14,000 and $40,000 for a full roof replacement. The range reflects real differences in home size, roofline complexity, and material selection. A smaller ranch or bi-level in the Lake Street or Swift Road subdivisions will sit toward the lower end of that range. A larger two-story colonial with multiple dormers or a more complex hip-and-valley configuration will cost more. We provide written estimates — material brands, scope, labor, disposal, and permit fees — before any commitment, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Yes — the commercial and industrial properties concentrated along Lake Street, Army Trail Road, and the industrial parks west of Route 53 have flat or very low-slope roof systems that are entirely different from residential steep-slope work. Commercial flat roofs use membrane systems — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen — rather than shingles, and their failure modes, maintenance needs, and replacement economics are distinct. We hold an Illinois Roofing Unlimited License covering commercial work without restriction, and we install and maintain all major flat roofing membrane systems. If you manage a commercial or industrial property along Addison's commercial corridor, regular maintenance and inspection is the single best investment you can make to extend system life.
Addison sits in a wind corridor that tracks toward O'Hare International Airport — severe thunderstorms moving from west to east across DuPage County frequently maintain or intensify as they cross the I-290/Route 53 corridor. High winds, large hail, and fast-moving storm cells are all hazards Addison homeowners deal with. We recommend inspecting your roof after any storm event with reported hail larger than quarter-size or sustained winds above 50 mph. Surface granule loss, lifted ridge cap, and cracked or displaced shingles are the common indicators — a 20-minute post-storm inspection can identify problems before they become interior water damage.
For most Addison residential homes, architectural shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed provide the best combination of performance, warranty, and value. If your home falls in a higher-value bracket or your insurance carrier offers premium discounts for Class IV impact-resistant shingles, the upgrade may make financial sense over the life of the policy. Addison's DuPage County location puts it in an active hail corridor — storms that track northeast from the western suburbs can deliver significant hail events. For commercial and industrial properties, TPO membrane systems are the most common specification for new construction and replacement, with EPDM and modified bitumen also widely used.
Yes. We assist Addison homeowners through the entire insurance claim process for storm-damaged roofs. That includes a thorough roof inspection to document actual damage, photo and written scope documentation for your adjuster, being present during the adjuster inspection when possible, and reviewing the scope of loss to ensure all legitimate damage is included. We strongly recommend having a licensed contractor inspect the roof before filing a claim — this tells you whether the damage meets the threshold to warrant a claim, and prevents unnecessary claims history if the damage is minor.
Yes. Addison has a substantial commercial and industrial real estate base — the industrial parks and commercial developments along Lake Street, Army Trail Road, and the Route 53 corridor represent a significant volume of flat-roof commercial property. We install TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems for commercial and industrial properties throughout Addison. Our Illinois Roofing Unlimited License #104.010248 covers commercial work without restriction on building size or type. We also offer preventive maintenance programs for property managers — annual inspection, seam and flashing re-sealing, drain clearing, and condition documentation.
