Marlene and Dennis: My wife and I had the pleasure of having our flat roof replaced by Smart Roofing (847-797-0404) and their staff and crew in 2021. My wife and I are not related to anyone at Smart Roofing. This is an objective review. Mike, Smart roof scheduler, suggested the best insulation for the flat roof in order to stop the heat from escaping through the roof and to insulate the room below. Mike took his time to suggest and explain all the materials and the work to be done to install and protect the flat roof. My wife and I thankfully agreed with all of Mike’s suggestions. Smart Roofing and Mike and its staff and crew performed Excellent work installing the flat roof. They installed the proper insulation and heat synced the membrane to protect it. They installed a membrane of very high quality. Their installation was Excellent. This review is being posted in November 2021 during the coldest days. My wife and I honestly state that all the suggestions and the installation by Smart Roofing and Mike and the staff and crew worked Perfectly. The room below is Excellently retaining heat. During the rain storms prior to the cold weather, the water drained off the roof like a water fall – the drainage is excellent. In addition, a few months after Smart Roofing and the staff and crew installed the flat roof Mike came back without cost to inspect and make sure the flat roof was performing Excellently and Perfectly. Do not believe others. We continue to highly recommend Smart Roofing to our neighbors and friends.
We had the BEST experience with SMART Roofing. Our new roof was installed a year ago. Mike W. did an outstanding job from scheduling our roof installation, to helping us pick the color of the shingles, coordinating the roofing crew, making sure our neighbors weren’t inconvenienced during the project, being on site regularly, and answering all our questions. Mike W. made this a GREAT experience. Mike W. is so kind, helpful, trustworthy, knowledgeable and was always available to talk to us or be on site. The roofing crew was extremely experienced, hard working, so friendly, and went out of their way to clean up everything each night. The crew even made sure our neighbors’ driveways and lawns were clean and free from any debris. We highly recommend SMART Roofing, and especially, Mike W. We are so happy with our new roof. Thank you SMART Roofing and Mike!
We used Smart Roofing to replace our roof and repair some other damage to the roof structure. They replaced the asphalt roof and plywood decking on the entire house and garage and did a fantastic job. Pete was knowledgeable about the project, understanding our needs, and quick to respond to any questions we had about the process. He also handled communication to our insurance to make sure proper forms were filled out to ensure our coverage and repair was correct.
The crew that replaced the roof was fast and thorough and helped resolve any surprise issues that popped up during the project. They did a great job at mitigating any debris around the house by setting up a defined path for waste removal and doing several magnetic sweeps around the house at the end of the job.
The contract provided by Smart Roofing was clear and easily understood, scope of work was well defined, and completion documentation and warranty information was promptly sent after final payment. I’ve recommended this company to my neighbors, and they commented about how nice the new roof looks and how professional the crew was when installing it.
We’ve used Smart Roofing on two instances for a roof replacement and a full siding replacement on our house. For both, the planning and estimate process was very detailed and honest, and the work was done conscientiously. They were transparent about unexpected issues, and I definitely got the impression that their top priority was to get the job done right (rather than just quickly). It’s been 5 years since our roof was installed, and 1 year since the siding, and we’re extremely happy with how everything is holding up. I would recommend these guys to friends or family with no hesitation.
We highly recommend Smart Roofing!
We met Pete as he was replacing roofs on two of our neighbors’ houses. They had storm & hail damage. We asked him to inspect ours and sure enough, we also had damage. Pete worked with the insurance adjusters and we wound up with a new roof completely covered by insurance.
From the beginning, Pete was pleasant and professional. He was extremely helpful and patient as he brought shingle samples. Owning a mansard roof made the selection process more difficult, but Pete went the extra mile. He nailed various samples on our roof so we could get a better picture of the end result.
Pete’s crew of 5-6 men were efficient and hardworking. They came promptly every morning and worked continuously. They replaced rotten wood, recapped metal on the windows, and laid the shingles skillfully and meticulously. They carefully cleaned our property of construction debris before leaving.
Pete was always available to us to answer questions and make sure that the project was going smoothly. He and his men cared about quality workmanship and our satisfaction. We are very satisfied and appreciative for a job well done!
By the way, did we mention that Pete is a nice guy? It was a true pleasure to work with him!!
Diane & Bob M., Wilmette, IL
Our experience with Smart Roofing was exceptional from start to finish. We had gotten 4 proposals for the complete tear-off that needed to be done on our roof. Pete represented his company with knowledge, honesty and no ridiculous sales pitch – a huge plus for me. Pete was easy to work with and their price was reasonable. We were also in an insurance ‘time crunch’ for completion, and Pete made sure that the work would be completed in a timely manner. The men who did the work were great. They arrived on time, worked non-stop and cleaned up at the end of each day. I am so happy that we chose Smart Roofing. I would recommend them without hesitation!

