Our Services

Metal Roofing Solutions for Every Evanston Roof

Whether it's an emergency leak at 2am or a planned replacement you've been putting off, Big Toms Roofing brings the same certified crew and the same upfront pricing to every Evanston job.

01

Storm Damage & Emergency Tarping

A leak that starts as a small stain can rot decking and framing within weeks. Our emergency response teams treat every active-leak call in Evanston as urgent β€” temporary stabilization first, permanent fix scheduled right behind it.

02

Complete Tear-Off & Reroof

When patching stops making financial sense, a full tear-off and reroof resets the clock on your home. We strip old material down to the deck, replace any rotten sheathing, install proper underlayment and ice-and-water protection, and finish with a manufacturer-certified shingle or metal system backed by a real warranty.

Downtime costs money, so commercial Metal Roofing jobs get scheduled around your operating hours whenever possible, with clear communication to property managers and tenants throughout the project.

Roof Inspections & Maintenance

Buying or selling a home in Evanston? A pre-purchase roof inspection gives you real leverage in negotiations and peace of mind about what you're actually buying β€” no guessing about remaining roof life.

Gutter, Flashing & Ventilation Repair

Poor attic ventilation cooks shingles from underneath and can void manufacturer warranties. Our Evanston crews balance intake and exhaust ventilation to extend the life of your Metal Roofing system and lower attic temperatures in summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Metal Roofing in Evanston

How fast can a Metal Roofing technician get to my home in Evanston?+
For active leaks or storm damage, we prioritize Evanston calls and typically have a crew on-site within a few hours. Standard inspections and estimates are usually scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, often sooner depending on our current route through Evanston.
Will I get a written estimate before you begin?+
Yes. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written, itemized estimate. We don't start work off a verbal quote, and the price you approve is the price on the final invoice unless you request additional work.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Evanston, IL?+
Yes β€” Big Toms Roofing is fully licensed to perform Metal Roofing in IL, and we carry both general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We're happy to provide documentation before you sign anything.
What happens if my roof is leaking right now?+
Our emergency line is staffed around the clock. If water is actively coming in, call +1-855-469-0306 first β€” we'll get a tarp and temporary fix in place fast, then schedule the permanent repair.
Do you handle insurance paperwork?+
Yes β€” we document damage with detailed photos and can meet your adjuster on-site to walk through findings. Many Evanston customers say this cuts weeks off their claim process.

A standard single-family reroof usually wraps in a day or two once we're on-site; larger or steeper roofs, or metal systems, can take a bit longer. You'll get an exact estimate before we schedule.

We install asphalt shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, plus standing-seam metal roofing and flat/low-slope commercial membranes like TPO and EPDM.
