Why Does Apex General Contracting Serve Crystal Lake, IL?

Apex General Contracting was founded in 2006 by Jim Stringham, who built the company alongside his father. Jim was born and raised in northern Illinois, and he still lives here today. That matters, because he has watched this area’s weather test roofs for decades, not just read about it.

The company grew fast enough to be recognized by the Inc. 500 and Top 100 Roofing Contractors as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. Growth kept going from there, but the standard did not slip. Apex is a GAF Master Elite Contractor, an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, and Mule-Hide Certified, and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Those are not easy credentials to earn, and most roofing companies do not have them.

When your roof needs attention, you are not calling a call center. You are calling a team that has worked on homes like yours for years and knows how Northern Illinois weather treats a roof over time.

Roof Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance for Crystal Lake Homes and Businesses

Roof Repair

Small roofing problems do not stay small. A missing shingle or a damaged flashing seal left alone through one more Illinois winter often turns into a full interior repair. If you have noticed a water stain on your ceiling, curling shingles, or signs of wind or hail impact, it is worth having someone look before the next storm finds the weak spot.

Leak detection and water intrusion fixes
Hail, wind, and ice damage repair
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Flashing, pipe boot, and chimney repairs

Roof Replacement

Some roofs are past the point where repair makes sense. When yours is, Apex handles the full roof replacement, from tear-off to final inspection, using materials chosen to hold up against Midwest weather rather than just look good on install day.

Architectural asphalt shingles built for wind and hail resistance
Ventilation upgrades to extend the life of the new roof
Ice and water shield installation for Illinois weather

Roof Maintenance

A roof that gets checked once a year rarely surprises you. Seasonal maintenance catches small wear before it becomes a leak, which matters most heading into a Crystal Lake winter.

Annual roof tune‑ups & inspections
Sealant and flashing checks
Gutter and valley cleaning
Minor repairs before they grow

Storm Damage: We Handle the Roof and the Claim

Most roofing jobs in Crystal Lake start the same way: a storm rolls through, and homeowners are left wondering how bad the damage actually is. Wind and hail do not always show themselves from the ground, so the first step is always a real inspection, not a guess.

Here is how we handle it:

Free Inspection and Documentation: We check the roof and photograph what we find, visible or not.
Claim Guidance: If the damage supports a claim, we walk you through what to expect and what to ask for.
Scope Review: We go over what the roof actually needs, and what it does not, before any work starts.
Project Fulfillment: Our crew does the work with site protection and a clear timeline, so you are not guessing at progress.
Final Review: We check the finished roof with you before we call the job done.
