Hiring a Roofing & Siding Contractor

What to Know Before You Hire

Your roof, siding, and gutters protect your home. The right contractor should understand materials, flashing, ventilation, water management, and how the exterior performs as one system. Ask these four questions before you sign a contract.

01

How much roofing and siding work have you completed recently?

Ask about projects from the last 12 months—not only a lifetime total—and look for experience with the service and materials your home needs.

02

Are you trained or certified for the products you install?

Manufacturer requirements vary by roofing and siding system. Ask what training the crew has and how the installation affects product and workmanship warranties.

03

Can I see your license and certificate of insurance?

Verify current licensing, general liability, and workers’ compensation coverage before work begins.

04

Can I speak with recent local customers?

Ask for nearby roofing or siding projects similar to yours. Then review the finished work, or at least read reviews for the type of work you need.

Strong roofing reviews do not automatically prove siding expertise, and vice versa. Look for recent projects that match your materials, home style, and scope.

Get a professional inspection before making a major decision.

Roof and siding problems often overlap, and visible damage may not reveal the full cause. Ask for photos and a written scope so you can compare recommendations and understand any insurance-related next steps.

Roof Replacement

A complete tear-off and a new system built to your home’s structure and Illinois code. Often the smart move when a roof’s age and storm damage arrive together — as they usually do on Chicago’s older housing stock.

Emergency Service

Roof Leak Repair

Active water intrusion is an emergency, not a maintenance item. We find exactly where water is getting in — including winter ice damming at the roof’s edge — and stop it fast, before interior damage spreads.

Overall great experience! Julius was fantastic to work with. He was very attentive to all the details and always there to answer questions and get the job done right. Whenever he said he would take care of something, he took care of it. The crew did a fantastic job and the workmanship was top notch. I can not believe how quickly they did a full replacement of our sheathing and roof shingles and still did a high quality job. They left the worksite spotlessly clean. We are getting lots of compliments from our neighbors on how good our roof looks. If you want your roof done right, go with this company.

Our sales specialist Ronny was awesome through the whole initial process and quoted me a very reasonable estimate to re-shingle garage roof and repair main roof shingles that blew off from heavy winds. The crew came and did an excellent job in one day and left the area clean as it was before. Will definitely use Horizon again and recommend them to everyone that needs any type of roofing work! -Ignacio

Our contact at Horizon Restoration was Art. He worked with our insurance company for over a year and a half to have our roof and siding replaced. The other persons behind the scenes at the office who were instrumental in assisting Art were Paul-Manager, Ruby-who was in charge of all correspondence, Jack-Install Manager who coordinated the crews for both the siding and roof, Claudio-On Site Roofing Manager and Mike-On Site Siding Manager. They worked seamlessly as a team and were always available when we had any questions or concerns. It is so nice to have Horizon Restoration going to bat for us. Especially Art whose experience and knowledge was so key in getting our insurance company to approve the replacement of our roof and siding. Our roof and siding look so nice we highly recommend Art and Horizon Restoration to anyone in need of their services. Thank you Art and Horizon for everything.

Storm Damage & Insurance

Storm Damage Restoration Done Right

When storm damage hits your home, the contractor you call first can make a major difference in the outcome. Horizon Restoration helps homeowners across the Chicago suburbs with roofing, siding, gutters, and windows after hail, wind, and severe weather.

Hail damage is tricky — often granule loss or bruising you can’t see from the ground — while wind shows up as lifted or missing shingles. When damage is severe enough, your policy may cover a full roof replacement instead of a patch job. Call before you file: it’s easier to get a claim right the first time than to appeal a denial.

Frequently Asked Questions

If damage shows up on several walls at once, or you find soft spots and mold behind the panels, replacement is the right call. Repair works when the problem is isolated to one small area. Chicago homes older than 25 years — especially in Bridgeport or Back of the Yards — often have siding that has simply reached the end of its life.
Fiber cement siding, like James Hardie, handles Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles better than vinyl or wood. Vinyl can crack in extreme cold, and wood rots when moisture gets in. Fiber cement resists moisture, pests, and fire. For older homes in Lincoln Park or Lakeview, it’s a popular upgrade from deteriorating wood siding.
Late spring through fall is the best window for siding projects in Chicago. Temperatures are stable, and crews can work without weather delays. Many homeowners wait too long and then rush after a bad storm season. Booking in spring gives you more scheduling flexibility and time to plan materials.
Yes, and any reputable contractor will insist on it. Installing new panels over damaged sheathing just hides the problem. Water damage, rot, and mold underneath will keep spreading. A sheathing inspection before installation is standard practice and protects your investment from day one.
Look for manufacturer certifications — they mean the installer is trained to follow product specs correctly. That matters for warranties and long-term performance. Ask if they do a sheathing inspection before installation. A contractor who skips that step is cutting corners. A free inspection and written property report before any work starts is a good sign you’re dealing with a professional.
