Roofing in
Evanston.
Roofing and historic-home material work in Evanston and the North Shore.
What we see on Evanston roofs.
Evanston roofs trend older with slate, tile, and original cedar shake more common than in the western suburbs. We install replacement that matches the home's architectural period.
Every Evanston inspection produces a photograph report aligned to the Xactimate scope language an adjuster expects. We file with the carrier, attend the on-site adjuster meeting with you, and contest line items the carrier leaves off. Most Illinois homeowners pay only their deductible.
Four trades, one standard.
- RoofingArchitectural shingles, slate, tile, and synthetic shake from the manufacturers homeowners actually recognize.
- GutterSeamless 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters sized for the actual roof above them, with ShurFlo guards available.
- Vinyl SidingVinyl siding that holds its color and seals against the weather the building actually faces.
- LP SmartSideEngineered wood siding comparable to Hardie® board: weatherproof, hail-rated, and built to hold color.
What homeowners say.
We had a great experience with DJK Restoration! They showed up quickly, explained everything clearly, and took care of our home like it was their own. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their work. It's hard to find companies you can fully trust, but DJK definitely earned ours. Would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone!
Don and his crew did a great job. The job was completed within the time initially mentioned and the new roof looks great. Also, I was really impressed with the cleanup. Don and his crew have done several roofs in my area and the feedback received from others sold me in selecting Don. I would not hesitate recommending Don to others.
Don owns the firm and is very active and great to communicate with about roofing. He showed up and climbed the roof with my claim adjuster, and saw the adjuster personally mark spots of hail damage. I got a generous homeowner insurance payment. Don mentioned beforehand that not everyone succeeds with that. He chose the best materials and his bid was the best among three. The finished roofing was completed on the schedule Don informed me about, and looks great.
