What permits and inspections does Bartlett require for a new roof?
In Bartlett, a building permit is required for any roof replacement project; the city enforces Illinois building code requirements. Verify the permit application names you as the property owner — when a Bartlett contractor pulls a permit in their own name, you can't independently track inspections or appeal failures.
What should a cold-climate roofing quote in Bartlett cover?
In Bartlett, a roofing quote should call out tear-off, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, ice and water shield, disposal/cleanup, and the permit. In a cold climate, your quote should explicitly include ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys, a balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation plan, and decking inspection — ice-dam damage is hidden until the next thaw. Any Bartlett bid that omits these items deserves a follow-up question; the gaps are how a "low" quote becomes the expensive one by the end.
