Expert roof repair, replacement, and historic home roofing for Evanston homeowners — licensed, insured, and experienced with the North Shore's most distinctive architecture.
Illinois Roofing Co. has served Evanston homeowners for over 15 years. Evanston is one of the most architecturally distinct communities in Illinois — home to sweeping Victorian estates along the lakefront, dense Craftsman bungalows near Central Street, Tudor Revivals throughout the Northwest neighborhoods, and Colonial-style homes surrounding Northwestern University. Each of these styles presents unique roofing challenges that require knowledge, precision, and the right materials.
Evanston's proximity to Lake Michigan also means its roofs face elevated moisture exposure, lake-effect snow accumulation, and severe wind events that track along the shoreline. We understand both the architectural demands and the climatic realities facing every Evanston homeowner.
Every estimate is free, written, and delivered with full transparency — no inflated quotes, no pressure, no surprises.
Call (708) 874-9182Full tear-off and replacement with careful attention to Evanston's architectural character. We match materials and profiles to your home's style — from historic estates to mid-century campus-area homes.
Leak diagnosis, shingle and slate repair, flashing restoration, and chimney work. Older Evanston homes often have complex multi-valley rooflines — we find the exact leak source every time.
Lake Michigan storms cause regular hail and wind damage in Evanston. We document all damage thoroughly and manage your insurance claim from inspection through final restoration.
Evanston's lakeside climate produces significant ice dams. We safely remove them and correct the ventilation and insulation deficiencies that allow them to form year after year.
Written reports with photos for Evanston home buyers, estate sellers, insurance renewals, and annual maintenance — covering all neighborhoods and the Northwestern University area.
Flat roof systems, TPO, and EPDM for Evanston commercial properties, mixed-use buildings, and multi-unit residential properties along the downtown corridor.
Evanston's housing stock is a roofing contractor's greatest challenge — and our greatest strength. The lakefront estates in South Evanston and along Sheridan Road feature steeply-pitched slate and architectural shingle roofs with multiple dormers, valleys, and ornamental details that demand expert craftsmanship. The Craftsman and Prairie-style bungalows near Central Street have lower-pitch roofs that are highly susceptible to ice dam formation. The Tudor Revivals throughout the Northwest neighborhood have cross-gabled designs and decorative half-timbering that require precise material matching around every transition.
We've worked on all of them. Our crews approach every Evanston home with the same level of care we'd apply to any piece of historic architecture — because in Evanston, the roof is often part of what makes the home exceptional.

"We have a 1910 Victorian on the lakefront. Illinois Roofing Co. understood the architectural details immediately, recommended a shingle that matched the original profile perfectly, and handled the City of Evanston permit without any hassle on our end. Exceptional work."
"Our Craftsman bungalow near Central Street had terrible ice dams every winter. Illinois Roofing found the ventilation deficiency immediately, fixed it properly during the re-roof, and we haven't had a single ice dam since. Worth every penny."
"Very professional from beginning to end. They gave us an honest assessment — our roof had another 5 years of life in it, so they recommended targeted repairs instead of pushing a full replacement. That kind of integrity is rare."
