AB Edwards has done our roof repairs 2x for 2 separate situations. We moved into a new home and the first was one we knew we would need for an addition. The addition needed the entire roof replaced, and they came highly recommended to me by a coworker. I went with them and we are so glad we did. They came out to quote, and Chris the Project Manager was really thorough and explained everything that needed to be done. He mentioned if anything was uncovered what would also have to happen. We felt really confident in choosing them for the job. Yes the quote was higher than the roofer we had in during the inspection of the property, however, that roofer is listed in these reviews as a company that AB had to help a customer fix their work, so we were fine with the pricing. During the roof replacement we found we needed additional work done, but this was all discussed upfront as a possibility, so was not a surprise. The work was done quickly, and so well. Fast forward to March, and there was a leak that was in our master bathroom. The contractor on the house has been shady and not wanting to help with this as he "never touched the roof". We decided to finally just go back to AB as we knew they would help quickly and do the best job possible. They also knew about this issue back in December when they were doing the other project, and were there to help if needed they said. How great is that, knowing they would do the work for us and feeling good about it because they really cared. So, I called up Chris the PM, and he got here in about a week. Took a day to do the majority of the work, and even an additional cosmetic fix because of that crazy windstorm we had. They have about one more day left of work, not even, and that was because it rained the other day. We are fully confident that this has fixed the leak, and we can now get to work on the interior fixes in the bathroom. I cannot recommend them more. Go with them, even if they might have a higher quote then another roofer. You will not regret it! read more

I hired AB Edward to redo a metal roof on my Kenosha house over 10 years ago. The other roofing contractor I hired was unscrupulous and I had to sue them in court. AB Edward redid the entire roof and garage for a 4000 sq ft house. There have been no problems since and I don't foresee any problems for a long time. I also recommended them to others. If you want exterior construction done right, pay what a reputable contractor is worth the first time so you don't have issues with repairs in the future. read more

A B Edward Enterprises - Roofing Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Need a roof replacement. Called A B Edward and scheduled an estimate for 7/10. They later called and said the date didn't work for them anymore, so rescheduled to 7/18 but nobody showed up, so called and was told there was no record of that new appointment. Asked if they could do a weekend appointment, no. Asked if they could just come and look at the roof without us having to be home, no. According to their policy, they can't provide a quote without meeting you and they don't have extended hours (their business hours are 9-5 which are the same as mine). What can a face to face meeting accomplish that a phone call and/or email can't in this situation? With so many companies doing similar work in the area, I don't understand the lack of flexibility here. Update: they called today and said someone did come by yesterday to take measurements, but at a different time than the scheduled time, and they will provide a proposal in a few days. While the communication could have been better, I appreciate their efforts to work with me. read more

If you need a leak repaired in a flat roof, these are the guys to call. They promptly fixed my roof the right way the first time. Highly recommend. read more

These people will not provide an estimate for a roof unless someone is home. Two other providers were able to provide me with estimates without being home. I even asked for an early morning meeting or after work and these were not possible. read more

Replaced cedar shingle roof on whole house fair pricing. Showed up on time. Returned as requested when had follow up work. Highly recommend. read more

Working with the AB Edward team was a great experience. They were knowledgeable, consistently on time, and great communicators. More over, I have a fairly crazy work schedule and they were more than accommodating with me. 100% if we need more roof work or my friends need any we will be recommending AB Edward. read more

We used A.B. Edward to replace our roof last week. We chose them over the 5 roofers we got quotes from. They weren't the cheapest one- they offered the best service and seemed the most knowledgeable and trustworthy. They were so helpful during the planning process- they referred us to a roof they had completed nearby with the same color we chose so we could check it out on a larger scale, the contract and deposit process was easy, and they gave us great tips beforehand like removing the wall hangings on the 2nd floor, "just in case." Their workers were timely, friendly, and cleaned up after themselves. They were great to deal with! Overall, a great experience! We highly recommend A.B. Edward! read more

A B Edward Enterprises - New roof - thanks A.B. Edward! - Roofing Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

