What We Do

Roofing & Exterior Services in Winnetka

Residential and commercial — every part of your roof, handled in-house.

Winnetka’s historic and architect-designed homes were built with slate, copper, and cedar — materials that reward craftsmanship and punish shortcuts. We handle repairs, full replacements, and specialty roofing in-house, fabricating our own copper and metal details to match the original architecture rather than forcing modern off-the-shelf parts. No subcontract crews. Owner on every project.

Local Context

Built for Winnetka Roofs

Winnetka is one of the North Shore’s most architecturally significant villages — early-1900s estates in Tudor, Georgian, and Colonial styles, many still carrying their original slate, clay, or copper roofs under a mature tree canopy near Lake Michigan. Restoring or replacing those roofs takes real metalwork and material matching, not a generic tear-off. We fabricate our own copper and flashing to preserve the look while bringing the roof up to today’s weather standards.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do you provide roofing estimates in Winnetka?

Yes — we provide detailed written estimates throughout Winnetka and the surrounding North Shore. Call (877) 850-5292 or fill out our estimate form, and we’ll come inspect the roof and attic in person.

Do you restore historic slate, copper, and tile roofs in Winnetka?

Yes — material matching and in-house metal fabrication are exactly what these homes need. We replicate copper details, flashing, and trim to preserve the original architecture while making the roof watertight for today’s weather.

How do I know if my roof has storm or hail damage?

Look for granules in the gutters, dented or bruised shingles, and missing shingles after high winds. Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground, so after a major storm we’ll inspect, document everything with photos, and give you the written estimate your insurer needs.

Are you actually local to Winnetka?

Yes — we’re based in Arlington Heights and have served the North Shore and NW suburbs since 2007. We’re not a storm chaser and not a franchise.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most homes are finished in 1–2 days; historic homes with slate, copper, or complex rooflines may take several days. You’ll get a specific timeline in your estimate before any work begins.