Pete and his Smart Roofing team are truly amazing!! From the time the insurance adjuster did their assessment, all the way through to the completion of the roof and siding project…the Smart Roofing team were true professionals!
Not only were Pete and his team reliable, diligent and thorough workers, but they were a significant resource in helping us pick-out different designs and colors. And they even referred us to a great garage company who installed a new door for us.
We haven’t hesitated in recommending Smart Roofing to many of our neighbors and friends. We’re confident they will have the same positive experience as us!
Great company to work with. My fiancée and I used Smart Roofing during our home inspection a couple months ago. The house we purchased has a concrete tile roof and we wanted to be confident there were no pre-existing concerns.
Mike from Smart Roofing stopped by in under a day’s notice and completed the inspection. Along the way, he provided valuable insight on the roof and what we should expect as new homeowners with a tile roof.
Just this past week I contacted Mike to follow up on his recommendations during the inspection. Once again, Mike came by and did a assessment of the roof. And again, he provided great insight and professional service. I got an update about the inspection the next day.
I know I will continue to work with Smart Roofing and Mike specifically. Very highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience with Smart Roofing. Beforehand and during the work, they were able to answer any questions that we had. Both the roof and gutters look great. The guys who did the work also cleaned up everything. All my patio furniture and pots were neatly put back in place and the rubbish was all disposed of in the dumpster they brought. I most definitely would recommend Smart Roofing.
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Stan and his team for the work they have done on my roof. I live in Chicago in a bungalow. The company responded right away to solve my problem and they did an excellent job quickly and efficiently. They use the newest technology and they are professional, efficient and knowledgeable. I would happily recommend them as a trustworthy and sensibly priced roofing company.
Smart Roofing is the BEST. Their honesty saved me thousands of dollars in un-necessary skylight replacements and the custom exterior trim work they did is amazing. An absolute pleasure to work with.
Pete was super easy to work with! All paperwork was delivered on time and as per discussion, he was incredibly responsive to questions, and the work was completed on time for the agreed upon amount. Checked all the right boxes for me
Smart Roofing has deep domain expertise in the repair of a Ludowici Tile Roof. These guys really know their stuff. Very skilled. The GO TO company in metro Chicago for Ludowici Roof Tile.
Smart Roofing, Thank you for walking us through the roof replacement and the insurance process. Great customer services and I would 100% recommend them to friends and neighbors. GReat job and Thank you!
All levels of communication were outstanding as well as working with MIKE STRUGALA and his crew!!!!!They were punctual,efficient,neat, quality driven and above all informative!!!!!YES—-I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!!!
First and foremost, Stan is a very honest person; his tradesmen are well trained and execute quality work; work is performed on schedule; and pricing is fair. They installed new slate tile roof, copper gutters, and standing seam copper roofing for my home.
Overall, great value and no-hassle experience.
I strongly recommend Smart Roofing.
Effective air Glenview, We have worked with Smart roofing for over 20 years, They installed a new roof at my home, I refer them at least once a month to my customers, Because they have excellent service, Excellent warrantee, They are worth the price.
Smart Roofing just finished installing a new roof and gutters on our home in the edgebrook area of Chicago. Pete and his crew were amazing to work with. I started talking with Pete a year before we did the roof and he was always responsive and attentive to our needs and concerns. It was not a straightforward job as we had some issues we needed to address. Pete was nothing but patient while answering all the questions and concerns we had. His crew works hard and took great care of our property while they were here. They even made sure that the areas surrounding our home were free of nails and debris. .Would definitely Recommend Smart Roofing to anyone in need of a new roof and gutters!
Our house was re-roofed by Smart Roofing, Inc. Our property is very difficult to work with due to extensive landscaping and mature trees close to the house, requiring material movement and disposal using wheel barrels and a lot of manual labor.
We were happy to work with Pete on the quotation during which he was very careful to match the quality level of the entire roofing system to the one we had installed originally. Pete also worked to coordinate everything with the insurance company, permits from the village, etc.
Pete’s crew were all experienced roofers and worked long hours to complete this complicated roof (steep pitch and many ridges due to roof changes) in a timely manner, taking care not to leave us exposed to rain by only stripping and completing sections at a time that they could complete.
The crew cleaned up daily and when the job was complete and not a scrap or nail was left behind. I would highly recommend Smart Roofing, Inc.
I wanted to say thank you to you both and to all of your hard-working guys who so skillfully replaced our roof and did the copper work. Wow! Talented and thoughtful guys – so nice to see the cleanup at the end of each day of work and to have such great communication about hours and where we needed to park and at what times, rain days, etc. Truly a great experience as far as we are concerned and we are getting compliments from people who come over and also from friends and family who have texted or called as they have driven by. We are very grateful for everything. I’m sorry for the rain not with us on many days but that’s nature for you. Have already given our recommendation to some friends, and we will not hesitate to endorse you guys in the future, of course. If more people and companies operated the way Smart does the world would run quite smoothly!
“Thank you for patiently answering all of our questions, making excellent suggestions, and for taking care to make sure we were happy with all of our decisions. We really appreciate that you were available each day and that you personally supervised critical elements of the job. It was a true pleasure working with you. Everything turned out beautifully. From beginning to end, our experience was beyond our expectations.”

