This is the best company in illinois if you are looking to fix your roof or siding!Posted on Google Sokratis KoutelidakisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Jsmm inc for my roof and work inside my house, they did amazing job! Jonathan and his crew are focusing on the details, they gave me updates very often and they finished everything in the timeframe that they told me. I will use them in the future for other projects too.Posted on Google Ron HsiaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team for your roof repair needs. A couple of weeks ago, we discovered a roof leak that made its way through the ceiling of our bedroom. We called some water mitigation folks to dry out the attic and made the mistake of allowing them to tarp our roof to prevent additional leaking. Even though there affected area was relatively small, they ended up tarping the entire roof. When our insurance adjuster came out, he informed us that because of the holes they put in, we'd likely need the replace the whole roof and that insurance may only cover the small section of roof that was actually leaking, which would mean we would be on the hook for the rest. Enter JSMM. They made quick work of the roof replacement and even identified and resolved the root cause of the leak (improper roof system for the roof angle). Additionally, Jonathan was an excellent communicator and throughout the process, I felt very assured that he had our back. Finally, he was an excellent mediator between us and our insurer. Dealing with homeowners insurance is almost always a pain but with Jonathan in the loop, all of that pain was hidden from me. I didn't need to worry about explaining the situation to the insurer, or about accidentally saying the wrong thing that could adversely affect my claim. He was able to negotiate with the insurer to get my whole roof replacement covered. If what the adjuster said is true, including Jonathan in the project probably saved me around $30k and absolutely increased my peace of mind. No roof leak can be called stress-free but bring JSMM into the mix and it'll be as stress-free as possible.Posted on Google Stephanie DoroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JSMM Inc. deserves 10 stars if this was an option! What an incredible experience I had dealing with them from start to finish on my insurance claim from hail and wind damage! Jonathan, the owner, was exceptionally great. from dealing with the insurance company, to dates and times about material drop off and installation. I literally didn’t have to do anything. He got the most out of the insurance and way more than I expected. Roof, gutters, down-spouts, garage door, soffit, facia, front door and storm door and window coverings. I was ecstatic! all while covering my deductible! His crews doing the install, were kind and courteous and also quick and thorough and everything looks fantastic. Grade A adjuster and contractor and would highly recommend! Final pics to follow!Posted on Google James LeviTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

After the siding, roof, and gutters got pummeled by hail, I received a recommendation for JSMM through a family friend. Johnathon came out and thoroughly explained everything he was going to do to fix up the house. Every single stage of the process was communicated, and I always knew when supplies were going to arrive, and when crews were going to be on site to work. Absolutely phenomenal. I will be walking in my family friend's footsteps, and recommending JSMM to anyone I know who is looking for a top tier general contractor service.Posted on Google Brian DeSimoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

How a Lake Forest Reroof Proceeds
Every project starts with knowing what is actually up there. Here is the sequence we follow. Assessment comes first, covering membrane, seams, flashing, and moisture trapped in the insulation. You receive a written report with photographs before any figure is quoted. Specification follows the findings. Single-ply systems such as TPO roof replacement and EPDM roof replacement in Lake Forest suit most flat and low-slope buildings, matched to budget and energy targets. Scheduling then works around trading hours, tenant access, and any review the village requires. Owners with mixed portfolios can see our full commercial roofing services.
What Replacement Delivers for Your Property
A new roof settles more than the leak that prompted the call. These are the returns owners here notice.
-
Facades Left Intact
Work confined to the roof plane, protecting historic frontages on Market Square and Deerpath.
-
Phased for Multi-Tenant Buildings
Sections completed in turn so tenants keep working through the project.
-
Performance Across Large Spans
Reflective membranes and fresh insulation cut running costs on wide office roofs.
-
Close-Out Documentation
Warranties, specifications, and photographs handed over for your property records.
Orderly, documented, and planned around occupancy, a business roof replacement in Lake Forest should never disrupt the tenants below.
Signs the Roof Has Reached Its Limit
Low-slope roofs decline gradually before they fail. Reading the signals early turns a crisis into a planned project.
-
Ceiling Stains Spreading
Marks appearing in new places show water is traveling above the deck.
-
Wet Insulation Below the Membrane
Saturated boards hold moisture permanently and no surface patch will dry them.
-
Drains Backing Up After Storms
Water clearing slowly points to failing falls or an undersized drainage layout.
-
Roof Past Its Warranty Term
Cover expired and repairs frequent usually means the system has served its span.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace the roof or keep repairing it?
Spreading stains, wet insulation, or a roof beyond its warranty term point to replacement. Isolated faults usually just need fixing. Book a free inspection for a straight assessment.
Which system suits a Lake Forest building?
TPO and EPDM handle most flat roof replacement in Lake Forest, with different strengths. Our guide on roof flashing covers detailing that matters on either.
Does preservation review affect the work?
It can on historic buildings. We prepare the documentation the village requires and keep visible detailing sympathetic to the frontage.
What determines the cost of a reroof?
Roof area, system choice, insulation, deck condition, and access all count. An itemized estimate follows a free inspection, with no obligation.
Can tenants stay in place during the project?
Usually, yes. Phasing keeps occupied areas covered and secure, and a prior roof inspection lets us plan the sequence accurately.
