Ok. I am here to RAVE about this place. They are absolutely amazing. HIRE THEM. Here's why: Late last year/earlier this year we developed a leak. We had another company come out to fix this leak. They put in new gutters stating that our old gutters were causing the water to overflow and leak down the upstairs back outer wall, into the ceiling of our master bedroom. Following the first heavy rain after their "fix", the leak was not fixed and was actually worse than it previously had been (by a significant amount). This previous company came out quite a few times, said they would give us a quote after each visit (because I guess their work wasn't guaranteed), never gave us quotes (I'm guessing they had no idea what the problem was) and eventually got pretty nasty with us until they finally decided to ghost us. Immediately after previous company's last visit to our place (~2-3mo after our initial call to them), I got frustrated and called TAR because I really wanted a second pair of eyes on the problem. I was curious to whether this leak problem was really unsolvable so I told them about the ceiling leak. They sent someone out and I was immediately impressed. First, the gentleman wanted to assess the actual leak (previous company never wanted to see it). He followed COVID safety protocols. He took measurements. He was polite and knowledgeable. He then assessed the outside of the house. After his assessment he told us that we needed to replace the siding on the back wall of the second story (above our master bedroom) and that the gutters needed to brought below the roof line. That BLEW MY MIND as this means that the first company did not do their job properly, thereby causing us MORE damage. The gentleman from TAR left and shortly after I received a wonderful, polite text message that they would be in touch. They did get in touch. They sent us a quote. Their quote was less than previous companies initial quote for their bad job (which they never refunded us for). TARs quote included fixing previous company's bad job too! Importantly, TAR's work was guaranteed! And as of last night, which was the first heavy rain since TAR's work, we are finally dry for the first time in 2021! It only took them one visit, not 4-5 visits! So yes, 5 stars, These guys are amazing. read more

TAR was responsive and came out to assess my roof quickly after a large hail storm where there were multiple leaks. My entire roof was replaced and I am pleased with the work. The team was fast and professional and I would highly recommend them. read more

OK. After a few months experiencing continuous leaking, I have to update the review. They are quick and respond timely. However, the work is sub-par. After they put ice/water shied, we still have leak. Then they have someone come back and put more culk/tar here and there. And we still have leak. Until recently, we decide to replace our roof and all of the roofer said the work is unprofessional and won't help stop leaking at all. Sorry man, the business owner seems to be nice but the work is not solving our problems. read more

Highly recommended. Making the initial estimate appointment was easy, the inspector showed up on time and thoroughly explained the situation and what our options would be. He quoted a fair price and told us it'd be a two week turnaround, and it turned out that they were able to get the roof replacement done even sooner than that. Crew was punctual, professional and efficient. Definitely consider them when you need roof work. read more

No one likes replacing a roof, especially when your current one is only 5 years old, but these guys were great. They honored the price even after the price of lumber went up. They communicated clearly throughout. They even finished the job early. And they did everything I asked during inspection. I didn't expect to be a big fan of a roofing company, but I guess I am now. read more

Damian from TAR Restoration Inc., is an excellent guy to work with. This is my first time with a roof replacement project. He made it as painless as it could be. The hail damage was extensive, so the full roof with gutters and down spouts, 5 skylights, metal bay windows etc...had to be restored to original look and feel. Damian gave us clear understanding of materials he would be using for the project and made sure we chose appropriate materials whenever there was a choice available - such as skylights and gutters/downspouts and bay window top. We ended up choosing really good materials and are very happy with the output. For instance we chose synthetic underlayment than plain felt paper and subsequently our warranty was enhanced to that choice. He also used all GAF certified materials and techniques for a proper job. His project planning, scheduling of work teams and general sense of time was great. It was important because roof, gutter/downspout installation and windows should happen in a correct sequence else there is damage to outer walls and siding. Things happened whenever he said they would happen - which is a rarity in this business. I have 2 homes so I know how important this line of mine is for prospective customers. Further more, Damian hand held us through the whole process of insurance paperwork. I cannot thank him enough for such a wonderful project experience. Roof replacement is a pain but we need more young men like this guy to do it properly and not take advantage of naive home owners. read more

