Who We Are

Why River Forest Trusts Roof Repair Smedway With Their Roof

Nobody on our crew learned Roofing work from a training video. They learned it climbing real roofs in River Forest, IL, in real weather, on jobs where a wrong call meant a callback.

Ask to see our River Forest, IL license and insurance certificate and you'll have it in your hand before the estimate even starts.

We've replaced enough botched patch jobs from other companies to know exactly what corner-cutting looks like a year later — drywall stains, soft decking, mold nobody can see yet.

Early Warning Signs

Signs A River Forest Roof Needs Roofing Attention Now

Most emergency calls we get trace back to a smaller sign that went unnoticed for weeks or months.

None of the six signs below require an emergency call on their own, but each one is worth a scheduled inspection before it turns into something bigger.

Sandy Runoff After Rain

Heavy granule loss usually means the shingles are nearing the end of their service life.

Shingles Lifting Off The Deck

Shingles that curl at the edges have lost flexibility and are more likely to crack in the next windstorm.

Attic Daylight

A gap that lets light through will let rain through eventually.

Brown Water Stains Overhead

Sagging or soft drywall usually points to sustained moisture, not a single isolated drip.

Attic Running Warmer Than Usual

A slow leak or failing ventilation can quietly drive up cooling costs before you notice the leak itself.

Missing Shingles On The Roofline

Exposed underlayment is only a temporary barrier — it's not built to handle sustained exposure.

Core Services

Every Roofing Job We Handle In River Forest

We split our work into specific service lanes because a wind-lifted shingle and a full system replacement need completely different crews and timelines.

Read through the categories and you'll usually recognize your own roof problem in one of them — that's intentional, since we scope calls the same way we've organized this list.

Emergency

Active Leak Response

When wind or hail rips open a section of roofing, we tarp it fast to stop water intrusion, then schedule the permanent fix right behind it.

Residential

Home Roof Repair & Reroofing

From a few cracked shingles to a complete tear-off, residential jobs get scoped against manufacturer spec, not a rough guess.

Commercial

Low-Slope Membrane Systems

Flat roofs get scheduled inspections in addition to repair calls, catching ponding-water problems early.

Replacement

New Roof Installation

We'll tell you honestly whether your roof needs a full replacement or just a targeted repair — we don't default to the bigger invoice.

Inspection

Roof Inspections & Maintenance

Post-storm inspections give homeowners documented evidence, useful whether or not a claim gets filed.

Specialized

Chimney, Skylight & Flashing Repair

Chimney crickets, skylight seals, and valley flashing are common leak points that general repair crews often miss.

Our Promise

What Roof Repair Smedway Guarantees On Every River Forest Job

We also guarantee the number on your estimate — barring a scope change you approve first, that's the number on your invoice.
