RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ROOF REPLACEMENT PROCESS
Getting started on a new roof is easy. We will work closely with you to ensure all your needs are met and all of your concerns are addressed before we begin the work.

Here is a general rundown of our roof replacement process:
Don’t Forget to Schedule a FREE Roof Replacement Consultation in Rockford!
-
INSPECTION
A Martin Exteriors professional will conduct a free inspection of your roof to determine exactly what needs to be done. We will look at the small issues as closely as the more obvious ones so that you know exactly what you’re getting into.
If your roof repair is covered by an insurance claim, we will meet with your claims adjuster when they do their inspection to make sure nothing is overlooked.
In many cases, adjusters have more claims than they can handle, so having an extra set of eyes on your job will ensure they don’t miss anything. Ultimately, we want to ensure you get the money you need to get the job done properly.
-
CONSULTATION AND CONTRACT
Once the inspection is complete, we will sit down with you to explain all the details so that you understand everything that’s going to happen and how long it’s going to take to restore your home to its original condition (or better!).
At this time, we will go over all of your options in terms of materials, colors, and styles so that your new roof meets your expectations.
Following our meeting, you will know exactly what to expect, including how much time it’s going to take and how much it will cost. We will go over the applicable product guarantees and warranties in great detail.
Every roof comes with our workmanship warranty, plus the GAF warranty you choose for your roof. We’ll go over the terms in writing before you sign.
-
PREPARING THE SITE
We treat our job sites as if they were our own homes, meaning that we will do our level best to get the job done quickly and not to disrupt your day-to-day life too much.
There will be some noise but our site protection and clean-up are second to none. We will cover all outdoor furniture, pools, lawns, landscaping, structures, and walkways so that dust and debris do not become a nuisance.
Once we are done with the project, you will never know we were there at all.
-
REMOVE OLD OR DAMAGED ROOFING
When we replace your roof, it means that we replace everything: every shingle, flashing, and other damaged components will be gone. All debris will be disposed of or recycled off-site so you won’t have to think twice about it.
-
INSTALLATION OF ROOF DECKING
Once we have removed all of your old and damaged roof parts, we will fully inspect the roof decking and make any repairs as needed.
Once we have completed the decking repair, we will install leak barriers, which consists of a water-tight felt underlayment.
Next, new flashings, drip edge, jackboots, and various other components will be installed in preparation for laying the shingles.
-
INSTALLING YOUR NEW SHINGLES
Once the decking is complete, we will install your new shingles over the top of the leak barriers and roofing felt. You will have many different styles and colors of shingles to choose from so that you can look forward to a brand-new feel and visual appeal.
-
SEALING
Once the shingles have been installed, we will need to seal the areas around the flashing, around the vents, pipes, and other joints. We will then paint your vent pipes and flashing to match your new shingles for a clean, uniform look.
-
CLEANUP
Once our crew has completed your new roof installation, we will meticulously clean the area, returning your outdoor spaces to the condition we found them in, or better!
We remove all construction debris and give the area a once-over with a magnetic broom to ensure all nails and potentially hazardous metals are gone for good.
-
FINAL INSPECTION
After cleanup is completed, our crew boss will complete a final inspection to be sure nothing has been overlooked.
We are inspecting for overall quality and workmanship and also to ensure that your expectations have been met or exceeded.
Once we vacate, all you’ll notice is that gorgeous new roof. We’ll be sure to leave plenty of business cards so you can pass them along to your neighbors in case they ask!

