What Our Customers Are Saying

Aditya B.
Shake Guys were fantastic to work with. I just had roof treatment done for my cedar shake roof. The inspection, quote, scheduling, and the actual work on the day were all managed really well. And they were proactive in enquiring about satisfaction and feedback on the work. I would recommend and go back to them again.

Michelle M.
I could not be happier with either the Shake Guys or the work that they did for me. Their patience with the process, the HOA, and weather have been beyond expectations. They did a beautiful job, left my property in pristine shape, and worked with numerous other trades to coordinate completion in less time than anticipated. I could not be happier. Each contact has been terrific.

Ed D.
From the initial estimate to the final inspection they kept us informed of the entire process and what to expect at every stage of the project. The final result was amazingly aesthetic and adds not just curb appeal but real value to our home, it reduced our homeowners insurance by approximately 10% and surely makes us the envy of our neighbors, well done!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Davinci Shake?
It is a type of composite cedar shake, offered by DaVinci Roofscapes who is a leading manufacturer of composite/synthetic roofing tiles. DaVinci uses high-density polyethylene membranes offering a higher resistance to oxidation and improved durability. The use of consistent virgin reins helps improve how the product will perform. The result is an equally beautiful roof that’s impressively durable and doesn’t require the hands-on maintenance and upkeep that real cedar shakes may require. Learn more here.
What is your service area?
We serve the greater Chicagoland suburbs and Wisconsin.
Do you provide insurance claim assistance?
Yes, if your cedar roof was potentially damaged by wind or hail, we can evaluate your roof’s condition to determine whether or not you should consider filing an insurance claim. If an insurance claim is filed, we can help you navigate this difficult process. If your roof claim is approved for replacement, we’ll replace your roof with true cedar or composite tiles from DaVinci, Brava or EcoStar, using the highest quality standards.
Where do you source your cedar shakes from?
We use the highest quality Premium cedar and #1 Grade shakes available in the market – Sourced from some of the best mills in the U.S. and British Columbia, Canada. Learn more here.
