Chicago Roof Repair and Replacement, Done Right the First Time

A roof that gets fixed properly the first time, not revisited every storm season.

Chicago throws a lot at a roof: lake-effect wind, hard freezes, and hailstorms that show up with little warning. Apex General Contracting has spent nearly two decades repairing and replacing roofs across the Midwest, and Chicago homeowners get the same level of care and the same straight talk as everyone we’ve worked with.

Who You're Actually Hiring

Jim Stringham started Apex General Contracting in 2006 with his father, and the company has never lost that hands-on approach even as it grew. Apex also puts effort into the communities it works in, supporting VetsRoll and Wimpy’s Christmas Fund, and has earned OC Platinum Recycling Awards for how it handles roofing waste.

When a Chicago homeowner calls, they’re reaching a company with a track record you can actually verify, not just a name on a truck.

Roof Repair, Replacement, and Routine Maintenance in Chicago, IL

A roof problem in Chicago rarely waits for a convenient time. A slow leak can sit behind drywall for weeks before it shows itself, and hail damage isn’t always visible unless someone gets up there and looks.

Leak tracing and repair
Hail and wind damage assessment
Shingle repair and replacement
Flashing and chimney seal work
Emergency tarping after a storm hits

When a roof is beyond repair, Apex handles the entire replacement, from tear-off to the final check, with materials selected for how they’ll hold up through a real Chicago winter.

An annual check catches small issues while they’re still small. It’s one of the least expensive things a homeowner can do, and it usually pays for itself the first time it catches something early.

A commercial building can’t afford a slow response to a roof problem. It becomes tenant frustration, downtime, and liability exposure fast. Apex works with property managers and business owners across Chicago on office buildings, retail spaces, multifamily properties, and industrial sites, aiming to keep operations running while the roof gets fixed. Apex tracks down the real source of the issue before any patching or repair occurs and tracks scheduled inspections that flag wear before it becomes an emergency.

Full replacement across TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, and modified bitumen
