We utilize top-tier roofing systems engineered for Chicago’s harsh climate. We source exclusive products - including natural slate, clay tile, and heavy-gauge metal - that budget competitors cannot access, ensuring superior durability and aesthetic longevity.
Material & Labor Warranty
We stand firmly behind our work. As certified installers, we provide comprehensive warranties covering both premium materials and our workmanship. This protects your asset against defects, installation errors, or leaks for decades.
Seamless Project Management
Leveraging experience since 1947, we handle all logistics: from Chicago building permits and inspections to unforeseen structural challenges. You receive a dedicated project manager, clear timelines, and regular updates for a zero-stress process.
Maximum Return on Investment
We expect your initial investment in your roof to be higher. So you should expect our better-quality installation to reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and premature replacements. A well-installed roof improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and increases the property’s resale value, making it a smart long-term investment.
The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Contractor
Unqualified Labor & Structural Risks
Cutting costs often means using unskilled, transient subcontractors instead of certified roofers. This leads to code violations, immediate roof leaks, and major structural damage - especially on complex historical restorations or commercial projects where expertise is non-negotiable.
Inferior Materials & Premature Failure
Low bids often hide subpar materials that cannot withstand Chicago’s harsh weather. Using cheap asphalt shingles or low-grade flat roof membranes results in rapid degradation, forcing you to pay for a full roof replacement years sooner than expected.
Empty Warranties & Liability
Many contractors offer warranties that only cover material defects, not installation errors. If the workmanship fails or the company disappears (a common industry issue), you are left 100% liable for costly roof repairs and water damage restoration.
Delays & Project Mismanagement
Without professional project management, timelines drag on indefinitely. Poor communication leads to missed building permits, failed inspections, and chaos when unexpected structural issues arise, leaving you to manage the crisis alone.
The High Cost of "Cheap"
Initial savings often turn into long-term liabilities. Poorly installed roofs suffer from inadequate insulation, spiking your energy bills. Furthermore, visible defects and patchwork repairs significantly lower your property’s resale value.
