Roof Repair Smedway handles Roof Replacement projects across Lake Bluff from full tear-off through final inspection, with a written scope you approve before anything is torn down.


We walk Lake Bluff homeowners through material options, tear-off scope, and timeline before a single shingle comes off, so there are no surprises mid-project.
We also help Lake Bluff homeowners plan for material delivery timing so a Roof Replacement doesn't sit half-finished waiting on backordered shingles.
Documentation provided before the first tear-off day, not after you ask.
Materials staged and crews scheduled to minimize how long your Lake Bluff property sits exposed.
Full written scope and price before any tear-off begins, covering materials, labor, and disposal.
We match material choice to Lake Bluff's climate exposure, not just the lowest bid.
A complete Roof Replacement covers more than swapping shingles — here's what's actually included.
Old roofing is stripped down to the decking, with any rotted or damaged boards replaced before rebuilding.
Ice and water barrier gets installed at eaves and valleys per current code requirements.
Architectural shingles are installed to manufacturer nail patterns and exposure specs, not a rushed approximation.
Metal replacement costs more upfront but often outlasts asphalt by decades in the right climate.
Poor attic ventilation shortens the life of a new roof, so we assess and upgrade it as part of most Roof Replacement jobs.
We protect landscaping and driveways during tear-off and do a full magnetic nail sweep before leaving.

We start with a conversation about your roof's age, material preferences, and timeline.
A crew lead inspects your Lake Bluff roof in person and measures the full scope of work.
You get a full written estimate covering materials, labor, and disposal before any tear-off is scheduled.
A final walkthrough confirms the finished roof matches the agreed scope before we consider the job done.
