"Robert with Overall Builders was outstanding from beginning to end. He was very prompt with his initial response, gave me a very fair quote over the phone and quickly provided advice and date/times to complete the work. The work was done exactly as planned and he was careful in making sure everything was cleaned up before leaving. It is hard to find skilled tradesmen like him that I am having him quote me on additional tasks. I don’t think you can go wrong by looking into Robert and Overall Builders for either small or large remodeling projects around your home."

"Beckett came to fix up my bathroom and make it a dream! He added crown moulding, replaced my sink, toilet and vanity. He kept the bathroom tidy everyday after the day was done. I would highly recommend him for jobs such as these especially if you want it done exceptionally well! I couldn't find a single thing out of place that I wasn't in love with! Thank you so much for making my bathroom dreams come true!"

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

"The project went very smoothly overall.  My husband and I both work full time and have a houseful of kids.  We felt very lucky that the job was under control and that we were able to trust this company to handle the major job at hand without us having to hover and micromanage.  This could have been a very stressful experience, but rather I felt reassured and calm knowing that the repairs were solid and the finishes are beautiful! <br /> <br /> Communication was excellent throughout, as well.  I was never left wondering what time the crew was going to arrive or how much the project was going to cost me or if the area was going to be cleaned up each night.  Everything was above-board and clear. <br /> <br /> This company went above and beyond in representing and advocating for us to get a fair settlement with our insurance company.  Their knowledge, experience, and dedication made the whole process easy.  Everything had already been thought of before we had to become stressed about it.  <br /> <br /> We are already planning our next projects that we have wanted to complete, but dreaded.  Now we know who to call for the job to be done on time and ON BUDGET! <br /> <br /> We are grateful for the help, concern, and dedication. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"The large soffit on our 100+ year-old prairie-style house needed painting, as well as some minor carpentry repairs.  The two painters from Drake did an excellent job on the repairs and painting, and finished the job in one day, as the <br /> estimator had predicted, for a very reasonable cost.  They were conscientious, thorough, and a pleasure to have work on our house. <br />   <br />"

"Casey came on time (although a little early) on his first visit. He did a thorough inspection of the roof , first with me from the ground, and then he climbed to the roof for a closer look. He also checked my attic. He gave me what repairs are needed (renail some lifted shingles and replace ridge vent shingles) and gave me a quote later that day. Casey was accessible by email or phone for any further questions. On the scheduled day of work, he dropped off materials and gave instructions to his roofers. He stopped by the next morning, climbed up the roof to inspect the completed work to make sure nothing was missed and removed the garbage bag of replaced shingles. Overall, Casey was very polite and answered any questions I had. He was also thorough with his inspections. The work was on the expensive side but I felt that it was worth it based on the quality and the service and advice provided. I will be calling him again for roof inspection and roof replacement."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse repair projects in Lake Forest, IL

You’ll know it’s time for a new shed roof if shingles curl or buckle, soft spots sag, or water stains appear inside. Moss or other plant growth on the surface is another red flag that moisture has breached the roofing layers. Replacing the roof quickly stops leaks from spreading, protects stored items, and saves you from costlier structural repairs down the road.

Choosing between a flat and a sloped shed roof comes down to climate, budget, and upkeep. A flat roof is cheaper up front, but still needs a slight pitch for drainage. A sloped roof sheds rain and snow more easily, lasts longer, and often needs less maintenance. Weigh your local weather patterns, the look you want, and how much time you’re willing to spend on upkeep before deciding.

A shed roof’s life span hinges on the material you choose and how well you maintain it. Most standard products last 15 to 30 years, while premium picks like slate or clay tile can protect the structure for 50 to 100 years. Regular inspections, fast fixes, and routine cleaning all help you reach the upper end of those ranges and keep your tools and gear dry year-round.
