Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs tile & slate roofing across Aurora, from Paramount Theatre on Stolp Island to Fox River and the RiverEdge Park amphitheater. Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois and the largest in Kane County, and its roofs run the full spectrum because its housing does. Downtown around Stolp Island and the Tanner district you have brick and frame homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, many with steep gable and dormer rooflines and original wood decking. Out on the Far East Side off Route 59 and Eola Road you have subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s whose first-generation builder-grade shingles are now failing on schedule. We replace both, and we price each one for what it actually needs.
Aurora sits in the Fox River valley, where cold air settles overnight and stretches freeze-thaw cycles longer than on higher ground. River-valley humidity feeds heavy ice dams on the shaded north slopes of older East Side homes. Summer brings the same hail and 60-plus mph derecho gusts that hit the rest of Kane County, and west-facing roofs along open farmland on the far east side take the brunt of straight-line wind with no tree cover to slow it.
What our Aurora tile & slate roofing includes
Every Tile & Slate Roofing job in Aurora includes:
Natural Slate Roofing
We install quarried slate in standard and graduated patterns, the kind found on Wheaton's century-old homes. Real slate carries a 75 to 100-plus year service life, and we use copper or stainless fasteners and copper flashing so the metal outlasts the stone instead of failing first.
Concrete and Clay Tile
Concrete and clay tile give you a 50-plus year roof at a lower price point than natural slate, and they suit both the Mediterranean-style homes and newer custom builds around Naperville. We carry interlocking profiles rated for the wind and hail this region sees every summer.
Structural Load Assessment
Before any tile or slate goes up, we determine whether your framing can carry 700 to 1,500 pounds per square. When it cannot, we coordinate engineered reinforcement and pull the proper DuPage or city of Wheaton permits so the install is fully code-compliant.
Slate Roof Repair and Restoration
Most failing slate roofs in Glen Ellyn and Wheaton do not need replacement, they need the flashing, valleys, and broken individual slates addressed. We match salvaged or new slate by thickness and color and replace failed nails before water reaches the deck.
Copper Flashing and Valleys
Slate and tile last a century, but galvanized flashing rusts through in 20 to 30 years. We flash chimneys, valleys, and sidewalls in copper or stainless so the weakest part of the system is built to match the lifespan of the roof itself.
