Roof is done and GRC Roofing Company got it right. The inspection alone took ages rather than the quick look from the driveway I'd had elsewhere. That told me enough about how they work.
About GRC Roofing Company
GRC Roofing Company is a leading provider of residential roofing services supported by a team of experienced and certified roofing contractors near Barrington. The company is committed to delivering outstanding craftsmanship and superior customer service, with a focus on exceeding client expectations and ensuring long-term protection for investments.
Customers report that the estimate had options separated out so the choice stayed theirs. The office called the day before, the crew arrived when they said, and the foreman walked through what was found and what was done. Product sheets and sign off paperwork came without having to ask. One customer noted a previous experience with contractors involved chasing pieces of paper for months, but this was not that at all. Another had no complaints at all: the place was left tidy, the price was what was agreed, and nothing needed chasing afterward.
For a persistent ice damming issue, GRC explained that the roof was missing proper ice and water shield in critical areas and that the ventilation setup in the attic was contributing to the problem. Rather than just selling a new roof, they laid out exactly what would change and why. A full replacement included a proper ice and water barrier well past the eaves, a continuous ridge vent, and corrected soffit ventilation. The diagnosis was the part that mattered most, and this past winter was the first one in years without any ice dam issues or ceiling stains.
Work has included full roof replacement, architectural shingles, and new flashing around the chimney and skylights, with clean valleys and a ridge vent that looks much better than before. Customers describe the estimator as thorough, the contract clear, scheduling matching what was quoted, and the install crew efficient. Two days of work and the house looks ten years newer. Pricing was right in line with other quotes, and the reviews made customers confident the company was worth the difference.

What I'd mention is the way they dealt with us. The estimate had the options separated out so the choice stayed mine. The office called the day before, the crew arrived when they said, and the foreman came to the door at the end to walk me through what they'd found and what they'd done. I got the product sheets and the sign off paperwork without having to ask. My last experience with contractors involved chasing pieces of paper for months. This was not that at all, and it made the whole thing easy.
We had a persistent issue with ice damming every winter that no amount of insulation work had really fixed. The ice would back up under the shingles and we'd get water marks on the ceiling near the exterior walls every February. GRC came out and explained that our roof was missing proper ice and water shield in the critical areas and that the ventilation setup in the attic was contributing to the problem. Rather than just selling us a new roof, they laid out exactly what would change and why. We ended up going forward with the full replacement and they installed a proper ice and water barrier well past the eaves, added a continuous ridge vent, and corrected the soffit… read full review
