Crafting Chicago's historic skyline with ambition and artistry since 1947
“…my deep gratitude for the roofing recently completed on the shrine of our late Catholicos-Patriarch… be assured of our complete satisfaction”

It’s your choice:
Conrad quality or questionable quality.
There’s a lot to consider when choosing a company to install or restore your roof. But you can know that when you choose Conrad, you choose unquestionable quality.
The confidence with Conrad Roofing
The best in expertise and workmanship
Conrad employs highly skilled, certified, and experienced professionals who follow best industry practices. They specialists in complex projects like historic restorations or high-end commercial roofing, and they are masters in residential roofing quality.
The best materials and durability
Conrad uses top-tier materials that last longer and provide better protection against harsh weather. Conrad has relationships and expertise to source the exclusive, high-end products that lower-cost competitors may not offer. The result is a more durable and aesthetically beautiful roof.
The best warranties and guarantees
Conrad stands behind our work, offering longer and more inclusive warranties for both materials and labor. This ensures peace of mind, as you're covered in case of defects, installation errors, or unexpected issues.
The best project management and customer service
Our expertise dating back to 1947 means you should expect better communication, project management, and customer service throughout the roofing process. Expect clear timelines, regular updates, and dedicated project managers to handle permits, inspections, and unexpected challenges efficiently.
Long-term cost savings
We expect your initial investment in your roof to be higher. So you should expect our better-quality installation to reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and premature replacements. A well-installed roof improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and increases the property’s resale value, making it a smart long-term investment.
The questions with other roofing
Questionable workmanship and expertise
Does the company hire experienced and properly trained professionals, or are they cutting costs by using lower-skilled labor? Will they follow industry best practices, or take shortcuts that could lead to leaks, structural issues, or premature failure? If the project is complex (such as historic restoration or specialized commercial roofing), do they have the necessary expertise, or are they just "figuring it out" as they go?
Lower-quality materials and shorter lifespan
Are they using subpar or cheaper materials that might degrade faster, requiring costly repairs or a full replacement sooner than expected? Do they have access to premium products, or are they using whatever is cheapest and easiest to obtain? Will the materials they use truly protect against harsh weather conditions, or will the roof fail under heavy rain, snow, or strong winds?
Limited or unreliable warranties
If something goes wrong, will the company stand behind their work, or will they disappear when issues arise? Is the warranty they provide actually worth anything, or does it contain fine print that makes it difficult to get repairs covered? Do they offer a labor warranty, or just a manufacturer warranty (which only covers defects in materials but not improper installation)?
Poor project management and communication
Will they be responsive and professional, or will you be left chasing them for updates? Do they have a clear timeline, or will delays and mismanagement drag the project out much longer than expected? If unexpected issues arise (such as structural damage or permitting challenges), will they handle them properly, or leave you scrambling to fix it yourself?
Hidden long-term costs
Will the initial "savings" actually cost more in the long run due to frequent repairs and premature replacement? Will a poorly installed roof cause higher energy bills due to inadequate insulation or improper sealing? Could a bad roofing job hurt the home's resale value, making it harder to sell or reducing its worth?