We live in Lincoln Park and hired AB Edward Enterprises to fix our roof (which had leaked on and off for years) in mid 2017. Chris (our guy there) did a superb job fixing the leak and doing so at a fair price. There are a few big things that separate Chris from other roofers: 1. He is reliable. He shows up when he says he will and performs the work he says he will at the price he quoted 2. His work is excellent 3. He quotes you a price that truly fixes your roof, and is not just a band-aid that's going to fall apart after the first big snow or rain. 4. He is incredibly responsive I highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a roofer. read more

I am very pleased to give a 5 rating to AB Edward Enterprises, Inc. We started with Andy who came by to look at our house and give us an estimate. We had many different companies with many different quotes. We went with this company for a variety of reasons. From start to finish, they all were very professional. Materials and a port-a-potty (most impressed with the potty drop off! ) were dropped off the day before. We had a new roof, gutters, downspouts AND a new exhaust fan in the bathroom replaced. The job took roughly 2 1/2 days. We love the look of our new roof. So far it has withstood many rainstorms in the short time it has been up. The exhaust fan is extremely quiet, and at times, we even wonder if it is on! My husband and I highly recommend this company. We put our stamp of approval on them. Thanks AB Edward. read more

Chris Schwartz and AB Edward were wonderful to work with, from start to finish. We were drawn to Chris by his honesty. He's one of those guys who oozes integrity. After we hired him, he was stellar. As the cherry on the sundae, he just finished PERSONALLY painting two pieces of wood they replaced on the roof - it's 20 degrees outside. It's Saturday. He lives 30 minutes from here. And he's insisting on painting two coats. That's a testament to his focus on customer satisfaction and his attention to detail. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

This is the third time I have hired A.B. Edwards for exterior renovation work and they are excellent. Their customer service is awesome with responses to emails within a few hours if not sooner. Their workmanship is of the highest quality and they always clean up after each days work. I have had them install new gutters, a new cedar shake roof, do tuck pointing and install new limestone sills, and now paint the house and barn. All done perfectly with a high level of attention to detail. I can highly recommend them. read more

"AB Edwards guarantees the windows for 5 years!" it clearly states in writing. The salesman also told me "You're covered even if someone throws a baseball through it." Yeah, right! One cracked this winter. There was no sign that anything hit it (I looked carefully) and only the outer pane cracked, not the inner one. After my initial email, with photos, I suddenly got a call from someone offering to fix it for $260. When I griped in the next email and mentioned the guarantee, this is what I got back--"You're correct Brendan, Ill give them a call and sort things out. Will keep you posted." Never heard until I emailed again almost 2 weeks later. Suddenly it was not covered again, blamed on "external factors." As far as I can tell it just cracked. You decide. Is this a company that honors their guarantees? read more

Great experience for our gutters/downspouts replacement project! Chris, the project manager, met me at the house to discuss what I was looking for and what we were experiencing with the gutters & downspouts that were on the house. Anytime it rained a decent amount, the rain water would come off the roof, miss the gutters and fall right into flower beds, bushes, etc. Whatever rain water was captured by the gutters, the downspouts could not handle causing the gutters to overflow in certain areas. Chris agreed with me that oversized downspouts would be best as well as having the gutters installed correctly with the right pitch. A contract was signed, very competitive pricing, installers arrived about a week later and the job was done professionally in about 6 hours! The installers were great, they introduced themselves before starting work, gave me updates as they progressed and informed me once they were done. They had me visually inspect their work and then they cleaned up all their debris. Very happy from start to finish with this business!!! read more

We have a leak in our roof and I called AB Edward... they will not come out and do an estimate or even look at the problem unless you agree to a $450 service call, sight unseen. Very disappointed especially after seeing the good reviews here. read more

