JB Roofing did an amazing job on replacing our shingle roof over the house, flat roof over the garage, and all the gutters. We truly appreciated their help with providing our insurance company a lot of photos documenting the hail damage that our roof sustained. They met with the insurance adjuster pointed out all the damage, and within 5 days the insurance company approved our claim. They used high quality materials, the installation team was professional, courteous, and got the job done in a timely manner. They were careful not to damage our gardens and lawn. Every bit of debris was cleaned up at the end of the day. We are extremely satisfied with our new roof. They exceeded our expectations without a doubt.! I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an affordable, high quality roof.

Amazing service and outstanding work. Charlie estimated the roofing project, made recommendations for improving the existing ventilation, provided a reasonable estimate for the work, and his crew removed the existing roof and installed the new roof, seamlessly. The crew was careful to protect the interior and exterior of the house, and left the property spotless.

Professional Roofing Services

JB Roofing Inc. started serving residential and commercial customers in Barrington and surrounding areas in 1995.

Decades of hard roofing work on a variety of Barrington IL roofs, helped us build great reputation and become a respected, family owned, local business.

Our line of services that originally started from asphalt shingles installation only, has expanded significantly and now includes several additional quality services.

Here are some of JB Roofing main services, and they short descriptions:

Asphalt shingles installation in Barrington – asphalt shingles, in general, are composed of paper (waste paper) that has been soaked with asphalt, making it waterproof. Paper is then top coated with asphalt layer and sprinkled with ceramic granules as a final protection layer.

The asphalt shingles are very economical and multipurpose, work very well on steep and sloped roofs (they should only be used on roof slopes of two units vertical in 12 units horizontal – 17% slope or greater).

Wood Shingles Installation in Barrington – there are two types of wood shingles we install on regular basis: cedar wood shingles and wood shakes. The difference between them is in their manufacturing process and appearance.

Cedar wood shingles are sawn on both sides, have smooth surfaces, and lay flat one on top of the other
Cedar wood shakes are split / not sawn, have rough surfaces (or face only) and they also vary in thickness. In order to lie in their courses tightly together they must be tapered.

Metal Roofs Installation in Barrington - metal roofing offers significant advantages over traditional roofing materials. Barrington metal roof installations are extremely long lasting, durable, will save you money over the lifespan of your metal roof, and create comfortable conditions for your family.

Flat Roof & Low Slope Roof Installations in Barrington - There are a few options to choose from:

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Modified Bitumen
PVC
EPDM – Rubber Membrane (short for ethylene propylene diene monomer)
Roll Roofing

Slate Tile Roof Installation in Barrington - Slate is mined all over the world, and the process often involves very deep excavation and requires skilled workers to manufacture the final product, a roof slate tile. Roof slate tiles are available in 5 basic colors: black, red, gray, purple, and green. However, the most common are gray, blue-gray, black, shades of green, deep purple, brick red, and mottled (mixed) colors.

Synthetic Roofing Tiles installation in Barrington - synthetic roofing tiles are manufactured using polymers or rubber blended with fillers. They often feature a fifty year manufacturer’s warranty, are generally fire, and also impact-resistant.

Synthetic roofing tiles are easier to install when compared with alternative products made from natural materials. Because synthetic tiles are light-weight, they might be mounted on top of an existing roof without strengthening of its framework.

We always perform free estimates for property owners, so you can call us and schedule an appointment, no strings attached. Visit JB Roofing Barrington Facebook Page, Follow us on Twitter or watch some of our video clips on YT.
