Roofing in Lombard, IL
Lombard sets its permit line at a quarter of the roof. The code says a repair or replacement reaching under 25 percent of the total area needs no building permit, and the roofing handout puts it the other way round: a permit is required above 25 percent. A full replacement is the whole roof, so it is always permitted, at a flat seventy-five dollars.
Two Lombard rules are found nowhere else in this service area. Shingle stapling is prohibited outright, and residential shingles must carry a minimum twenty-five year warranty. The ice and water shield must run from the eaves to twenty-four inches inside the exterior walls and eighteen inches each side of every valley, a dimension most quotes never mention.
Inspection is optional on a pitched roof and mandatory on a flat one, and a flat roof permit also requires a plan review with a written scope of work. That is a genuinely unusual split, and it means the document you sign is the only record of a pitched job. Roofing contractors must file proof of their state certification with the Village before any permit issues.
Contractors register annually for one hundred dollars under a section that names the roofer specifically, carrying a three hundred thousand dollar single limit general liability floor. The Village asks for no local bond. Lombard is on the 2024 International Residential Code, well ahead of most of its neighbors, though the state's own code directory still lists it a dozen years behind.
Here is the fact worth carrying into any conversation about Lombard: it is not a home rule municipality. With more than forty thousand residents it is one of only two communities in the entire state over 25,000 people that is not, the other being Rockford. Everything the Village asks of a roofer therefore comes out of adopted code, and you can read all of it.
The tornado of 10 August 2020 is Lombard's, unambiguously. Peak winds of 95 miles an hour touched down near Main and Maple Streets just east of Lilacia Park, and the National Weather Service recorded more than two hundred homes with some damage and a few with significant roof damage. That is the one local event where a claim of neighborhood-wide damage is actually supported.
The housing skews older and denser than the county pattern, with a median build year of 1971, nearly nine percent of units before 1940 and 21 percent in buildings of fifty or more, the largest such share of any town we serve. Around Yorktown Center that means low-slope and association work; around Lilacia Park it means steep pitches and board decking.
Roofing work we do in Lombard, IL
Naperville Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Lombard that we do in Naperville — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Wind Damage Roofing — Straight-line winds through the western suburbs do a specific kind of damage that reads as catastrophic from the ground and very often is not. The correct answer here is frequently a repair, and we would rather write that than a replacement.
- Roof Inspections — The city of Naperville keeps no file on your shingle roof, because the ordinary asphalt re-cover never needed a permit to begin with. Whatever you know about your own roof, you know because somebody at some point wrote it down for you.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt shingles cover most of Naperville, and they are the one exterior assembly the city has decided it does not need to inspect. Everything below follows from that fact, because the installer's own standards end up being the only standards applied.
- Metal Roofing — Metal is one of the very few roofs in Naperville that arrives with an outside witness attached to it. The city's permit guide names metal specifically as a roofing material that requires a permit, which puts a plan review and an inspection between the crew and the finished job.
- Tile Roofing — Most conversations that begin here end with us advising against the whole idea. Converting a Naperville house from asphalt to concrete or clay tile is a structural project wearing a roofing project's clothes, and almost none of the housing stock here was framed to carry it.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Plenty of Naperville houses are legally two roofs at once. The main asphalt plane needs no permit to re-cover, while the flat porch, dormer connector or rear addition beside it is a sealed membrane, and Naperville names sealed membranes as roofing that does require one.

About Lombard, IL — and why local matters here
Lombard sits in DuPage County with a population of roughly 44,476, close enough to Naperville that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Lilacia Park, Yorktown Center.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Lombard properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of DuPage County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
