Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs metal roofing across Lisle, from The Morton Arboretum to Benedictine University. Lisle is a smaller, greener DuPage town than its neighbors, built around the Morton Arboretum and the East Branch of the DuPage River. A big share of homes here sit on wooded, shaded lots, especially through Green Trails and the streets feeding into the Arboretum. That tree cover is the whole appeal of living here, and it is also the thing that quietly wears roofs out. Shaded north slopes stay wet, grow moss and algae, and decking under those sections rots years before the rest of the roof looks tired.
Lisle sits along the East Branch DuPage River, so a lot of the housing stock runs to wooded, shaded lots. The Morton Arboretum canopy and the mature oaks through Green Trails keep roofs damp longer after snow and rain, which feeds moss on north slopes and rot at the decking. Freeze-thaw swings off Lake Michigan drive ice dams in January, and the open I-88 corridor takes the brunt of summer derecho wind and hail.
What a standing-seam metal roof includes
Every Metal Roofing job in Lisle 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.
