Roofing Basics

Hollingsworth Home Improvement – your Safest Choice for a roofing contractor

• We’re experts! We’ve been installing roofs for over 25 years! We are experts on many types of shingles (including asphalt & metal), many types of roofs, and many types of installation. We are one of only 3% of roofing installers to be certified Master Elite Contractors for GAF/Elk, the highest honor from North America’s largest roofing materials manufacturer.
• We’re licensed, bonded & insured! Feel free to look up our Illinois State Roofing License, #104.015426/105.001148. We’re fully bonded & insured, which protects you from any injuries that may occur on your property. We will happily provide you with a Certificate of Insurance from our insurer upon request. Our estimator also carries copies of all our documentation and will be happy to review them with you during your appointment.
• We’re extremely highly rated & reviewed! The Chicago and Northern Illinois Better Business Bureau has awarded us an A+ rating – its highest praise. We have an A ranking on Angieslist.com and have our own collection of testimonials available here on our website.
• We offer the best warranties! Not only do we exclusively use materials that provide superior durability & warranty protection, we couple that with our own 5-year workmanship warranty. That means if you have any roofing issues within 5 years of your installation, we’ll come and fix them free of charge. And given that we’ve been in business for over 25 years, you’re assured peace of mind.

Benefits of Roof Replacement

• Protects your most valuable asset from the elements. Chicago area weather is notoriously hard on roofs. We endure pouring rain, high winds, hail, snow, heat, ice, humidity and sun – your roof is your first line of defense when protecting your home (and family)!
• Increases the value of your home. Remodeling magazine estimates that in the Chicago area, installing a new asphalt roof increases the average value of a home by over $11,000.
• Dramatically improves the aesthetics of your property.  If you live in a previously owned home, chances are the roof on your house was chosen by someone else. Now is your chance to install the roofing style, color & design that YOU desire. And even if you did replace your roof years ago, maybe it’s time for a change. Perhaps you are trying to go green with a sustainable roofing option or upgrade your roof to a designer, lifetime shingle. Or maybe you are change resistant. That’s okay too – we can even match your current style!
