Roof was left with a large ridge down the middle and the shingles are buckling and look uneven. The company came out to take a look at the roof and continues to deny that the job was done incorrectly. We just wanted a job well done but we are very dissatisfied by the lack of customer service. Please consider other companies before this one. It may save you many future headaches. Update: We were told that all the plywood was replaced, so the should be no old plywood remaining. If we were told that it all had to be replaced, we would have agreed seeing as it is structurally important. Also, it’s been less than a year and the roof is leaking into the house. Our furnace has sustained WATER DAMAGE and has to be replaced as a result of the leaking roof put in by Great Lakes Siding & Roofing. Please DO NOT put your trust in Rick or Kim or anyone at this company. They will pressure you to get your roof replaced before then end of the year so they can drive their sales up. It’s obvious they do not care about the customer. After reaching out for help, they refused to fix the roof. The entire process was rushed and done incorrectly. We deeply regret using their services.

This roof was in bad shape and required 20 sheets of plywood changed out. If you look extremely close you can see where the new plywood meets the previous plywood. The roof passed inspection twice by the village building dept. One inspection was done in progress and the other inspection was done after completion.

They have multiple times left unwanted fliers on my door. This just litters the neighborhood with trash that blows around in the wind.

These guys were great!! Very responsive, very thorough and super nice! They explained everything before they did the work, showing pictures, so we could understand what they needed to do to fix our leaks. You can't go wrong with them.

I went on line and submitted a quote for my garage roof and I did receive a call within 24 hours. I saw the work that Great Lakes Roofing did late last year at home in Bellwood and was very happy with their work and the clean up. What I …

Dave and Rick were very helpful and knowledgeable. They dealt with the insurance company 100%. Everything was done as promised and on time. All evidence of a crew working on the roof was cleaned up. The new roof has been on my house about 8 months now and there have been no issues with it. I recommend this company and would use them again.

From beginning to end, my roofing project went smoothly and was stress free. I was very impressed with everyone that I dealt with. Dave answered all my questions and the crew did a great job cleaning up after they were done. I would definitely use this company again for a future project.

Great Lakes Roofing has worked on 2 properties of ours over the last couple years, and we have enjoyed working with them through each project. They are always fair, and get the job done on time. I would highly recommend.

Dave was great! He was very responsive, helpful, and quick to fit us in. Most importantly, he had a high standard for his work product and ensured we got exactly what we wanted. I felt his pricing was fair and we got great value. 10/10 would recommend!

I got several quotes for siding. The prices really ranged. It's a big job and I really wanted to make sure it was done right. Dave was really great to work with, he didn't try to up sell me, gave me options for saving money, answered all my questions, and was there every morning to make sure the crew was there & ready to work. I will definitely use them again when it's time to replace my roof. Thanks again.

This company came recommended to me and they were fantastic. They worked with me and my insurance to get me exactly what I needed. And they got my new roof installed as soon as the winter weather cleared out. They were super easy to work with and very professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a new roof!
