Palos Park is a village unlike any other in the southwest suburbs. With its wooded ravines, winding roads, and strict 2.5-acre minimum lot sizes in many areas, the homes here are as unique as the landscape. From the estates along Southwest Highway to the custom-built homes near the Palos Forest Preserves, each property requires a roofing contractor who understands that one-size-fits-all doesn't work in Palos Park.
AJ Roofing specializes in working with the distinctive homes that define this community. Whether your property features a steep, multi-gable roofline, cedar shake that needs updating, or a classic architectural style that demands carefully matched replacement materials, our team brings the expertise and care your home deserves. We're experienced with Village of Palos Park building requirements and take extra precautions to protect your landscaping, mature trees, and property during every project.
Custom & Estate Home Roofing
Palos Park's custom-built homes often feature complex rooflines, multiple roof planes, and architectural details that demand precision. Our crews have the experience and specialized equipment to handle even the most challenging residential roof designs with confidence.
Cedar Shake Alternatives
Many Palos Park homes were originally built with cedar shake roofs. We offer premium designer shingles from GAF and Owens Corning that replicate the natural beauty of wood shake while providing modern durability, fire resistance, and decades of maintenance-free performance.
Property & Landscape Protection
We understand that your Palos Park property is more than just your house -- it's the mature oaks, the landscaped gardens, and the natural setting. Our crews use tarps, plywood walkways, and careful debris management to protect every inch of your property. See our process.

Many Palos Park homes have steep-slope roofs (8/12 pitch and above) that require specialized safety equipment and installation techniques. We're experienced in high-pitch work and ensure every shingle is properly secured for maximum wind resistance.
Storm & Tree Damage Response
Palos Park's dense tree canopy means storm damage often involves fallen branches and debris impacts in addition to hail and wind. We handle the full scope of repair -- from emergency tarping to debris removal to permanent restoration. Learn about our storm services.

Frequently Asked Questions: Roofing in Palos Park
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Palos Park?
Yes, the Village of Palos Park requires a building permit for roofing work. Given the village's emphasis on maintaining community character, material choices may also be subject to review. AJ Roofing handles the full permit process for you, including any material approval requirements.
What does a new roof cost for a Palos Park custom home?
Due to the larger size, steeper pitches, and greater complexity of many Palos Park homes, costs typically range from $12,000 to $25,000+ for architectural shingles. Homes transitioning from cedar shake to designer shingles may be on the higher end. We provide free, detailed quotes tailored to your specific home. View our cost guide.
Can trees near my home damage my roof?
Yes. Overhanging branches can scrape shingles, deposit debris that traps moisture, and create shade that promotes moss and algae growth. We inspect for tree-related damage during every roof assessment and can recommend trimming before installation. During the project, we take special care to protect surrounding trees and landscaping.
Should I replace my cedar shake roof with asphalt shingles?
Many Palos Park homeowners are making this switch. Modern designer shingles can replicate the natural look of cedar shake at a fraction of the maintenance cost, with superior fire resistance and a 30-50 year lifespan. We bring samples to your home so you can compare the look side-by-side before deciding.
How do you protect my landscaping during the roofing project?
We use heavy-duty tarps around the home's perimeter, plywood walkways over delicate plantings, and careful debris management practices. After the job, we perform a magnetic nail sweep and hand-inspection of the entire property. Our "No-Nail Left Behind" guarantee means your yard will be as clean as we found it.
