A roof here takes a beating most of the country never sees. Ninety-degree Julys, sub-zero Januarys, and a freeze-thaw cycle in between that works fasteners loose a fraction at a time. Add the hail that comes through most springs and you have a climate that finds every shortcut an installer took.

Tip Top Roofing has been replacing residential roofs across Illinois and Wisconsin since 1998 — asphalt shingle, standing seam metal, cedar shake, slate, and BRAVA composite. The crews on your roof are our employees, not subcontractors hired that morning, and that single fact does more for how long a roof lasts than any material you could choose.

Most homeowners reach us one of two ways: something is leaking, or the roof is old enough that they’d rather replace it on their schedule than the weather’s. Either way, we start the same — a free inspection, an honest read on whether you need a full replacement or a repair, and an itemized estimate you can actually compare against someone else’s.