GAF Warranty Options
Every GAF shingle comes with a manufacturer warranty. How well your roof is really protected depends on which warranty you get and who installs it. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, Martin Exteriors can offer a 50-year GAF warranty with up to 30 years on workmanship on qualifying roofs (GAF eligibility rules apply).
The standard GAF shingle warranty covers manufacturing defects but not workmanship. The 50-year GAF warranty also covers installation mistakes for 30 years non-prorated, backed by GAF itself and not just the roofer. Only Master Elite contractors can offer it.
During your free roof inspection we’ll show you which option fits your roof and your plans for the house. GAF eligibility rules and terms apply. See our GAF warranty page for the full comparison.
Check Our GAF Master Elite Status
GAF gives Master Elite status to fewer than 2% of roofing contractors. To earn it and keep it, a roofer has to be properly licensed and insured, keep a strong reputation with homeowners and stay current on GAF training. Martin Exteriors is a GAF Master Elite contractor, and that matters on a roof replacement, because GAF’s top warranty can only be registered by a Master Elite contractor. GAF has also given us 2-Star President’s Club recognition. You can check both on our GAF contractor profile.
How a Martin Roof Replacement Works, Step by Step
Here’s the short version of what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough. Most homes in Rockford and Roscoe take a day on site.
- Free inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, vents and attic ventilation, look for soft decking and take photos so you can see what we see.
- Written estimate. You get a written estimate before any work starts, and we explain how any rotted decking would be handled.
- Shingles and warranty. You pick the shingle line and color, and we go over which GAF warranty your roof qualifies for, up to 50 years with up to 30 years on workmanship (GAF eligibility rules apply).
- Permit and scheduling. Martin Exteriors pulls and handles all required permits, orders your materials and sets a date that works with the weather.
- Tear-off and deck repair. We cover your landscaping, strip the old roof down to the deck and replace any damaged wood.
- Installation. Ice and water barrier along the eaves and in the valleys, underlayment, new flashing and drip edge, proper attic ventilation and your new shingles, all installed to GAF’s specifications. If your roof has older skylights, we can replace them on the same job with skylight installation and replacement.
- Cleanup and final walkthrough. We haul away the debris, run a magnetic sweep for nails, inspect the finished roof and walk through it with you. If you chose an enhanced GAF warranty, we register it for you.

What to Expect During Shingle Tear Off | Martin Exteriors
Curious what moves the price up or down? Our roof replacement cost guide walks through it.
How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Rockford, IL?
Most full asphalt roof replacements in Rockford run about $8,000 to $17,500+, depending on how big and steep the roof is, how much has to come off and what the deck looks like underneath. Your own number comes from measuring your roof, not from a chart. What moves a Rockford price up or down:
- Roof size. More squares of shingles and underlayment, and more hours on the roof, mean a higher total.
- Pitch and steepness. A steep roof needs more safety setup and slower, careful work than a low ranch roof.
- Layers coming off. Every old layer is torn off down to the deck, and two or three layers add labor and disposal.
- Decking repairs. Soft or rotted boards are replaced, and that price is in writing before work starts.
- Shingle line. GAF Timberline HDZ is the line most families pick. A thicker premium shingle like Timberline UHDZ, or metal roofing, costs more.
- Ventilation, flashing and extras. Added intake or ridge venting, new flashing at walls and chimneys, and skylight replacement all change the total.
What Your Free Estimate Includes
- A free inspection of the shingles, flashing, vents and attic, with photos of what we find.
- A written estimate before any work starts, including how rotted decking would be handled.
- Your shingle line and color, and which GAF warranty your roof qualifies for, including a 50-year GAF warranty with up to 30 years on workmanship (GAF eligibility rules apply).
- Permits: Martin Exteriors pulls and handles all required permits.

What our clients say about us
- Joey W.
Justin and Trish were awesome. They took the time to walk me through the process of getting my roof replaced and assisted with the claims process. 10/10 would recommend to anybody
- Alexis K.
Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Very professional. Never felt like they were trying to over sell us and took the time to explain everything about the roof materials and why they did things the way they do. Their clean up is excellent as well. No debris was left behind.
- Google review
We contacted Martins in early 2025 when we noticed shingles falling off after storms. Martins fought on our behalf with insurance for a roof replacement. They walked us through everything and answered every question we had. After finally getting approval they were here and done in one day and it looks amazing. Very happy with our experience.
- Eve D.
Dustin Watkins was absolutely outstanding! He was very professional, coordinated everything, kept his promises, returned our calls promptly and followed up on all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. Also, he met with the adjuster at our home and worked hard to make sure nothing was missed. The crew did beautiful work, they worked efficiently and got it done in only one day including both the tear off and installing the new roof. It looks great!
- Leslie R.
We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new roof!… One of the things we appreciated most was how they handled all of the communication with our insurance company. Even when there was pushback, they advocated for us and took that burden completely off our shoulders. The installation crew did an outstanding job, and the quality of their workmanship truly shows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the cost of a typical roof replacement in Rockford IL?
Most full asphalt roof replacements in Rockford run about $8,000 to $17,500+. Every roof is different. Price depends on your roof’s size and pitch, how many layers have to come off, any decking repairs, the shingle line you choose, and extras like ventilation. The best way to get a real number is a free, no-pressure inspection: we’ll measure your roof and give you a written estimate. Financing is available as low as $149/month for qualified buyers.
What are the most durable roofing materials for harsh winters in Rockford?
In Rockford’s snowy winters, locals prefer metal roofing, asphalt shingles replacement, and composite materials. These materials withstand heavy snow loads and offer max weather resistance. We’ll help you choose the best option for your home and budget. Architectural asphalt shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ are durable and backed by GAF’s WindProven limited wind warranty with qualifying GAF accessories. Metal roofing offers longevity. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer GAF’s best warranties.
Do you offer warranties for your roof replacements in Rockford IL?
Yes! We offer comprehensive roofing warranties on both materials and workmanship to give you peace of mind. The details of your warranty will depend on the roofing system and materials you choose. Ask us for more information during your FREE consultation.
How long does a roof tear-off and installation process last in Rockford?
Most residential roof replacements are done in a day. Area size and weather conditions can add time. Still, our team ensures fast, high-quality work in order to minimize disruption to your daily life.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just a repair?
If your roof has widespread damage, is more than 20 years old, or experiences frequent leaks, it’s probably time for a replacement. Schedule a free inspection from Martin Exteriors to know for sure.
Are energy efficient roofing options available in Rockford, IL?
Yes, we offer energy efficient roofing options, including metal roofing for durability, which can help regulate your home’s temperature and reduce energy bills. You’ll be wanting the best in the market, especially during Rockford’s hot summers and cold winters!
Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage in Rockford?
Absolutely! Our team has the know-how needed to work with insurance companies and make sure you get the fair compensation for storm damage replacements you’re owed. We’ll guide you through the process from A-Z. If hail, wind, or another storm damaged your roof, insurance may cover a full replacement minus your deductible. We work directly with insurers and advocate for fair compensation.

