Residential Roof Replacement in Evanston

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.

Flat & Low-Slope Commercial Roofing

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

🏒 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.

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 Roof Replacement system and lower attic temperatures in summer.