I can't believe I'm the first to review AB Edwards. This company is an exterior construction professional. They redid my metal roof in WI after the other unscrupulous and incompetent roofer named Preferred roofing in WI messed it up. This was done probably 5 years ago and have not an issue since. My metal roof should last 50 years so that's what I'm hoping. They also installed my wood decking there and did a great job. I worked with Bo, who I think is the owner. He walked me through the big renovation from start to finish. Their prices are higher than your fly-by-night roofers but fair for professionals in the industry. I've actually learned from this company to pay a little more if needed to get it done right the first time so it won't cost me more in the long run with cheaper and inferior companies. read more

No complaints here. When we had a leak in our roof we called AB Edwards. They came when they said they were going to come. Price was comparable to all other quotes. They fixed the issue and also added a bathroom vent, replaced a attic fan and repaired a bad gutter. We will use them again for future roof related projects. read more

They did $1000 roof repair in the fall and with the first snow in January 2020 my roof was leaking. I have a TPO roofing membrane they were supposed to fix something that was obviously in need of repair. They were also supposed to check all the seams on the roof. When I contacted the office they say that they didn't guarantee their work and this was a new leak even though it wasn't. Do not use them they're dishonest they're expensive. read more

Quality and professional are the two words that best describe AB Edwards. I just spent over $18,000 with them for downspouts, gutters, new roofs on house, detached garage and attached garage. They also rebuilt my chimney. It was a lot of money but Andy, Marcin and their team were so professional and true craftsmen. Marcin and I kept in contact over 5 months because the polar vortex didn't allow them to work. They were also very conscientious of the weather this spring so they weren't working in any rain. I'm so glad I went with them. Their prices were comparable to other companies I contacted. I have the most stunning roof in the neighborhood I must say. read more

They wanted to charge a $150 inspection fee to give a written estimate for siding repairs that I sent them photos upon request. Rip Off to the max read more

Qualified, Thorough, Outstanding Craftsmanship No one in Chicago could side the small back sun porches of my two-flat building. I had chosen colonial red 4'x8' flat Hardie Board siding panels, thinking they would be easy to install. I was wrong. Very wrong. It turns out that there are only three Hardie board certified installers in the Chicago area; only they are qualified about the highly technical ins and outs of these panels, which are typically used only in commercial applications, although increasingly less so. One company owner (NOT AB Enterprise) came out and told me he could not do the job--two weeks before his company's scheduled starting date. He said that the job, upon closer inspection, was simply too difficult. My back porch had had old siding torn off and the surface was now (he said) too uneven to apply the flat board panels. Plus, I wanted quite elaborate channels to frame the squares, something that takes a lot of time. I turned to AB Enterprise, which had been my second choice all along. They were a bit more expensive, which is the only reason in the end that I'd not chosen them. Chris Ryba, their man in the field, had always been there for me: he gets back to you immediately, keeps his word, is punctual, and extremely personable and efficient. He told me that there was no reason why they could not do the work: sure, it was difficult, but not un-doable. In the end, though, they raised the price significantly given (upon closer inspection of the installation surface) the need to shim the 1/2" plywood placed underneath the panels--and the elaborate cut-outs to accommodate my hanging balconies. In the end, their work was wonderful. I'm thrilled. I wish there was a place where I could upload photos. The job is that good. Thank you Chris, for fitting me into a hectic fall schedule at the last minute. AB Enterprise: please give him a raise. Heidi read more

I had a new roof installed by A.B. Edwards in 2008 - I have had nothing but problems with the product. Multiple poor quality workmanship issues and errors caused high humidity issues in the attic - they blocked all the air vents and they would not admit that caused a problem. I could go on about the other issues I have had with them but suffice to say I would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

We had to redo flat roof after the previous contractor did the worst job ever and didn't honor his warranty (Lindholm roofing). AB Edwards was a bit pricey, but you get what you paid for - prompt and courteous service, and professional installation. Hopefully this had solved the issue with water intrusion into our kitchen and laundry room! We will use AB Edwards for all of our exterior needs. read more

