Why Choose Peterson Roofing

Your Trusted Local Roofer Since 1978

Locally Trusted and Certified Roofing Company Near Me

Peterson Roofing, Inc. was established in 1978 by James W. Peterson at the early age of 19. Since our humble beginnings in a garage in Mt. Prospect, Peterson Roofing has grown to be one of the most reputable and well respected roofing companies in the Chicagoland area. How did we receive this respect? We earned it. Since 1978, we have been installing all types of quality roofing products. We have become an industry leader in using the most cost effective and best roofing technologies available today. Like our tagline says, “Our Business is Putting a Good Roof Over Your Head.”

Very much a family business, Mr. Peterson works alongside his three sons (Jim Jr., Joe and John) ensuring that Peterson Roofing will continue to lead the industry for years into the future. Peterson Roofing has grown to become a full-service exterior company. Although we got our start as simply a roofing company, we have since developed a team of employees and dedicated crews that can assist you with almost any exterior remodeling project.

We highly recommend Peterson Roofing. They always arrived when they said they would. They answered with patience all of our questions and concerns. They made professional suggestions to improve the outcome. Every staff member from then office to people on the roof were professional and easy to communicate with. And we were lucky to get it done before the winter weather hit.

We recently had to replace a 7 year old roof (which was shoddily done) and chose Peterson as we know several folks who had hired them. Not only was everyone satisfied, but two had difficulties (one minor, one major) which were expeditiously corrected. We wanted a company that stood behind its work and didn't walk away when the project was finished. We are very satisfied with the crew sent to do our roof. Everyone knew their job and performed it expeditiously. We are VERY pleased with the result.

Peterson Roofing was excellent! They came out and measured everything. They provided a comprehensive estimate. They gave me a start date and began work. Their team worked efficiently and cleaned up everyday before they left. Their work is beyond reproach. The job they did looks better than expected. Their final bill was exactly what we discussed. No surprises throughout. I would strongly recommend for your roofing, gutters, facia, soffit and leaf guards.
