Serving Lake Forest Homeowners
Lake Forest is unlike any other community in Lakeland’s service area. The city’s housing stock includes some of the oldest and most architecturally significant residential properties in Illinois — lakefront estates dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s, large-lot wooded properties with multi-gabled rooflines, and historic homes where the roofing system is not just a functional component but part of the character of the property.
Many of Lake Forest’s older homes have been reroofed multiple times over their lives, and the layers of previous work underneath can complicate a replacement significantly. Proper tear-off and decking assessment are essential before a new system goes down on a house that age — and on a Lake Forest property, the cost of cutting corners shows. Lakeland’s approach is to assess what’s actually there, be straight about what needs to happen, and install a system that will hold for the next 25 to 30 years without requiring constant maintenance.
Cedar shake and slate roofs remain present throughout Lake Forest’s historic neighborhoods. Cedar shake replacement is a common project, and when the original roof comes off a Lake Forest home, what goes back on needs to be installed to the same standard the house was built to. That requires experience, not just labor.
Lake Forest’s location in Lake County places it close to Lakeland’s Lake Villa headquarters at 468 Park Ave — a short drive north and west. Response times for Lake Forest estimates and emergency calls are among the fastest in the territory.