Extremely good company. I hired them to replace the lintels and repoint the brick face of an older 3-story building. Their bid was competitive. Scheduling was prompt and easy and the work began on time and was completed with dispatch. The foreman Chris Ryba was friendly and knowledgeable and the crew was hard working and courteous and left the site spotless when they were finished. I especially commend Chris for his honesty and his conservative approach. The work is first rate and I have no complaints. I recommend the company highly and intend to use them again for future work. read more

Not knowing much about roofing, I felt very comfortable with the rep. that AB Edwards sent out. He explained exactly what would be done to repair the roof on a house we own in Mundelein. I appreciate that he told me I would not need a new roof for another 10 years. He also suggested how they would redo the gutters. They stuck to the timetable set up, finished the job in 1 day and left the yard immaculate. A week after the job was completed, we found a little hole made by an animal. The rep. went out to inspect it and said he would just fix it himself. I definitely would recommend this company for honesty and doing a quality job! read more

I am happy to be writing this review, 5 years after the fact! A B Edward was recommended to me by another contractor. Erik P., our contact was clear, thorough, professional. He answered all of my questions and offered clear explanations of the process, from beginning to end. The workers arrived at 7 am and left at no earlier than 6pm. On schedule, they installed a new roof, gutters, soffit, fascia and siding. They cleaned the site daily and were always professional and courteous. These pictures are 5 years later, and I couldn't be happier with the work and outcome. I'd use this company again, hands down. read more

I first worked with this company on a gutter repair due to an ice dam. I was so impressed with their prompt, thorough service that I called them again when I had a need for roof repair. They provided photos of the damage, gave me a complete rundown of the work that was needed and gave me what I felt was an extremely reasonable price. I highly recommend them! read more

I called AB Edwards for what I thought was a roof repair due to ice damming. The quote they returned was for a total roof replacement, which initially surprised me. But my skepticism was easily overcome because they shared with me all the photos they took of the rest of my roof, and the quote was reasonable considering all the work that was proposed. When the crew was here, they completed the work efficiently, cleaning up well each day, and also sweeping the ground at the end with a magnet to "catch" any stray shingle tacks. I had many questions, and Andy (owner) and Mark (COO) were very responsive and gave me lots of information about the materials, the process, and answered my more technical questions about proper roof ventilation. The office staff also is really friendly. It's clear they care about the job they are doing and the customer's needs. read more

I have used AB Edward for two different projects - to repair/rebuild chimneys on my house and to repair roof damage due to recent storms. When they did the chimney, they worked cleanly, efficiently and the end result was great - the chimney's looked like new without looking like they didn't belong to the house (they matched the brick perfectly). Overnight, we could hear banging on the scaffolding and was concerned it was loose. I called and emailed the after hours services, and one of the owners called me back right away (within 30 minutes) and actually came to our house at midnight, climbed up the scaffolding in the dark and made sure it was secure. He spent at least 45 minutes checking the scaffolding and making sure it was tight. The entire job was done in time and for a reasonable price. It was a no-brainer to call them when we needed roof work done. When they think they are going to be late to an appointment, they call. When they are on their way, they called to let me know. They are friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company and would use them again in the future. With the storms we've been having, it's good to know I can call a company that will come and take care of my house! read more

We chose this company because of their reputation on the internet and their years of business. AB Edward has perfected the business model of roofing contractors. They promptly return phone calls, arrive on time for appointments, perform extraordinary work and are clean and respectful. I was provided with detailed information regarding the suggested services to be performed, plus what might be required a few years down the line. I was given a fair quote and, once approved, the work was done promptly and professionally. It doesn't get better than AB Edward and we highly recommend this contractor. read more

We have a house that is only 8 years old and the roof that was originally installed was defective. We hired AB Edward to replace our roof as well as install new copper gutters. Bo was a pleasure to deal with, and handled the project for us. His workers not only did a terrific job, but they were very polite and did an amazing job cleaning up every night. There were a number of nights while the project was in process that we had heavy rain, and. It only were there no leaks, but Bo checked in at night to make sure that everything was good. I highly recommend AB Edward and would yes them again. read more
