Anyone calling their company purple cow should’ve been the first warning but he was referred…. Outrageously expensive he up the price and didn’t say a word did work without our authorization and now he’s threatening me.. I also own a business and I would never treat my customers the way he’s treated me and my family. He was upset. My husband didn’t call him back childish behavior very unprofessional. Beware you’ve been warned!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Purple Cow Roofing in South Elgin. Between missing shingles during a recent storm, fixing an issue with a soffit, and replacing a skylight, Purple Cow Roofing was quick to help and did a great job …

Purple Cow Roofing is amazing!!! We bought our first home two years ago knowing our roof was nearly 20 years old and were dreading the expense of replacing it. These guys worked SO diligently to get our roofing claim approved by our home insurance provider through well over a year of absolutely maddening denials and delays. If you are in need of a new roof or siding, look no further than Purple Cow Roofing. Special shout out to Todd and Randy, I know our insurance did not make your job easy and I could not be more grateful for all of your hard work coordinating these repairs for our home, and continuing to fight for us when we were ready to give up. We now have a new, secure roof and beautiful new vinyl siding, and our home feels so much more like "ours." Thank you so, so much!

Sarah, thank you so much for the incredible review. It was an honor to help you through what turned into a long and frustrating process. Insurance claims can test anyone's patience, but we're glad you stuck with us and allowed us to keep fighting on your behalf. Hearing that your home finally feels like yours is exactly why we do what we do. Our team will make sure Todd and Randy see your kind words. Thank you again for trusting Purple Cow Roofing, and congratulations on your beautiful new roof and siding!

Purple cow roofing company did a great job through its subcontractors for roof replacement and gutters. They ensured quality inspection. There was delay in starting the work as they were working through backlog bookings and winter cold weather. Very professional company and reliable.

My experience with the owner of Purple Cow roofing was amazing. I contacted him with my issues. He returned a call rapidly and when eye, sent him photos of a job that needed to be done. He immediately put his men into work for me.I could have not asked for a better response the workers was very courteous and nice and did an awesome job. Thanks Todd. You will definitely have my support in your business. Job, well done.

I would like to recommend the work and services of Purple Cow Roofing. Nat Zunkel came and inspected our roof and found significant damage due to a hail storm. Then Randy Boss took care of everything after that. All we had to do was select shingles. Their team did excellent work. They were considerate of our property and when completed the only indication a crew had been at our place was the beautiful new roof. It was so easy and completely stress free for us. Highly recommend!

Really appreciate the review! Glad to hear Nat, Randy, and the crew took good care of you and made everything easy. Thanks for choosing Purple Cow Roofing!

We were hit with high winds and large hail back in June 2025. Dan Gallagher, (adjuster that came out) did a great job determining the damage to the roof, siding and gutters. I also worked with Randy, Todd and Melly in the office and all were great to work with. The roof, siding and gutters were completely replaced and look great. Because of the extent of the city and area wide damage, I was happy with the time frame it took to get those things completed. I do highly recommend them to get the job done!

Mark, thank you for taking the time to share this! We’re glad Dan and the whole team were able to help after that June storm. City-wide events are never easy, so we appreciate your patience and trust throughout the process. The home looks fantastic and we’re grateful for the recommendation!
