Posted on Google Lauren KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dad Exteriors exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right! My building hired them to address water intrusion issues, and we were impressed with their thorough approach from the very beginning. They performed a detailed inspection of our property, taking extensive photos to document problem areas and potential concerns. They then provided a comprehensive report outlining the issues they identified and the work needed to get our property back into great shape. I really appreciated their transparency and attention to detail. The work included tuckpointing, installing new seamless gutters to replace our undersized ones, and caulking areas where water could potentially enter. During the project, Daniel, the project manager, noticed a missing roof shingle and poorly installed flashing around the fireplace from a previous roofing job. I appreciated him bringing these issues to my attention and having his team address them. They replaced the flashing and did an excellent job matching the new shingles to the existing roof. Daniel was fantastic throughout the entire process! He was responsive, kept me informed, and made sure everything was done right. Finding reliable contractors isn’t always easy, but I was very impressed with the quality of their work, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. I would highly recommend Dad Exteriors!Posted on Google Norah MeadowsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Dad Exteriors on our Roscoe Village home. The project included a complete shingle roof replacement, tearing off the old roofing, rebuilding our front porch deck, and several other exterior improvements. Michael and his team were fantastic throughout the process. Daniel managed the project, Armina kept everything organized and communicated with us regularly, and the crews were professional and paid attention to the details. What really stood out was how well the entire project was coordinated. We always knew what was happening, what came next, and who to contact with questions. The new roof and front porch look great, and we're really happy with the quality of the work. We'd definitely recommend Dad Exteriors to anyone in Chicago looking for a reliable roofing contractor or exterior renovation company.Posted on Google Joe FerencTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Daniel with Dad Exteriors who was able to help us! He took his own time to be able to help us with his professional expertise with our roof while working on a project in our neighborhood. Thank you Daniel!Posted on Google Will MatthewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing experience. The crew was thoughtful and reasonable about what fixes needed to be made and were transparent throughout the entire process!Posted on Google David KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael was a great help in looking at my roof and masonry. Explaining clearly and informatively on the why and how things happened. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. I would recommend him to everyonePosted on Google But TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our condo board booked a Dad Check with Dad Exteriors, and it was so helpful. Michael explained everything in great detail, so we knew exactly what was going on with the building and what needed attention. Daniel did a great job fixing our roof, and when the job wrapped up everything was left in great condition. We’d recommend Dad Exteriors to any condo board looking for a thorough, honest team.Posted on Google Joseph LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our roofing project with Dad Exteriors was easy from start to finish. There were clear steps, good communication and a clean site at the end. Would hire them again.Posted on Google Eric LuizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great prompt, high quality work replaced all windows & patio doors for our 4th floor condoPosted on Google Frank KielyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael (Dad) came out to assess my 10 unit condo as agreed and spent the appropriate time to deliver a thorough proposal. He was one of the few that was capable of the roof replacement and extensive deck work with in house team vs as General Contractor. I also appreciated his knowledge and education received regarding tuck pointing and overall building maintenance. I would recommend DAD’s to anyone looking for professional, trustworthy building maintenance.Posted on Google Megan ChuaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Dad Exteriors during the estimate process. Scheduling was straightforward with Michael and his project manager - they sent a calendar invite and showed up during the time window. Even prior to the visit, Michael already was prepared with measurements from the satellite imaging. In-person visit consisted of walking around the house to inspect, and Michael also flew up a drone to take pictures of the roof. I appreciated that Michael took the time to explain and answer questions + was upfront about what work he saw was needed/not needed (i.e. did not feel like a sales pitch). The detailed estimate came shortly after and included pictures of the roof.

Roof replacements start at $12,850. Your price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the system you choose and what we find underneath. You get a written scope and price before any work starts.
Yes. We install architectural shingle roofs on pitched homes, and modified bitumen and TPO flat roofs on two flats, condo buildings and commercial buildings.
If the roof is healthy and the problem is in one spot, a repair usually makes sense. If it's near the end of its life or you're patching it every year, replacing it is the better investment. We'll show you photos and tell you which we'd do.
We roof homes and buildings in Chicago neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Bucktown and Logan Square, plus Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glenview, Park Ridge and the rest of the North Shore.
