Contractors in New Lenox

“Short Version
We recently moved into a 1920s home with a clay tile roof and discovered water damage in the master closet. The original sellers who promised to fix the roof leak used a general roofer who “fixed” the roof. Couple month later, we found mold and active leaks. Todco stood out with quick responses, cheapest quote, and great communication. Although they’re under new management, the same experienced crew is still there. Paul, the foreman, explained everything clearly and did excellent work. They fixed the issue in three days and I’ve already booked them for more repairs. If you have a tile roof, I highly recommend Todco—they know their stuff and do it right.

Long Version
Todco doesn’t have any recent comprehensive review, so I am going to chime in a long version. We recently moved into a historic district, where our 1920s home still has its original clay tile roof. When we bought the house, we noticed water damage in our master closet and asked the sellers to have the roof repaired. Unfortunately, they used a crappy general roofer who clearly had no experience with tile roofs. We thought the issue was resolved—our first big mistake.

Three months later, we finally had a closet company come to fix our master closet. When they removed the damaged closet, we discovered a wet ceiling and significant mold growth. After some heavy rain, water was literally dripping from the ceiling. I reached out to the original roofer, who shrugged it off and said, “Tile roofs are tricky. You can’t really find the leaks. You fix what looks broken—you just need a whole new roof.”

That didn’t sit right with me, so I turned to our neighborhood group and learned that tile roofs require specialists. I contacted three companies recommended by neighbors, including Todco. Every single one gave me the same answer: I didn’t need a new roof. The issue was likely due to poor flashing around the chimney and improperly installed tiles. Basically, the seller’s roofer didn’t fix anything and had no idea what he was doing.
Many neighbors vouched for Todco, so I reached out. Haris responded quickly and was incredibly personable. He made me feel like fixing our roof was a top priority. He sent an estimator out right away, and their quote was the cheapest of the three.

All the glowing neighborhood reviews were about the owner, Todd but I found out Haris is the new owner/manager (not sure which but was informed Todd has taken a step back but still involved). I couldn’t find any reviews about the new management and everyone I reached out to was with prior management. I was hesitant to sign, so I reached out to a neighbor, who contacted Todd for me. I even texted Todd directly. Shortly after, Haris called me to explain the transition and assured me the same experienced crew—Paul and Candelario—was still with them. That gave me the confidence to move forward.

And I’m so glad I did. Paul, the foreman, was fantastic. He showed me the poor design of the flashing and the patch that gave out in the flashing. He walked me through the improvements they’d be making, and how the new flashing design was much more effective. The crew worked hard, kept me updated throughout the process, and completed the job in three days. They replaced the chimney flashing, installed new ice and rain shields, and re-tiled the affected area with care and precision.

The work was excellent, and the crew was a pleasure to have around. Haris continued to follow up and support us throughout the process. I was so impressed that I’ve already booked Todco for a second job—to replace broken tiles elsewhere on the roof.
I highly recommend Todco. They know tile roofs, and they take pride in doing things the right way. If you have a home with a roof, these are the people to call.“

“Dave did the exterior brick and stone fireplace on our house twenty years ago. His workmanship and attention to detail is still evident after all these years. I contacted him recently to repair our porch columns and railings that were moisture damaged and deteriorating. We met to see what we wanted done He listened to our wants and concerns then quickly provided a very fair estimate. Dave and his crew were prompt, thorough and professional. The end result was fantastic and we couldn't be happier.“

“We needed to replace the windows in our home. We were very selective in choosing a contractor we felt confident with. Had about 6 contractors come out to give estimates and details of what products they install. AL at Keating construction came to our house, explained everything that was going to be done step by step. He took the time and made sure we got the product that was in our best interest. If you are in the market for a contractor that has the crew to do a professional job and does it well choose keating. We sure are glad we did! Keating and his crew will be highly recommend from us. Thank you Keating for a job well done!“

“I had some storm damage on the fascia/flashing and soffit on the side of my house that needed to be repaired. Mike did a great job on the work, was prompt, and finished in about 2 hours. Best of all, I had quoted 3 other vendors for the project and they were 2-3x more expensive, likely because they didnt want to come out for a small project.Services: Attic venting repairs“

“Our house flooded due to a faulty toilet, but Joe & Gabe came to the rescue & provided an easy one-stop shop experience. They dealt with the food cleanup, demo, and build out. Joe worked with our insurance from start to finish to give them any paperwork (invoices, etc), pictures, updates, etc that they needed throughout the process & took a load of that red tape off my back, making this unfortunate situation a million times more bearable. We didn't need to relocate, and all the work was done with high quality & in a timely manner. Highly recommended!“
