Title: Terrible After-Sales Service and Unfulfilled Warranty Promises I am extremely disappointed with Low Cost Roofing and their lack of accountability when honoring their work warranty. After noticing serious issues with the roof installation, I reached out to have them inspect and repair the defective work. What followed was a weeks-long pattern of delays, missed appointments, and excuses. Constant Delays & No-Shows: I had to take multiple days off work to meet with them, only for appointments to be repeatedly postponed, rescheduled at the last minute, or missed entirely. Lack of Communication: Promises were made to provide a repair schedule and come fix the issues, but days went by with zero response or updates. Failure to Resolve Issues: Despite multiple texts, calls, and follow-ups giving them ample opportunity to make things right, the defective roof remains unfixed. Getting a contractor to respond and honor their warranty work should not require constant chasing and stress. Save yourself the headache and hire a company that stands behind their work and respects their customers' time. PS: The company still didn't contact me back or fix my roof and NOT pick up my call.

Sorry Ally, but we did speak twice. First time I told you I couldn't find you in our system and you told me that we did the work for the homeowners before you. The second time we talked about the hail damage that happened during a storm. I let you know that our warranty did not cover hail damage, as no company covers hail damage. That something you're insurance company would have to look at. If it was a labor problem we would of taken care of it even know our labor warranty was over. Sorry

The work was fine. However, a couple weeks later I sustained more damage and called them to arrange repairs under an insurance claim. I called twice, they haven't bothered to call back. I assume if I'd had a problem with their work this …

Did my house Channahon around 2015. Did great work and didn't charge too much from what I heard vs my neighbors contractors. So all in all super pleased and even started them on my newest house.

Rob, Kevin and their crew did a great job on our roof replacement. They were very respectful of our property and made sure there was no debris left behind. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality roof work at a reasonable cost.

What Low Cost Roofing says about itself
Taken from the business’s own website. We have not checked any of it. These are quotes, not credentials — a roofer writing “licensed and insured” on their homepage is not evidence that they are.
Their site also states: 24/7 emergency call-out.