TAR Roofing - Thank you Damian for a great project. - Roofing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When i'm spending $15,000. on a job. I usually like to meet face to face to discuss the quote details with the salesman/foreman. Not much to ask? Two times this company wasted their time and mine. First, we had a time set for the estimate for Tuesday at noon. As I was traveling home from work to meet for appointment. I received a call from salesman, saying he was running early and he looked at property already and would send a estimate. Feeling bummed that I missed him, I waited for the estimate. The second time, Damian was to meet me on a Saturday morning. It snowed a half inch that spring morning, and somehow I knew I wasn't getting that meeting. Sure enough, phones rings, it's Damian, needs to cancel. Snow on roof, promises to come out. Weeks later, i emailed Damian and asked about our face to face. It must of hurt his feelings, because I noticed he voided the initial estimate. LOL. read more

If I could give TAR 10 stars, I would. We had two contractors come out to look at our roof because we had a leak coming through our master bedroom ceiling (on the top floor) during a recent monsoon. TAR was the only contractor to find the soft spots in our roof. They also suggested to use a silver sealant to reflect sun (and reduce heat in our bedroom.) They also needed to repair the cracking around our vent pipes. I bit my lip in anticipation of a big estimate. And then SQUEALED LIKE A LITTLE PINK PIG when it was lower than anything I could have imagined. We decided to go with TAR and couldn't have been happier. Francisco went above and beyond to get us on the books ASAP and even was able to come a day earlier than expected because they finished a job early. I had asked him if he could take before and after photos (since we don't have a ladder tall enough to get to our roof) and his crew documented EVERYTHING. Talk about owning your work! And, the crew was so good that when I got home from work, there wasn't a trace of evidence that a roofing contractor had been at our home! I'm thankful for those photos, otherwise I would have second-guessed if anyone had actually been on the roof. If you're looking for honest, quick and solid work, look no further than TAR Restoration. From start to finish they were a dream. read more

We had a great experience with TAR Restoration. They were communicative and efficient at getting the job completed

I had a free estimate done this past week and the entire process was extremely professional and seamless. I requested a quote online and they called me the following business day. The woman who scheduled me was very efficient and friendly and let me know a time window that I could expect an expert to come check out my gutters. I also received an email with all this information afterwards. The gentleman who was scheduled to arrive called 15 mins in advance to let me know that he'd be there soon. Once he arrived, he handed me a business card and was very attentive to what my issue was. He then got up on the roof and took pictures and had everything he needed in 10 mins to explain the problem to me very throughly with pictures to help illustrate it all. He wasn't pushy at all and gave me a very reasonable quote. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to explore their options with gutters and roof work. I salute whoever is in charge of leadership at this company because they are doing a fine job. read more

Very highly recommended in every way. Communication is immediate. Prices are fair for their quality of work (they earn every $$ that they make). The crews are great and fast. You won't know they were there once they're gone. Great business in a tough industry to find good people. read more

I called TAR for an estimate on my roof. The took pictures and showed my exactly what was going on. They emailed the pics to me along with the estimate. They are competitively priced, and they stay in contact with their customers (which not many other companies can say). It was such a simple process from beginning to end. I highly recommend them! read more

TAR is awesome!! Both times that I've called them for projects that needed to get done, they were so responsive and did excellent work! Krystian is very friendly when coming out to assess the project, he really made it easy to understand what the issue is and how to fix it (I hate not knowing what's going on!!). Dominik was also really responsive both times, and kept me in the loop with project updates, weather delays, etc. Both projects were done quickly, and with no surprise costs at the end. Forever recommend them for any roofing projects you have! I hope I don't have to call them again anytime soon (lol). But if I do, I at least don't have to stress about "dealing with" any companies - they make the whole process nice and easy. read more

