Our Services

What Big Toms Roofing Handles in Evanston

From a single missing shingle to a full tear-off, our Evanston crews handle every stage of roofing work with the same attention to detail β€” licensed, permitted, and cleaned up when we leave.

01

Emergency Roof Repair & Storm Damage

High winds, hail, and fallen limbs don't schedule appointments, and neither should your repair. Our Evanston emergency crews arrive with tarps, decking material, and fasteners to stop active leaks the same day you call, then follow up with a full repair plan once the storm passes.

⚑ Same-day response🌧️ Active leak stabilizationπŸ“‹ Insurance photo documentation
02

Full Roof Replacement

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.

πŸ—οΈ Full tear-off & deck inspection🧾 Manufacturer warranties🧹 Daily jobsite cleanup
03

Commercial Roofing Services

We work directly with property management companies and HOAs across Evanston to keep flat and low-slope roofs maintained on a predictable schedule, instead of waiting for emergency calls that disrupt business.

🏒 TPO, EPDM & modified bitumenπŸ“… Scheduled around business hours🀝 Property manager coordination
04

Pre-Purchase & Insurance Inspections

After a wind or hail event, insurance companies want documented proof of damage. Our inspection team photographs and reports storm damage in a format adjusters recognize, which speeds up claim approval.

05

Flashing, Gutters & Attic Ventilation

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 Roof Installation system and lower attic temperatures in summer.

Why Choose Us

What Sets Big Toms Roofing Apart in Evanston

Every one of these commitments exists because a Evanston homeowner asked for it, complained about a competitor's lack of it, or we learned it the hard way.

01

No Surprise Invoices

You'll know the exact scope and cost in writing before work starts, and that number doesn't move unless you approve a change.

02

Rapid Local Response Times

Local dispatch means less time waiting and more time getting your roof actually fixed.

03

Licensed & Manufacturer-Certified

Our installers hold current manufacturer certifications, which means your warranty stays intact and the work meets code.

04

Satisfaction Guarantee

Every completed job comes with a written workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer's material warranty.

05

We Speak Adjuster

We document damage the way adjusters expect to see it, which shortens the back-and-forth on storm claims.

06

No Nails Left Behind

Magnetic nail sweeps and tarp-protected landscaping are standard on every job, not an upsell.

"We had a leak show up during a storm at night and I honestly didn't expect anyone to answer the phone. Big Toms Roofing had a crew tarping our roof within a couple hours and came back two days later to do the real repair. Can't recommend them enough."
