Home » The Process of Getting a New Roof

If you have been waiting to finally invest in a new roof, autumn is an excellent month to commit to the project. The weather in the fall season is still consistent enough to warrant a relatively quick installation, and getting a new roof in the next few months means you can rest easy once the Chicago winter winds begin to blow. You can be confident that your new roof will withstand the upcoming weather.

For many clients that contact us at Rusco, the process of a new roof can initially seem overwhelming. In fact, most clients tell us they don’t even know where to start. Here’s what you need to know about how a roof goes from a dream project to a reality.

Decision Making

Your new roof begins with recognizing that you need a new roof. If your roof is showing warning signs of damage or potential collapse, it is certainly time to invest in a new one. However, getting a new roof does not always need to happen under such dire consequences. Some homeowners choose to invest in new roofing to update their home’s curb appeal or to prepare their home to sell in the near future. No matter what your “why” for a new roof is, Rusco is the “where” to make it happen.

Design Choices

Once you have made the decision to get a new roof, you have some design choices to make. Stop by our new office, now located at 1740 International Parkway in Woodridge, to get started with one of our consultants. There, you can hear about shingle options that include colors to complement your existing siding and sizes to coordinate with your existing architectural design. We will make suggestions as you need them based on our experience and on your budget.

Installation

Once you have worked with our consultants to choose your shingles, we get to work ordering your supplies and scheduling your installation date. During your roof installation, a team of experienced professionals will arrive on time and work efficiently to have your project done within a few days (weather permitting).

Follow Up

Finally, we want to be sure you love your new roof. A member of the Rusco team will stop by your home or call you to find out how you feel about the results of your new project. We will inquire about the entire experience and assure you felt comfortable from the moment you walked into our doors.

Now that you see getting a roof is not overwhelming or worrisome, as long as you work with our team at Rusco, you can feel more confident making that initial phone call. We can’t wait to work with you and give you a new roof that will look great.
