Lake in the Hills grew from a few thousand residents to nearly thirty thousand in about fifteen years, and almost all of that housing went up in the 1990s and early 2000s. Builder-grade three-tab shingles have a realistic service life of 20 to 25 years. Those roofs are now 25 to 35 years old, which is why you see three tear-offs on one block in a single summer here.
Lake in the Hills' Trusted Exterior Experts
Lake in the Hills subdivisions were built on open farmland with young landscaping, so there is far less tree canopy between a hailstorm and your shingles than in older McHenry County towns. Fast-built subdivisions also tend to ship with the minimum attic ventilation code allowed, which cooks shingles from below and shortens roof life by years. Gen Ex Construction backs every project with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Why is my whole neighborhood replacing roofs at once?
Because they were all built at once. Most of Lake in the Hills went up between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s using the same builder-grade shingles, so an entire subdivision reaches the end of its original roof within a few years of its neighbors. If your street is seeing tear-offs, it is worth having yours inspected even if you have no visible problem yet.
