"We just had our roof replaced by Berg, and the crew did a fantastic job. Complete tear-off of the old roof, some decking replaced, all new flashing, new vents, new attic fan. Professional crew, clean-up was thorough. Nick was our representative, he oversaw the entire project and kept us informed of what the crew was doing. I would absolutely recommend Berg Great company, great product, great installation process. We're very pleased!"

"Robert did every thing he promised to do. Communicated well through the process. Returned calls with answers to any questions I had. Very professional. I would recommend him for your next roof replace. Above all, if you have any questions or concern, prior or during the project and even after, Robert will get back to you quickly and answer any questions. Very Professional. He was on site at the start of the project, and reviewed all with the crew. Not like some companies the sales men promises the world and the installers do it their way. Robert went over the detail with the crew before they started. They did a great job."

"A&D replaced our parent's aged roof. Darek came a good distance to provide a free estimate. He explained thoroughly the work that his company would complete, as well as why it needed to be done. He offered material options and encouraged us to seek additional estimates for comparison purposes. A&D was extremely responsive with followup communication. When reaching out with questions, their response time to our inquiries was extremely fast. A&D followed through on all of their promises. A large work crew showed up on time and completed a complete tear off, down to the rafters, installed sheathing, ice & water shield (72 in.), all underlayments and shingles. They were done with the job, in it's entirety, by 5:00 p.m. Darek and Maciej spent several hours at our house, overseeing and working alongside the crew. They met all terms of the agreement and went above and beyond - sealing gutter end caps that were leaking and installing attic baffles, without asking for additional compensation. Afterwards, the crew spent time cleaning up the perimeter of our home, leaving no material wrappings or nails on the ground. Darek visited our parents' home the day after the roofing work, to ask if we had any questions and if we were pleased. He encouraged us to call A&D's office we had any issues with the roof moving forward. A&D Home Improvement is a company with the highest level of integrity. They take obvious pride in providing an experience where they work to please the client. Thank you A&D with a very satisfying experience!"

"I hired M Construction to replace a roof that had 2 layers of shingles. The crew that completed the work in 1 day and a half worked very hard and the roof looks great. Chuck, the owner was personable and kept me informed on the progress of the work. I thought the price was reasonable and they kept to the schedule that they told me. I was impressed with their work and the companies follow thru on completing the job as promised."

"They did amazing work, helped me jump a car with a dead battery to get it out of the way, and were able to do my whole roof in one day. They also cleaned up after themselves making sure nothing was left behind and that there were no old nails or debris anywhere."

"I have requested couple of different quotes to replace the roof on my garage. I decided to go with Infinity Exteriors. Logan Rezash worked with me who gave me the best deal. He was very professional and easy to talk to and explained in full details what they will provide me with my project. The materials and the warranty on the project that works for my budget. They kept me informed of the status of the project from the start to the finish. Their team that worked on the job was very polite and fast. They did an excellent job. They cleaned the yard and twice doubled checked for any loose nails around the garage. If you have a project to be done, I would recommend Infinity for your project. Dragica Miladinovic"

"John has been nothing but professional from day one!! I request a quote on a Friday evening through both their website and Home Advisor and John called Saturday to set up a time to come look at the roof and give us a quote. We set the date of the job and they arrived that morning and wasted no time in getting started. John was on the job site, and even climbed up on the roof to assist his crew. They were very thorough in not only the job, but the clean up after. They ensured all nails and excess materials were removed. Top notch job and would definitely recommend them to anyone getting a roof either repaired or replaced!!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in North Chicago, 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.
