Storm damage roof repair

Many homeowners all over the nation have experienced the upset that a discovery of possible storm damage to their house can cause.

Most affected individuals may decide to go about an inspection for themselves, while others may ignore any potential signs that damage may have been incurred. What homeowners don't realize is that both of these actions may cost them a great deal of money in the long run.

By not taking advantage of our free, expert storm damage inspection and evaluation, friendly guidance and special knowledge of home insurance and claims processing, they risk voiding their installation and manufacturer’s warranties.

Custom copper

Copper is a gorgeous metal that gives your home a unique, customized look. Copper can be one of the priciest of metals used in roofing; the Shake Guys can explain how you can affordably incorporate copper accents to get the shine, look and luster without the astronomical price tag.

Our coppersmiths emphasize the strengths and natural beauty of your home with copper sheet metal, turning functional — and often unsightly — portions of your home into appealing complements. With the care of artisan masters and the knowledge of engineers, the Shake Guys team produces the perfect copper-accented cedar shake roofs for clients in the Chicagoland area.