“Smart Roofing took great care in understanding my needs and finding the best solution for my uninsulated flat roof. The job was done in one day, at a fair price, and it looks great. I wish I had done it sooner, as my heating bills have been cut in half. It will probably pay itself off in a few years. Thanks to Mike and his great team! Highly recommended.”

“I have hired Smart Roofing, Inc. three times, which, in itself, speaks of how pleased I am with their company’s work and service.
Most recently, I downsized from a bi-level home in Morton Grove to a tiny raised ranch in Chicago. Smart Roofing, Inc. replaced the roofs, soffits, fascia, gutters and siding on both house and garage, and transformed a dated, ugly-duckling house into a color-coordinated, tidy, well-appointed little bungalow.
The workers were experienced, efficient and careful. Mike Strugala, my customer service representative, was prompt, knowledgeable, and responsive to my questions and concerns.
Thank you, Smart Roofing and Mike Strugala. Know that I will happily recommend your company to others as the occasion arises.”

“I’m writing to let you know how pleased my husband and I were with Smart Roofing’s recent replacement of our cedar shake roof. Your workers were unfailingly hard working, professional, polite and helpful. They were especially careful not to damage our extensive outdoor plantings and were always willing to accommodate our requests.
We were also gratified that you sent someone out immediately on a weekend to look at our porch roof, which had been replaced by another firm, and which we suspected was causing a leak in our powder room. Again, the representative from Smart Roofing, Inc. who came was polite, helpful and cleared the snow off the roof, which temporarily stopped the leak. When the weather permitted, your workers quickly fixed the problem without any additional charge to us, for which we were most grateful.
There is no question that we will call you for all our future roofing needs, and please feel free to use us as references should the occasion arise.”

Excerpt for a recent Lake Zurich roofing client:
“We want you to know of the great experience we had working with Smart Roofing. The staff and crew were a great help to us in planning and completing the roofing work at our house. Our Project Manager’s knowledge of the insurance claim process, steps required and materials needed to complete our project was excellent. They did an outstanding job! They worked quickly and neatly to get the work completed, and were always professional and courteous. This is the second time we have used Smart Roofing with first rate results. We will contine to recommend your company to our friends and neighbors.”
“We have had really wonderful contractors, but Smart Roofing, Inc. are the best I’ve ever worked with. Stan and his crew earned every one of my five stars.
…So when our shake roof had to be totally replaced, he was one of the contractors we called for a bid.
1) The estimate was more detailed and concise than any I’ve ever gotten. Over the course of the negotiations, Stan patiently explained the process, helped us decide on the most appropriate materials, then kept in touch while we wrapped our minds around what was a very large project. Of course, he never charged us.
2) Roofing is messy. Stan tried to prepared us for the disruption, but told us we wouldn’t have to lift a finger – his crew would do it all. The first day on the job, Stan’s crews carefully removed or covered the furniture and plants on our four patios. During the day, the property looked like a war zone. Every night, before they left, the guys removed the debris – including nails – raked the lawn, and yes – hosed the patios, walkways and driveway. Like they were never really there – only better. Even my lawn service was impressed.
3) My neighbors were so impressed, one of them contacted Stan for their repair.
4) When he realize there was debris in my attic, Stan even sent a crew to clean my attic.
5) Throughout the entire two weeks, Stan’s crew showed up at 7:30, left at way past 5:00, and were quiet and respectful the entire time. Every morning, Mario, the foreman, would explain that day’s tasks and ask again if I had any concerns.
We were out of town when the job was finished, so when we got back, I noticed a few of the gutters and downspouts had been repaired and a few replaced. I asked Stan about it. No charge – just needed touching up.
Good work like this should be recognized.”

