OUR SERVICES
Residential Roofing & Exterior Services
Shingle replacement and repair is our most requested residential service. We install CertainTeed’s Complete Roofing System—from the ice and water shield at the base to the ridge vent at the top and back every install with a 50-year manufacturer warranty and a 10-year Lakeland workmanship warranty. We also offer the Landmark Pro upgrade for a heavier, thicker shingle at the same warranty level.
Metal roofing delivers exceptional longevity, energy efficiency, and weather resistance, particularly in the Midwest where hail, ice, and wind cycles take a toll on traditional shingles. We install metal roofing systems for residential homes across Chicagoland and Southern Wisconsin, with options to complement any architectural style.
Not every roofing issue requires a full replacement. Our team handles targeted repairs, inspections, and ongoing maintenance to extend the life of your current roof. We document everything in writing and tell you honestly what needs to be done now versus what can wait: no upsells, no pressure.
Midwest storms move fast and the damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Lakeland provides free storm damage assessments, detailed documentation for insurance claims, and emergency tarping when you need immediate protection. We’ve helped hundreds of Chicagoland homeowners navigate the insurance process from first call to finished roof.
Gutters protect your foundation, fascia, and landscaping, but only if they’re installed correctly and maintained. We install 6″ K-style .032-gauge aluminum seamless gutters with hidden hangers, aluminum box miters, and 3″×4″ downspouts, cut to fit your home exactly. We also offer a range of gutter guard options to keep debris out year-round.
Your siding is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. We install and replace exterior siding built to stand up to Midwest weather — protecting your home’s structure while improving its curb appeal. Same honest process as our roofing work: a written estimate, clear communication, and a clean job site from start to finish.

THE LAKELAND ADVANTAGE
CertainTeed Complete Roofing System
What’s included in every Lakeland shingle installation:
Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield
- Winter Guard is installed at 6 feet from the gutter edge, in all roof valleys, and around every vertical penetration — chimneys, pipe stacks, skylights.
- CertainTeed guarantees it seals around every nail, which is critical in the Chicago metro where ice dams are a real annual threat.
- A roof without proper ice and water protection at the eaves is a roof waiting for a ceiling stain.
High-Performance Synthetic Vapor Barrier
- We do not install traditional felt. The synthetic vapor barrier is not optional — it is a required component for achieving the full Certai
- Teed warranty and significantly extends the long-term performance of the roof assembly
- Felt absorbs moisture and degrades; the synthetic barrier does not.
Swift Start Starter Course
- The starter course is the first shingle course installed along the eave and rake edges.
- CertainTeed’s Swift Start starter course is specifically engineered to work with Landmark shingles and enables a 130 MPH wind rating on every installation. Most contractors skip a proper starter course. We don’t.
CertainTeed Landmark Architectural Shingles
- CertainTeed Landmark shingles are among the heaviest and thickest architectural shingles on the market. Independent hail testing and real-world storm performance data show CertainTeed holds up where competitor products — including big-box-store shingles — fail.
- Landmark shingles carry a Limited Lifetime warranty and are available in a wide range of colors.
- Available with or without algae resistance depending on the property’s environment and sun exposure.
Filtered Ridge Vent System
- Proper attic ventilation extends shingle life, reduces energy costs, and is required for full warranty eligibility.
- Lakeland installs a filtered ridge vent system with air baffles or slant-back roof vents, chosen based on the roof’s configuration and pitch.
- We do not install “mushroom” vents — they’re prone to bee and wasp infestations and are not covered under Certai
- Teed manufacturer warranties. If the existing roof has mushroom vents, we replace them.
Premium Roofing Materials Built for Midwest Weather
CertainTeed Landmark Architectural Shingles
CertainTeed Landmark Architectural Shingles
CertainTeed Landmark shingles are the foundation of the Lakeland residential roofing system. They’re the heaviest and thickest architectural shingles on the market — designed to outperform in real-world hail events and laboratory impact simulations where lighter competitors fail.
The Landmark Pro upgrade delivers even greater weight and thickness, with the same Limited Lifetime warranty and the same CertainTeed-backed system underneath. If you’re replacing a roof you expect to keep for decades, the Pro is worth the conversation.
Both tiers come with a 50-year CertainTeed Labor & Material Warranty when installed by a Certified Select Master Shingle Applicator — which Lakeland is.

Metal Roofing Systems
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing has evolved significantly — today’s options range from standing seam panels to metal shingles that mimic the look of traditional materials while delivering far greater durability and energy performance.
Metal is particularly well-suited to Chicagoland homes that have experienced repeated hail damage, ice dam issues, or are looking for a low-maintenance long-term solution.
We’ll walk you through the options based on your home’s architecture, your budget, and what makes sense for your specific exposure and pitch.
Cedar Shake & Synthetic Roofing Options
Cedar Shake & Synthetic Roofing Options
Cedar shake offers exceptional natural insulation and weather resistance, and ages into a distinctive look that holds up well in the Midwest climate. For homeowners who want that aesthetic without the maintenance overhead, synthetic slate and synthetic shake options deliver similar curb appeal with greater durability and lower long-term upkeep.

Our approach is straightforward: use the best materials, be honest about what you need, and stand behind the work when the project is done.
