Responsive Roofing Services In Northern Illinois

Homeownership is hard. It comes with decisions. BIG ONES. Decisions that are not only costly, but complex. Making the wrong decision on a contractor can not only cost you monetarily, but can have a heavy price if the work is done cheaply or by cutting corners. This being said, roofing contractors have gotten a bad name over the last decade or so due to the prevalence of “storm chasers”, or contractors that travel around, quick to promise new roofing and exteriors fully paid for by insurance and without a cost to the homeowner. There are contractors who lack integrity and honesty, and will pull any string available to get you to sign for subpar workmanship and materials, while you pay the premium. Enter Responsive Roofing. My first encounter with Ron was several years ago, when I had been in my home for a few years. At the time, I was worried about the age of my roof and had called his company to come inspect it. To my surprise, Ron told me that while my roof was older, it still had some time on it and that he would suggest coming back in the next 3-5 years to check again. I’ve gotta admit, I was impressed, if not a little shocked. He didn’t try to use fear tactics, or sell me on something I didn’t need. He spoke honestly, and gave me an understanding of the true situation and timeline I was looking at. As you can guess, this left an impression on me. Fast forward to summer of 2025. Remembering my encounter with Ron several years back, I again called him to inspect my roof and give me his fair opinion. He of course did exactly that. It was time to move forward with our project. We decided to add on improved shingles and venting, new gutters, and some Hardie Board siding to replace wood paneling that was deteriorated on the front of our house. Such a large purchase is nerve wracking, to say the least. But I cannot stress enough how absolutely ACCURATE the name of this business is. “Responsive Roofing” is not just a name. It encompasses every aspect of how Ron runs his business. From promptly answering every possible question I could have, to providing estimates and brainstorming solutions for what we wanted to accomplish, I could not be more impressed. His crews were friendly and polite, and left not a trace that they were here each day. Ron was on the job site, and was so proactive in protecting our landscaping and house exterior so that we never had to worry that something would go wrong. The finished work (see pictures) was impeccable. Every detail was perfect, and the value of our home and increase in curb appeal was everything we could have wanted in this project. Lastly, I learned SO much from Ron. It is evident that it is important to him to make sure his clients understand exactly what they are purchasing, as well as the function of each part. At no part in this process did I stress that I had made the wrong decision because Ron’s responsiveness and attention to detail was so strong that I never needed to. Today, as I admire my home every time I pull into the driveway, I am so thankful that I chose Responsive Roofing. I sincerely hope that anyone in need of roofing, siding, or exterior work will consider them as well. You won’t regret it!

The entire team was great to work with. Very polite and extremely professional. Highly recommend working with Ron and his team.

Ron puts the “response” in Responsive Roofing! We had a squirrel get in our home through the radon pipe. The very next day he was out putting the mesh netting over the top to avoid this problem in the future. He got the job done ASAP before the winter weather arrived. We are very grateful to not have to worry about this problem again. He was fair and reasonable, and the turnaround time was greatly appreciated. I will use this very professional company for any roofing needs in the future.

Ron replaced my roof a few years ago with a beautiful new roof, and a bank of windows this month. Both projects were very well priced and of excellent quality. Both were installed quickly by his professional team - you couldn't tell they were even on my property! The new window (a bank of 3) is much more solid and functional - I swear my room is warmer! The window price was great and installation was simple for me. Ron's team is professional from start to finish - thanks so much!

Absolutely Seamless Service! Responsive Roofing is the Best. We cannot recommend Responsive Roofing highly enough! From the very first service call to the final inspection of our beautiful new roof, the entire process was easy, smooth, and seamless. Last year, after finding them through the local Chamber, Ron and his team quickly came out to repair a persistent roof boot issue. They were transparent, informative, and gave us the honest assessment that our roof had about 1-2 years left. That integrity is why, this fall, when we were ready for a full replacement, we knew exactly who to call. The planning process was excellent. Kayli and Ron provided the detailed quote and the wonderful visual options for tile colors, which included the upgraded Pro Shingles. It was so convenient to have all our needs in one place, including the gutter guards my family wanted. The crew, managed by Ben, was amazing: they showed up on time, took care of the demolition efficiently, and performed a spotless cleanup of our yard. In just two days, we had a beautiful new roof! Changing the color has completely transformed our house—it looks so much better now. The gutter guards were installed quickly in half a day, maintaining that super nice, seamless finish. Thank you, Ron, Kayli, Ben, and the entire Responsive Roofing team for your professionalism and care!
