How to choose the best roofer in Illinois
Before you hire, run any roofer through this checklist. We make it easy by matching you with local pros who already meet the bar, so you can compare the best on price and reviews.
Licensed and insured
Confirm a valid state license plus general liability and workers comp insurance before any work starts.
Local and established
Pick a roofer with a real Illinois-area address and a track record, not an out-of-town storm chaser.
Strong recent reviews
Check Google, the BBB, and similar sites for recent, consistent reviews from local homeowners.
A detailed written estimate
Get the full scope, materials, and price in writing, not a one-line number on the back of a card.
A real warranty
Look for both a workmanship warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the materials they install.
Fair payment terms
Walk away from anyone who demands a large cash deposit up front. Reasonable deposits and milestones are normal.
At least three quotes
Comparing three local roofers is the best way to spot a fair price and a pushy sales pitch.
No high-pressure tactics
Be wary of door-knockers after a storm who push you to sign on the spot.
