Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs metal roofing across Wheaton, from Cantigny Park to Cosley Zoo. Wheaton is the DuPage County seat, and its housing stock tells two stories on one roof. The streets around downtown and Wheaton College hold a lot of pre-1950 homes with steep pitches, multiple dormers, and original wood decking that is now brittle. We tear those off down to the deck, replace any rotted boards, and rebuild the system properly instead of laying a second layer over tired shingles. That older-home detail work is where a lot of bargain crews cut corners.
Wheaton sits inland in DuPage County, so it takes the full Chicago freeze-thaw swing rather than lake-moderated temps. Winters bring ice dams on the deep north-facing slopes of older Wheaton roofs, plus snow loads that stack on low-pitch additions. Summer means the derecho and straight-line wind corridor that runs the western suburbs, along with hail off fast-moving July storm cells. Spring thaw is when last winter's ice-dam leaks finally show on ceilings.
What a standing-seam metal roof includes
Every Metal Roofing job in Wheaton 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.
