Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs metal roofing across Glen Ellyn, from Lake Ellyn Park to the Illinois Prairie Path. Glen Ellyn is one of the older villages in the western suburbs, and the roofs show it. Walk the streets around Lake Ellyn or Old Town and you see steep gables, deep eaves, dormers, and complex valleys on homes built between the 1920s and 1950s. Those rooflines look great and shed snow well, but they collect ice at the eaves and they take real skill to reroof correctly. We work on these houses every week, so we know where the leaks start before you do.
Glen Ellyn sits on some of DuPage County's higher, hill-and-ravine ground, so wind catches the steep gables on its older homes harder than on flatter streets nearby. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw swings and heavy ice damming along the deep eaves common on 1920s-1950s houses. Summer storms tracking off the prairie deliver pea-to-quarter-size hail and 60-plus mph gusts. The dense, mature tree canopy keeps north slopes damp, which shortens shingle life and feeds moss in shaded valleys.
What a standing-seam metal roof includes
Every Metal Roofing job in Glen Ellyn includes:
24-Gauge Standing Seam
Our most-installed metal system for Wheaton and Glen Ellyn homes. Concealed-clip panels with 1.5-inch or 1.75-inch seams, mechanically or snap-locked, in 24-gauge steel. No exposed fasteners on the field means nothing to back out or leak over 30-plus freeze-thaw winters.
Exposed-Fastener Panel Roofs
A budget-friendlier option, often used on detached garages, porches, pole barns, and outbuildings around Aurora and Lisle. We install 26-gauge through-fastened panels with EPDM-washer screws driven to correct torque so the gaskets seal without crushing.
Standing Seam Over Low-Slope Sections
Many local ranches and mid-century homes have low-pitch porch and addition roofs below 3/12. We spec mechanically seamed panels with sealant in the seam, rated for the low slopes that snap-lock systems can't safely cover in our snow load.
Metal Over Complex Hips and Valleys
Newer Naperville subdivision roofs are full of hips, dormers, and dead valleys. We custom-bend valley pans, hip caps, and headwall flashing in-house on our brake so every transition is watertight, not patched with caulk.
Full Tear-Off and Deck Repair
We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted or delaminated sheathing, and install a high-temp synthetic or peel-and-stick underlayment rated for metal before a single panel goes down. Crews are ours, never subcontracted.
