Roofing in Niles, IL

Project Overview

A homeowner in Niles, IL, contacted Harris Exteriors & More (HARRIS ROOFING, SIDING, WINDOWS & DOORS) for a roof and skylight estimate after a kitchen leak. Their roof was over 20 years old, and it was clear the home needed an upgrade to prevent further water damage.

After meeting with several contractors and receiving three estimates, the homeowner chose Harris for the job based on our expertise, product options, and trusted reputation.

For homeowners in Niles and nearby suburbs, our Barrington showroom is a convenient place to review shingle colors, skylight options, and warranty details in person.

Roof & Skylight Selection

The homeowner selected a premium roofing system and upgraded skylight:

• Shingles: Owens Corning® Duration®
• Shingle Color: Onyx Black
  
• Skylight: Velux skylight with built-in solar blinds
  

The Onyx Black shingles provide a clean, modern look with strong contrast and dimensional appeal, while Owens Corning Duration shingles deliver excellent durability and wind resistance.

The Velux skylight with integrated solar blinds provides the kitchen with more natural light, with the added benefit of light control and improved energy efficiency.

Installation Highlights

This Niles roofing and skylight project was completed in just one day, and included:

• Tear-off of the old roofing system
• Inspection and preparation of the roof deck
• Installation of Owens Corning Duration shingles in Onyx Black
• Removal and replacement of the existing skylight with a new Velux unit
• Integration of the solar blinds with the new skylight
• Thorough cleanup of the property, including magnet sweeping for nails

The new roof and skylight system not only resolved the kitchen leak but also transformed the home’s curb appeal and interior light quality.
