Four counties, four sets of permit offices
The area spans Champaign County (Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, Rantoul, Mahomet), Vermilion County (Danville), Douglas County (Tuscola) and Piatt County (Monticello). Re-roofing generally needs a building permit, but the office that issues it depends on where the building sits. Champaign uses its Fire Department's Building Safety Division; Urbana, Savoy and the county have their own departments. The contractor normally pulls the permit, so ask each bidder which office they will file with.
What does not change at the county line is licensing. Commercial roofing anywhere in Illinois requires an unlimited roofing license from IDFPR. A limited license covers only residential buildings and condo buildings of eight units or fewer. We ask contractors to confirm their unlimited license; you can check any number beginning with 104- at idfpr.illinois.gov.
Prices do not follow town lines either. The commercial roofing cost guide lists typical national ranges by system, and the process page explains what happens after you ask for quotes.
Smaller towns and areas we do not cover
Buildings in smaller places between these towns, such as St. Joseph, Tolono, Philo, Sidney or Thomasboro, are often reached by the same contractors who work in Champaign-Urbana. Send the form with your ZIP code and the contractors who serve it can reply.
Bloomington-Normal and Decatur are not covered. Both are separate commercial roofing markets about 45 to 55 miles away, with their own contractors. This site focuses on Champaign-Urbana and the towns listed above.