—Received today – We love hearing from our roofing customers!
Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful roof job. Your price was competitive and the service excellent. You showed up when you said and efficiently go the job done. You were always easy to reach and answered all my questions. I wasn’t looking forward to doing my roof, but you made the process painless.
I will recommend Smart Roofing whenever I have the opportunity.
Thanks again,

“Our roof had seen better days and had developed several leaks. After talking to several roofers in the area, a friend suggested that we contact Smart Roofing. We were extremely impressed with the Smart Roofing representative, Pete Konopka. Pete was the only one that addressed the need for additional venting to correct a moisture problem in the attic space.
All the work was done in a very professional manner with great care given to protecting windows and plantings. We were also very pleased with the clean up. A couple of weeks after the the new roof was in place, a hail storm come through Glenview. Pete called and insisted on coming over to inspect our roof to make sure that there was no damage. All was well.
I would highly recommend Smart Roofing to anyone in need of roof repair or replacement.”

SMART Roofing is an excellent company which approaches their work with a very high regard towards use of skill, workmanship, and paying attention to all details! Through the great quality of their work they were able to show us how professional and hardworking a roofing company really can be. They provided us with an outstanding level of service, and thoroughly answered all questions we had and provided us with very valuable insight. The workers were all very hard working and the high quality of their work on our roof, siding, gutters and back porch is very visible through the final outcome of the house appearance. They even managed to go above and beyond the work that was stated in our original contract! I would strongly recommend SMART Roofing to anyone who needs any sort of work done on their house!
SMART Roofing really helped us out, and I am very proud to say that they were able to carry out great work in areas which other companies were not able to. I would also especially like to thank Stan Miodowski for his superior work and dedication! Thanks to all his help, and the work of his contractors, the work was carried out in an excellent fashion. I would like to thank them for all their hard work once again, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs any type of construction work done on their house!
Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Fraczek, Chicago
“Outstanding Work and Customer Service…” in Highland Park – New Roof & Gutters Installation
Dear Stan,
I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate the outstanding work and customer service that you and your staff provided last month. A complete tear down of the old roof at our house was done with such care for the surroundings by your staff that my wife, who is extremely picky with her garden and with cleanliness, did not even notice that a FULL ROOF had been taken down during the day!
From the start, through the sale and contract process, you showed extreme professionalism, and I appreciated that very much. However, that was just the beginning of a very good experience. The staff that was at the house working on the roof was extremely professional, hard working, knowledgeable, and polite.
Because of your, and their efforts, my home has a beautiful new and improved roof and gutters that I know will last for many years. Please let the other team members know that their efforts did not go unnoticed. You have a great team that makes customers feel respected and valued.
I will not hesitate to refer anyone that asks about a roofing contractor to you and to Smart Roofing”

What Our Customers Are Saying About Their New Roof in Park Ridge!
“You were most helpful as we wove our way through cleaning up after our raccoons [both with the roof and the insulation] and dealing with the insurance company. You were instrumental in making the process manageable for me.
Also, your workmen and subcontractors handled themselves very professionally and with great courtesy and skill as they repaired the raccoon damage, replaced and added insulation and installed the new roof. When we discovered a “new twist” they were very flexible in reacting and handling the new challenge successfully.
I especially appreciated your scheduling accuracy. You began and completed the project within the time frame you originally gave us. When we discovered an additional problem, you returned promptly to complete that task as well. Thank you.”
