"Franos worked with my insurance company for a year to get approval for a storm damaged roof. Complete tear off and replacement completed in 1 day. When they were finished the only sign that they were there is a new roof. No scraps or nails left anywhere! Crew was courteous, efficient and did a great job!"

"Excellent service and follow-up. The roof was completed in one day and the gutters and downspouts two days later. Nick kept us informed throughout the process."

"We were very pleased with A&D Exteriors. We got estimates from 3 potential roofers. A&D offered a lot of services and material for a very competitive price. Gene, our project manager, did not try to oversell us or scare us into more than we needed. He kept us apprised of steps in the process, especially when weather delayed our date. Excellent communication! We had checked out the ratings of the the 2 different shingle manufacturers they offered as well as a third offered by one of the other roofing companies. We found A & D offered high quality material. We easily made decisions about various options and signed the contract. They pulled the permits and our installation went very smoothly, taking only one day. No money was required until the project was completed. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. They were extra careful with the plantings around the house, protecting everything, and meticulous in the clean-up. This was important to us because we just had some new landscaping put in. It couldn’t have gone better. We would certainly recommend A&D Exteriors."

"Jake Krygier, Scott Nettesheim and their roofing and gutter crews completed a professional job on our home. Of all the firms we interviewed, Infinity Exteriors was the best at being the most thorough during the quoting process, going over all details without requiring that they first be awarded the job or be given any sign that they are a finalist. After they quoted the job, they were responsive to every follow up question. During the quoting process, Jake did an excellent job identifying, on his own, special roof and gutter design issues with our home, the kind of detail that the other firms did not notice. He also came up with a creative solution to a known roof issue. At the first meeting at our home, Jake brought roof and gutter materials for my wife and I to review and select, something else that none of the other firms did. As the job date approach this Spring, Scott was accommodating regarding the COVID 19 crisis, respecting our concerns about their crew and our family keeping safe and healthy. As the job progressed, the roofing crew, led by Enrique, was respectful about our concerns about keeping the landscaping undamaged. The gutter crew was also professional. Our gutter system has three issues related to the design of our home. The crew identified two of those issues on their own, brought them to our attention, and developed practical solutions. My wife and I were quite worried that our home would not look the same with asphalt shingles, as our home was built with cedar shake. Jake helped us select an affordable asphalt shingle that he felt could offer a look as special as what we had with cedar shake. To our surprise, once the roof was done, we realized that the choice of asphalt shingle has resulted in a curb appeal that is actually better than what the cedar shake created. Bottom line. We could not be more pleased with our investment in a new roof, as a result of the excellent work of Infinity Exteriors."

"Robert’s company was hired to do the roof and replace the gutters and downspouts at my mother’s house this past summer (2020). My mom hired him because he had done a good job replacing the siding back in 2003 and trusted his work. Robert and his crew were prompt, efficient and responsive to any questions we had. They completed the job in a timely fashion and made sure everything was cleaned up. Thanks Robert and Co. for all your help!"

"I highly recommend M Construction- their roofing work on my home was exemplary! M Construction's Chuck and Mike are knowledgeable, honest, great communicators, and trustworthy. They provided me with roofing milestone dates and met every milestone. Their pricing is very competitive and they used premium materials throughout. I'm unfamiliar with the roofing process which is why it was so important to have Chuck and Mike guiding and informing me throughout. They sent me pictures of the roofing work completed each day which really put my mind at ease. I made an excellent choice in choosing M Construction and I'm so happy and grateful that I did! They did a fantastic job installing my new asphalt shingle roof, constructing and installing new soffits and fascia, and also new gutters and gutter guards. My roof is beautiful, my soffit expertly constructed and installed, and my new gutters and gutter guards got tested during the recent thunderstorms and scored an A+. I am very impressed and thrilled with their work. My neighbors observed and commented on the excellent work M Construction's team did during the roof installation, which they finished in one day. Wow- do not hesitate to hire M Construction for your next roofing job!"

"My new roof was completed on Monday, June 19. Not only was Estate Exteriors the best estimate of choice, but their work was exceptional! My neighbor commented on how precise they were in measuring and replacing a few wood roof panels as needed. They were extremely careful with clean-up. I have a dog, so am happy there were NO nails found in my yard, and all bits of roofing materials were picked up. It was a pleasure working with Eugene. I found him to be very honest and appreciated his advise. I HIGHLY recommend Estate Exteriors Inc. to anyone considering repairing or replacing their roof. Jan M. Naperville"

"Seidel provided a competitive bid to replace the roof and gutters. We had some specific questions with respect to the work. Udo responded to our questions pretty quickly and thoroughly. One question we had in particular was how Seidel would deal with the existing skylight. Udo was quite specific in his response: "on the skylights there is a factory step flashing that is very high quality aluminum with a baked on enamel finish and i can assure it will not have to be replaced. our procedure around the skylight is as follows. remove skylight frame and step flashing wrap skylight with ice/water shield. re install step flashing over ice/water shield. install skylight frame over ice/water shield and step flashing. this will give you a permanent seal. " Based on the competitive bid, the thorough response, and the good reviews, we decided to go with Udo and Seidel. Seidel completed the work in Fall 2013 according to the contract specifications. We have for the most part been happy with the outcome in terms of both the aesthetics of the roof, as well as its function. However, several weeks ago (March 2017), my wife noticed serious leaks from the skylight in our kitchen ceiling. The leaks were serious enough to cause water damage to our kitchen floor. When she called Seidel, the person who answered the phone advised there was no way the roof could be the problem, and refused to even take a look at the situation. When my wife asked about tarping the roof until the leak could be repaired, he advised Seidel would charge $400 to tarp the roof. That weekend, I left a message for Udo asking him to call me back to discuss looking at the leak to determine the root cause. I never heard anything from Udo or Siedel. We have since sought bids from other contractors to repair the leak. My complaint has more to do with Seidel's complete lack of responsiveness to this most recent situation, rather than to their workmanship in replacing the roof in 2013. I did not initially place the call expecting Seidel to do anything other than inspect the situation, and advise what steps to take to resolve it - whether it had to do with Seidel repairing any problems with the roof, or replacing the skylight. Unfortunately, Seidel did not even bother to check. Given their lack of responsiveness, I do not foresee using them or recommending them in the future as a result of this experience."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Island Lake, IL

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