An unbelievably wonderful experience. I got over 15 quotes for completely re-doing my roof and adding skylights and I am so glad Francisco and his team did the work: -Of all the 15 quotes I got, they were the only company to get up on the roof before they started. -Their price was the best of all of the companies. -They completed the work in ONE DAY! It was awesome, everyone else said it was a 2-3 day project. -They got me scheduled within 3 days of signing the contract. -My house poses all kinds of problems, steep pitch, tall building, limited access, no alley for parking, etc and they handled all challenges in a quick and professional way. -They cleaned up absolutely everything. Bottom line: fast, affordable, professional, overall I recommend them to anyone. read more

This company is responsive, honest, and does great work. I appreciate the roofing work they have done for my home and when I needed something addressed they promptly did so. read more

Very quick turnaround with a very fair price. Did a great job cleaning up.

Excellent communication, quality and service. Also, the price was very fair. Would definitely use TAR Restoration again. The work entailed flat and shingle roof replacement on my home. read more

We needed to install vents in our roof and do some quick patchwork. TAR made everything about this job easy from securing the quote and executing the project. Great work! read more

We're very happy with the overall experience. They could have cleaned up a little better. We're still finding nails in our grass. I would use them again. read more

TAR restoration replaced my home's roof and gutters this summer. I quoted four different companies, and while TAR was not the cheapest, they were the quickest to answer my concerns, provided clear documentation with the quote (including cert. of insurance), and were very easy to get ahold of. Their pricing was reasonable, there was not a down payment requirement, and the quote was all-inclusive (even plywood decking). Damian was extremely responsive to emails, calls, and texts, and my roof was replaced 10 days after the contract was signed. The gutter installers mistakenly installed the wrong downspouts, but when I questioned it they were replaced the next day (I was alternately offered a discount on the job). You can pay with a credit card, but they will charge a 3.5% processing fee. I am very happy with the service of TAR restoration, and I will recommend them in the future. read more

After the great initial first impression, there were many missed appointments, unanswered phone calls, emails left unanswered, workers coming when we didn't know (were they even there? we never saw them), a subcontractor who left a giant hole in the ceiling and then never returned to fix the problem (texts on Sunday morning that he had a family problem and won't be returning, ever), to a roof that GUESS WHAT is STILL LEAKING months later. This business isn't great guys, spend your hard earned cash elsewhere. They did revise the estimate down, which was nice, but we paid a lot of money, and as mentioned above, the issue was not repaired. Just wanted to share this info so others won't be left in the same bad situation. read more

Agree with the other reviews here; I was hugely satisfied with the work from Damian and his crew. Back in November, we got ditched by a different company (you can easily find my review), and we had a leaky roof slowly damaging our ceiling. I called TAR and Damian said he was not doing any more jobs for the winter, but he'd be happy to come out in the spring. I told him I would be in touch. However, Damian beat me to it--he followed up with me in February, and we arranged a estimate. His price was reasonable, he's clearly knowledgeable, and he very clearly wanted to earn our business. After waiting out the Chicago rain, his crew came out on a Tuesday in March to replace the roof, then returned about five days later to finish flashing and sealing. The roof looks great, and I couldn't recommend TAR more strongly. Great contractor! read more

Bought a house a couple months ago that had a two-year old new roof - not a repair - installed by TAR. Shingles have started to fall off. Called TAR and they are coming out to repair and inspect what I can't see from the ground. read more

Everyone did a fantastic job on our roof. Starting with Fred, our salesman. He was very patient with my numerous questions. He was also very knowledgeable. The job was done promptly. They were very clean. And our roof looks great! read more

Had a great experience with everyone from bid/inspection to final clean up. Office staff was super helpful a long the way answering all my questions and the roofing crew was fantastic. read more

THEY HONOR THEIR WORD AND RESOLVE ISSUES! some thing hard to find these days. it is a trustable company, I had given them a 5star rating when they did my job nearly 2 yrs ago, this one is because they resolved an issue that come up! Thank you Domink . read more

