The quality and professionalism is on the highest level. This is the best company in illinois if you are looking to fix your roof or siding!Posted on Google Sokratis KoutelidakisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Jsmm inc for my roof and work inside my house, they did amazing job! Jonathan and his crew are focusing on the details, they gave me updates very often and they finished everything in the timeframe that they told me. I will use them in the future for other projects too.Posted on Google Ron HsiaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team for your roof repair needs. A couple of weeks ago, we discovered a roof leak that made its way through the ceiling of our bedroom. We called some water mitigation folks to dry out the attic and made the mistake of allowing them to tarp our roof to prevent additional leaking. Even though there affected area was relatively small, they ended up tarping the entire roof. When our insurance adjuster came out, he informed us that because of the holes they put in, we'd likely need the replace the whole roof and that insurance may only cover the small section of roof that was actually leaking, which would mean we would be on the hook for the rest. Enter JSMM. They made quick work of the roof replacement and even identified and resolved the root cause of the leak (improper roof system for the roof angle). Additionally, Jonathan was an excellent communicator and throughout the process, I felt very assured that he had our back. Finally, he was an excellent mediator between us and our insurer. Dealing with homeowners insurance is almost always a pain but with Jonathan in the loop, all of that pain was hidden from me. I didn't need to worry about explaining the situation to the insurer, or about accidentally saying the wrong thing that could adversely affect my claim. He was able to negotiate with the insurer to get my whole roof replacement covered. If what the adjuster said is true, including Jonathan in the project probably saved me around $30k and absolutely increased my peace of mind. No roof leak can be called stress-free but bring JSMM into the mix and it'll be as stress-free as possible.Posted on Google Stephanie DoroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JSMM Inc. deserves 10 stars if this was an option! What an incredible experience I had dealing with them from start to finish on my insurance claim from hail and wind damage! Jonathan, the owner, was exceptionally great. from dealing with the insurance company, to dates and times about material drop off and installation. I literally didn’t have to do anything. He got the most out of the insurance and way more than I expected. Roof, gutters, down-spouts, garage door, soffit, facia, front door and storm door and window coverings. I was ecstatic! all while covering my deductible! His crews doing the install, were kind and courteous and also quick and thorough and everything looks fantastic.

Does Your Northbrook Home Need a New Roof?
Many homeowners are unsure whether they need a repair or a full replacement. These are the most common signs that a complete roof installation or replacement is the right call:
-
Your roof is 20 years old or older
-
Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing in multiple spots
-
You are seeing granules collecting in the gutters
-
The roof sags or feels soft when walked on
-
Leaks reappear after repairs, or stains show up on ceilings and walls
-
Daylight is visible through the attic boards
Spotting two or three of these together usually means it is time to act. See our full list of signs you need a new roof if you want to be certain before you call.
Residential Roof Installation Services in Northbrook
JSMM Inc. installs and replaces residential roofs using the materials best suited to Illinois weather — cold winters, summer heat, ice, and wind. We work with:
-
Asphalt Architectural Shingles
The most common residential roofing material in the Northbrook area. Architectural shingles offer a dimensional look, strong wind resistance, and long service lives. We install leading brands and can match your home's existing color and profile.
-
Residential Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal panel systems are becoming a popular choice for Northbrook homes. Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, shed snow effectively, and can lower cooling costs in summer. We install residential metal roofing in Northbrook, IL, including steel and aluminum panel systems for sloped residential roofs.
-
Synthetic and Impact-Resistant Shingles
Class 4 impact-rated shingles can reduce your home insurance premium and provide superior protection against hail — a real consideration in Illinois. Ask us whether your home qualifies for an insurance discount with impact-rated material.
How a Northbrook Roof Replacement Works With JSMM Inc.
We keep the process clear and predictable so you are never left wondering what comes next.
Free Inspection and Written Estimate
We inspect the roof, check the deck, assess the attic, and give you a written, itemized estimate. No verbal quotes, no pressure.
Material Selection and Permit Filing
We help you choose the right material for your home and budget. JSMM Inc. handles the Northbrook permit process so you do not have to.
Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We remove the existing roof down to the deck boards. Any rotted or damaged decking is replaced before the new roof goes on.
Full Installation
Ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys. Underlayment across the full deck. Properly cut and fastened shingles or panels, with correctly installed flashing at every penetration.
How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Northbrook?
Every roof is different, so we do not publish flat-rate prices. The cost of your replacement depends on:
-
Roof size and pitch
-
Material choice (shingle type, grade, or metal panel system)
-
Number of existing layers to remove
-
Condition of the underlying deck
-
Number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents)
Our guide on new roof costs in Illinois explains all the factors in detail. If cost is a concern, we also offer flexible roof financing options so you can protect your home without waiting.
Need a Roof Repair Instead?
Not every roof needs full replacement. If the damage is isolated — a few missing shingles, one leaking section — a targeted repair may be the right answer. Visit our dedicated residential roof repair page for Northbrook to learn more about our repair services and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a residential roof replacement take in Northbrook?
Most residential replacements in Northbrook take one to two days for the physical installation. The full project timeline — from estimate through permit to start date — typically runs two to four weeks depending on weather and scheduling.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Northbrook, IL?
Yes. Northbrook Township requires a permit for full roof replacement. JSMM Inc. handles the permit application as part of every project, so you do not need to manage that process yourself.
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?
A full inspection is the only reliable way to know. If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated, a repair is often sufficient. Widespread granule loss, deck damage, or a roof past 20 years usually points to replacement. JSMM Inc. gives you an honest answer after the inspection, not a hard sell.
What roofing materials do you install for Northbrook homes?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, and residential metal roofing systems. We work with leading brands and are manufacturer-certified, which gives your roof access to extended warranties not available through uncertified contractors.
How much does a new roof cost for a typical home in Northbrook?
Cost depends on roof size, material, pitch, and the condition of the existing deck. We provide free, itemized written estimates so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. Call (847) 410-7060 or request an estimate online.
