A family roofing company serving Lake Zurich and the rest of Illinois through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Lake Zurich, IL home is likely to need.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
We have never charged for an estimate and we are not about to start. A Lake Zurich homeowner ought to be able to find out what a roof costs without buying a sales pitch first, so we measure, photograph what we find, and put a real number on paper.
What people tell us most often is that we told them the truth. Sometimes that truth is that the Lake Zurich roof they were ready to replace has another eight or ten years in it and only needs the valleys resealed.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Lake Zurich? Start here.
For most Lake Zurich homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Most Lake Zurich houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Lake Zurich metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Lake Zurich roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Lake Zurich roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
A metal roof installed properly on a Lake Zurich home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
