Roofing in Hampshire, IL
Hampshire runs plan review and inspections through SAFEbuilt rather than village staff, and the fee structure follows from that: thirty dollars for plan review and forty-two dollars for each inspection. A re-roof needs one final inspection and no rough trades, so the arithmetic is short and you can check it against the village handout yourself before signing anything at all.
The village handout is specific about the roof. It asks for a copy of the State of Illinois roofing license and a homeowners association letter where one applies, allows not more than two applications of roof covering, and requires ice and water shield carried from the eave edge to a point twenty-four inches or more past the exterior wall line.
It also says dumpsters must be stored on private property. That is a real constraint on a village lot with a narrow drive, and it is the kind of thing a crew discovers on the first morning if nobody read the sheet. We settle the disposal location with you before the truck is loaded, and we put the placement on the estimate so nobody is negotiating driveway space at seven in the morning.
Hampshire enforces the 2018 International Building and Residential Codes with amendments, along with the 2021 energy code, the 2018 solar provisions and, unusually for a village this size, the 2018 Wildland-Urban Interface Code. Kane County stormwater regulations are adopted directly into the village code as well, which matters on any project that changes where roof water lands.
Forty-four percent of the 2,604 housing units here were built between 2000 and 2009 and another twenty-two percent between 2010 and 2019. Thirty-two percent are single attached. Ninety units predate 1940. The median unit was finished in 2004. This is a new town with a small old center, and the two halves want different conversations about layer count and about tear-off.
Open country west of the village is what makes Hampshire different. On 14 March 2025 winds took down the southeast portion of a barn roof along Route 72 on the south side of town. On 21 May 2004 the same exposure blew two semi tractor-trailers off the road in northern Kane County.
On 23 May 2020 a tornado rated EF-0 crossed from DeKalb County over Kane fields and dissipated before it reached Interstate 90. Nothing upwind slows any of that down. Rake starter, a six-nail pattern and sealed edges matter more here than they do behind a subdivision full of mature trees.
What we take on in Hampshire
Elgin Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Hampshire that we do in Elgin — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Fascia & Soffit — Wrapping a fascia in aluminum coil is a twenty-minute solution that ends the argument about painting. On an Elgin district house it also buries the crown molding, the bed molding and the rafter tails that make the eave read as what it is.
- Chimney Flashing — There is a piece of advice given on roofing sites all over the Midwest: that unused chimney is a leak with a hat on, take it down below the deck line and sheet over it. On a landmark or district property in Elgin that advice is not available to you.
- Commercial Roofing — Elgin draws a line that catches a lot of small landlords by surprise. At an owner-occupied single-family house, the homeowner may pull the permit and do the work.
- Insurance Claim Help — A policy owes you like kind and quality. A designated address in Elgin owes the Design Review Subcommittee a material it will approve.
- Roof Replacement — A roof replacement in Elgin starts with two numbers the city will ask for anyway: what is going on the house, and how many layers are already up there. We get both before we price, because the second one decides whether you are buying a re-cover or a tear-off.
- Roof Leak Repair — Most leaks in this city are not holes in a field of shingles. They are junctions: a wall meeting a roof, a chimney with no counterflashing, a valley that was laced when it should have been open, a porch roof tied badly into a two-story wall.

About Hampshire, IL — and why local matters here
Hampshire sits in Kane County with a population of roughly 7,667, close enough to Elgin that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Hampshire interchange on Interstate 90, the State Street business block in downtown Hampshire.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Hampshire properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Kane 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.
