Wheaton's tree-lined streets hide two very different roofs: steep 1920s–40s homes near downtown and Wheaton College, and the sprawling 1970s–90s two-stories of Danada, Briarcliffe, and Arrowhead — many still wearing their original cedar shake. YHS inspects for free, manages the DuPage County claim, and installs like-kind replacements.
The neighborhoods around downtown Wheaton and the college were built between 1900 and 1950 with steep-pitched roofs, dormers, and slate or wood details that demand careful tear-offs and proper flashing. Danada, Briarcliffe, Arrowhead, and Farnham came later — 1970s–90s subdivisions of large two-stories where cedar shake was the default and where those shakes are now well past their service life.
Wheaton's mature oak and maple canopy is part of its charm and part of its roofing problem: limbs down in every windstorm, debris that dams gutters, and shade that keeps north slopes damp and mossy. Our inspections cover the roof, the gutters, and the impact damage carriers routinely miss.

Claims Won
A certified inspector photographs every slope, measures the roof, and writes the damage report your claim will be built on.
We prepare the claim in the format adjusters expect and file it on your behalf — you stay in full control of your policy.
Our claims specialist walks the roof with the adjuster so nothing gets missed, then negotiates supplements for anything left out.
Once approved, our crews install the new roof, siding, or gutters — usually with only your deductible out of pocket.

Historic homes near downtown (18–28 squares, steep) typically run $11,000–$24,000; large Danada and Briarcliffe two-stories (32–48 squares) run $16,000–$34,000, more for cedar-to-luxury-shingle conversions. Approved storm claims usually limit your cost to the deductible.
