Start With Three Steps
A roof problem rarely announces itself politely. It shows up as a brown ceiling stain, a drip in the attic, or shingles scattered across the lawn after a storm.
Here is the short plan.
1. First, stay safe and keep off the roof. 2. Next, limit the mess inside. Move items, set out a bucket, and take photos. 3. Then, get a local provider on the line.
Feltbroken Roofing helps with step three. We are a referral service, not a roofing company. We connect homeowners in New Lenox, IL and the New Lenox area with independent local roofing contractors who do the actual work.
The goal is less searching. Instead of scrolling through listings while a stain spreads, you describe the job once and get pointed to a provider. Request a callback to check provider availability for a replacement or a repair.

How It Works
What Feltbroken Roofing Is
Feltbroken Roofing is a referral service for roofing. That is all. We do not climb ladders or tear off shingles, and we do not send anyone to your home to do the work. Independent local providers do the work, and they set their own schedules, prices, and terms.
The Process, In Order
1. Tell us the problem. Say whether you need a new roof or a repair, and what you see. 2. Get connected. Your request goes to a local provider in our network. 3. Talk it through. The provider asks questions and may schedule a roof inspection. 4. Compare quotes. Ask for a written quote that lists materials, labor, and cleanup. 5. Decide. You choose. There is no obligation to hire anyone.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not perform roofing work.
- We do not set provider prices.
- We do not promise a start date. Availability varies by provider, and many can respond quickly.
- We do not decide insurance claims.
Why Use a Referral Service
Searching alone means many tabs, many voicemails, and a lot of guessing. A referral keeps the first step short. You explain the job once, and a local provider picks it up from there. That matters most when water is already getting in and you need a plan, not a long search.
Where We Connect Homeowners
Feltbroken Roofing serves homeowners in New Lenox, IL and across the New Lenox area. Providers in our network are independent, and each one covers its own set of neighborhoods and nearby towns.
Roofs here work hard. Winters are cold, with deep frost and heavy snow. Summers turn hot and humid. Severe thunderstorms and hail roll through, and spring brings flooding that tests every gutter and downspout. Many local houses are frame homes that have stood for decades. Bungalows and ranch homes are common, and their long, low roof lines take the full force of hail and wind.
Local roofing contractors know this mix. They know which shingles handle big temperature swings, and how older decking holds up after years of weather.

A Local Homeowner's Roof Checklist
First Hour: Stay Calm and Stay Safe
First, keep off the roof. Wet shingles and ladders are a risky mix. Check the ceiling for sagging. If it bulges, stay out of that room.
Next: Limit the Damage Inside
Move furniture and rugs away from drips. Put a bucket under the leak. Poke a small hole in a bulging ceiling only if it is safe, so water can drain into a container.
Then: Document Everything
Take photos from the ground and from inside. Write down the date and what happened. Providers can often help document damage for a claim.
Emergency Roof Repair or Full Replacement?
A few missing shingles or one leak often points to a repair. Widespread wear, curling, bald spots, or repeated leaks point toward replacement. A provider can inspect and tell you which is more sensible.
Hail Damage Roof Replacement
Hail leaves dents, cracked shingles, and bare granules. Damage can be hard to see from the ground. If a hailstorm just passed, ask a provider for a roof inspection before small bruises become leaks.
Storm Damage Repair
High winds lift shingles and toss branches. Look for loose flashing, missing pieces, and debris. A temporary cover is common while you wait for permanent storm damage repair.
Frost, Thaw, and Spring Water
Deep frost and winter thaw cycles can push ice into gaps. Ice buildup at the eaves forces meltwater under shingles. Clear gutters in spring, since heavy rain and flooding season will test them. Dry attics and tidy roof drainage also help keep water away from basements and sump pumps.
What Roofing Costs
Typical U.S. ranges vary by job. Small repairs often run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars. A full asphalt shingle replacement commonly runs from several thousand to well over ten thousand. Roof size, pitch, and materials change the number, so get a written quote.
Insurance and Your Policy
Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a storm or hail. Wear and age are often treated differently. Check your policy and talk with your insurer.
