Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Chicago Flat Roof Company with the Illinois state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the Illinois state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Chicago Flat Roof Company with the Illinois Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the Illinois Secretary of State directly.
- Unverified Address Chicago Flat Roof Company's listed address at 8745 W Higgins Rd, Chicago, IL 60631 appears to be a unconfirmed address. A roofer using a mailbox isn't necessarily a problem, but it can make the company harder to reach or hold accountable. To reach them in person, ask the contractor for a physical address or confirm one directly.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Chicago Flat Roof Company. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Chicago Flat Roof Company (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 3.1 out of 5, which we label Okay. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. Averages like this can be pulled down by a few reviews or a single dispute, so treat it as a starting point and read the underlying reviews for context.

Customer reviews of Chicago Flat Roof Company present sharply divided experiences. Some reviewers praise the work quality and customer service, with one describing a "free quote with honest assessment" and "very thorough work," and another commending the technician's friendliness and the manager's responsiveness to corrections. However, multiple reviewers report significant problems. Several customers describe poor communication, including unresponsive staff, missed appointments, and failure to return calls or emails for extended periods. Reviewers report incomplete or substandard work, including roof installations that failed inspections and leaks that reappeared after repair. One reviewer alleges a technician deliberately caused $22,000 in property damage after being asked to correct poor work. Additional complaints include unfulfilled promises to complete follow-up work, unscheduled visits and unexpected invoices, incorrect material installations, and difficulty obtaining warranty documentation. One reviewer questions whether the company holds proper licensing.
