Barrington-area homes — from the village center to the estates of Barrington Hills, South Barrington, and Inverness — carry premium roofs: cedar shake, designer asphalt, slate, and standing-seam metal on complex rooflines. YHS documents storm damage to the standard those policies require and installs like-kind replacements.
Barrington's housing is unlike the rest of the northwest suburbs: multi-acre lots in Barrington Hills and North Barrington, custom homes in South Barrington and Inverness, and historic properties near downtown and Jewel Park. Roofs run 40–80 squares, with cedar shake, luxury asphalt shingles, and metal accents — and many were installed 20–30 years ago.
Cedar shake is especially vulnerable to hail and wind, and many Barrington homeowners now convert to Class 4 luxury asphalt shingles that look like shake but carry a 50-year warranty and often qualify for an insurance discount. We handle the conversion, the village architectural approval, and the claim that funds it.

Barrington-area roofs are large and complex, so replacements typically run $18,000–$45,000 for premium architectural shingles and $40,000–$90,000+ for cedar shake or metal systems. Storm-damage claims usually reduce the homeowner's cost to the deductible.
Yes. Cedar-to-asphalt conversions are one of our most common Barrington projects. We install luxury Class 4 shingles (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed) that mimic the shake profile, and we handle the village's architectural approval where it applies.
Yes — the entire Barrington area including Barrington Hills, South Barrington, North Barrington, Lake Barrington, and Inverness. Our Elgin headquarters is about 15 miles away, so inspections are usually same-day or next-day.
Often, yes. Illinois carriers generally must provide a reasonable match; when a matching shingle is discontinued or a partial repair would be visibly mismatched, full replacement is frequently approved. Our claims team builds the matching argument with product documentation and photos.