Roof Replacement FAQ
How long does a roof replacement take in Rockford IL?
Most residential roof replacements in the Rockford area take a day. The size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and the materials being installed can add time. Larger homes, steep pitches, or homes requiring decking repairs may take longer. Martin Exteriors works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while never cutting corners on quality. We coordinate the entire process from start to finish, and we answer calls 24/7.
Should I replace my roof before selling my home?
A new roof is one of the best investments you can make before selling. A new roof can recoup about 69% of its cost at resale in our region, per the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, and makes your home significantly more attractive to buyers. In the competitive Rockford IL real estate market, a home with a new roof sells faster and often at a higher price. At minimum, get a free inspection to understand your roof’s condition before listing.
Can you install a new roof over my existing shingles?
On every roof replacement, we tear the old roof off to the deck. A full tear-off gives the best results. Layering over existing shingles can hide underlying problems like rotted decking, trap moisture, add excessive weight to your structure, and may void manufacturer warranties. A complete tear-off ensures we can inspect and repair the decking, install proper underlayment, and give you a roof that will last.
What roof warranty does Martin Exteriors offer?
We stand behind our work with a comprehensive workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer material warranties. We install GAF shingles, with Owens Corning available on request or to match your existing shingles. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, qualifying roofs can include a 50-year GAF warranty with up to 30 years on workmanship (GAF eligibility rules apply). We’ll explain all warranty options during your free inspection.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement vs. a repair?
Generally, if damage affects more than 30% of your roof, the roof is over 20 years old, you’re experiencing recurring leaks, or there’s structural sagging, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Curling shingles and daylight showing through the attic are other signs it may be time. For localized damage from a single storm event, repairs may be sufficient. Our inspectors will give you an honest assessment: we never recommend replacement when a repair will do. Contact us for a free evaluation.
Do you offer financing for roof replacement?
Yes! We understand a roof replacement is a significant investment. Martin Exteriors offers flexible financing options to help Rockford area homeowners manage the cost. Financing is available as low as $149/month for qualified buyers. Call (815) 624-6278 for a free inspection and to go over your financing options.
Are you a GAF Master Elite roofer?
Yes. GAF gives Master Elite status to fewer than 2% of roofing contractors, and only Master Elite contractors can offer a 50-year GAF warranty with up to 30 years on workmanship (GAF eligibility rules apply). You can look us up in GAF’s contractor directory.
What are the steps in a roof replacement?
Free inspection, a written estimate, choosing your shingles and GAF warranty, the permit and scheduling, tear-off and deck repair, installation to GAF’s specifications, then cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep and a final walkthrough. Most homes take a day on site.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Usually, yes. Most homes around Rockford and Roscoe need a permit for a reroof. Martin Exteriors pulls and handles all required permits and sets up any inspection.
Do you replace roofs in both Rockford and Roscoe?
Yes. We have offices at 6019 Fincham Dr, Suite 4, Rockford, IL 61108 and 11704 Main St, Roscoe, IL 61073, and we work across the Stateline. Call (815) 624-6278. Someone answers 24/7.
Are you licensed?
Yes. We’re a licensed Illinois roofing contractor (104.017824) and a certified dwelling contractor in Wisconsin (#1436189).
