Our Comprehensive Roofing Services

Roof Replacement
Most roofs don't fail all at once. They fail quietly — one freeze-thaw cycle, one hailstorm, one summer of UV damage at a time — until the damage is inside your walls. If your roof is 20+ years old or showing widespread wear, a replacement isn't an expense.
It's the smartest investment your home can make.
Signs it's time for a full replacement:- - 20+ years old — even if it looks fine from the street
- - Patching the same spot more than once
- - Granules filling your gutters after rain
- - Selling soon — buyers and inspectors notice everything

Roof Repair
Not every roof needs replacing. But every leak needs fixing now — not next season. Water finds the path of least resistance, and a failed flashing today becomes a rotted deck by spring. Our repair crews are fast, honest, and straight with you about what actually needs work versus what can wait.
Common Roof Repairs:- - Leak diagnosis & water damage assessment
- - Shingle replacement & resealing
- - Flashing repair — chimneys, vents, skylights
- - Storm & hail damage restoration
Multi-Family RoofingProperty managers don't have room for delays, complaints, or a crew that disappears mid-project. GME has roofed apartment complexes, condominiums, and HOA communities across Chicagoland — on schedule, in scope, with site management that doesn't generate calls from residents. We handle phased replacements, pull all permits, and keep your tenants informed throughout.
Commercial RoofingA failed commercial roof doesn't just cost repairs — it costs operations. GME installs TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal systems for commercial properties across Chicagoland and the greater Midwest. We work around your business hours, minimize disruption, and provide full documentation for owners and property managers.
What Does a New Roof Cost in Chicagoland?
Most residential replacements across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan run $8,000–$25,000+ depending on size, material, and complexity. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable starting point. Metal, slate, and Brava cost more upfront — and significantly less over 40 years when you factor in maintenance, longevity, and energy savings.
Every GME quote is line-item transparent. No hidden fees. No surprises.