We had TAR out to quote new siding for our condo association. They responded quickly and provided a fair, prompt quote for their services. Unfortunately, the association decided to go in a different direction - no fault of theirs. Working with TAR in quoting the job was a pleasure, their price quoted was more than fair. We'll be back in touch with TAR for future projects. read more

Best experience I've had with a contractor in years. They did everything right, from coming on time when they said they would, bringing in the project at a good price, and completing the job quickly. Customer service couldn't be beat! read more

Our experience with TAR restoration started off rocky - an employee who I was told was since let go was really unresponsive about getting our work finished. That said, Damian did a great job saving the day and personally stepped in to expedite our work. The leak is fixed and he gave us a small discount for our troubles initially. read more

I am happy to say that TAR stands by their work. Their first trip out did not fix our leak, but they came back and redid the work for no extra charge and with no hassle. They worked quickly and the project manager was communicative and responsive to our concerns. Thank you TAR for doing the right thing. read more

TAR Restoration was wonderful. They were very responsive, they arrived as scheduled, they assessed the issue within 10 minutes, and had it repaired less than a week later (it was a very busy/heavy rain season). Their pricing was fair, and I haven't had any issues since the repair. They were the third company that I called, but the only company that actually fixed the leak. Next time they will be my first call. read more

After our roof was replaced for hail damage a few years ago, we started experiencing water coming in through a bedroom ceiling. We had never had this problem before. The contractor was a friend of a friend and claimed he had gone to check on the roof and that there was nothing wrong. He never asked to come inside and see for himself. As time went on it became worse. At the last rain we actually had a pot under the leak to catch the water. I don't understand some people. If the problem persists maybe you are missing something In your evaluation. TAR actually came into the house, measured, and found the hole on the roof and showed me pictures. Apparently, the previous workers had nailed some shingles incorrectly. As time went on, more water came in,causing more damage. TAR was relatively clean, tidy, and on time. They also repaired some poorly placed downspouts. They were respectful of our neighbor's property. Of course, the next big rain will be the big test. They were reasonably priced. Professional. Patient. They were great communicators. For me, the big moral of the story was your friend's friend is not always your friend. read more

Tar was so buttoned up it made a dreaded re-roofing simpler and smoother then could have ever been imagined...

The process from the first call, to the communication leading up to, and the work done was great. We had some minor repairs to some shingles and trim pieces that blew off in a windstorm. There was no pitch to do more than what was required and everything needed was explained well. The price was fair. The communication leading up to the work being done was good. The day the work was done, the lead worker communicated and did a great job on the agreed upon work. I would recommend this company. read more

Great, prompt work by TAR Restoration. The consult was easy, and the workers who came to complete the job were fast and courteous.

Finished my roofing project with TAR, went seamlessly from start to finish. They were proactive, responsive and accommodating. I had many questions and all were answered. Will go to them with all my future roofing needs. read more

Great service, extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. Damien responded very quickly to my request and arrived on time to inspect my roof. He inspected the roof and gave me his honest opinion that roof repairs weren't needed and that small changes in the winter time would prevent any ice from building up on the roof. He could have easily said repairs were needed but was honest and professional. If I need any roofing needs in the future he will be the first person I call. read more

Our condo association used TAR Restoration 2 or 3 times for roof repairs and we had very positive experiences with them. They are responsive, reasonably priced for the work we needed, and haven't had any issues like water damage so far. I would definitely reach out to them again for future jobs and recommend them to others. read more

When our flat roof needed to be completely redone, TAR Restoration gave us an extremely competitive price in a timely manner. When Damian came out to do an inspection and give a quote, he spent a lot of time explaining their process and how to job would go, as well as making recommendations. When it came time to scheduling the job, they were able to squeeze us in much sooner than expected. All the workers were respectful and they communicated with us throughout the process. We could not be happier with our roof installation with TAR Restoration! Would highly recommend!! read more

We have used this roofing company 3 times already on various properties. Kristin & Dominic are great to work with. We are excited to have no leaks on our new property. Great job and delighted customer, we highly recommend them and will use them again when necessary. read more
