WHY AJ ROOFING

What Makes Our Metal Roofing Different

Standing Seam Panels

Concealed fasteners mean no exposed screws to rust, back out, or leak. Clean architectural lines that look nothing like barn metal.

🎪

Metal Shingles

Look like architectural asphalt but last 3x as long. Perfect for neighborhoods with HOA restrictions on roofing materials.

Illinois Hail Defense

Class 4 impact rating — the highest. Metal sheds hail without bruising, cracking, or granule loss. May qualify for insurance discounts.

🌞

Energy Efficiency

Reflective coatings shed solar heat rather than absorbing it. Most homeowners see 10–25% reductions in summer cooling costs.

THE PROBLEM

Metal Roofing Issues Don't Wait

Asphalt shingles in Illinois need replacement every 15–25 years. With the hail, ice, and temperature swings the SW Suburbs see, many homeowners replace their roof two or three times in a lifetime — paying full replacement costs each time. They're also tired of the constant maintenance: moss, granule loss, cracked shingles every spring.

OUR SOLUTION

How AJ Roofing Fixes It

A metal roof is a once-in-a-lifetime investment for most homeowners. Modern metal roofing is nothing like the barn tin you're picturing — standing seam profiles and metal shingles offer a clean, architectural look that fits Orland Park and Naperville homes perfectly. They handle Illinois hail better than asphalt, shed snow and ice naturally, and carry 50-year manufacturer warranties. AJ Roofing installs both standing seam and metal shingle systems.

Why Choose AJ Roofing for Metal Roofing?

50+ year lifespan vs. 20–25 years for asphalt — likely the last roof you'll ever buy
Class 4 impact rating (highest available) — qualifies for 20–30% insurance premium discounts
Sheds snow and ice naturally — significantly reduces ice dam formation at Illinois eaves
Reflects 40–70% of solar radiation — reduces summer cooling costs 10–25%
Standing seam: concealed fasteners, zero exposed screws, no long-term leak risk
Metal shingles: look like architectural asphalt, meet HOA requirements, 50-year warranty
40+ factory finishes including Kynar-coated colors that don't fade or chalk
Wind resistance up to 140 mph — Class A fire rating
Typical installed cost: $18,000–$35,000 — offset by lifespan and insurance savings
Can be installed over existing asphalt in some cases — ask during estimate

★★★★★

"We went with a metal roof after our third asphalt replacement in 30 years. AJ Roofing walked us through all the options, the installation was clean and fast, and the roof looks incredible. Zero regrets — should have done this ten years ago."

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is metal roofing noisier in rain and hail?

No — when properly installed over solid decking with underlayment (which we always do), metal roofs are no louder than asphalt. Many homeowners say they can't tell the difference.

Can metal roofing be installed over my existing shingles?

In some cases yes, but we typically recommend a full tear-off to inspect the decking. We'll assess this during the free estimate.

How does metal roofing compare in cost to asphalt?

Metal roofing costs 2–3x more upfront but over a 50-year period is typically less expensive than replacing asphalt twice. When you factor in lower insurance rates and higher resale value, the math usually favors metal.
