Lake Point Exteriors is a Waukegan-based roofing and exterior contractor, GAF Certified for both Residential and Commercial. We serve Chicago, the North Shore, Waukegan, Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee with crews that do the tear-off and the flashing with the same care as the finish shingle.
Factory spec or nothing. Every install follows the manufacturer's published instructions to the letter. Fastener count, underlayment lap, starter strip orientation, ice-and-water shield distance. When GAF's written spec says "6 nails per shingle on all pitches," that's what we do — even if the competitor next door is using 4.
Same crew, start to finish. The foreman who quotes your job is the foreman on the roof. No subcontractor swap after you sign. The same person who walked the scope with you walks the final punch-list with you.
The claim is part of the install. For storm-damage work, the documentation is as important as the shingle. Drone imagery. Xactimate estimates. Adjuster meetings at the ridge. The claim file gets built by the same company that builds the roof.
Layover installs trap moisture, void warranties, and hide rotten sheathing. We don't install over.
We sell the GAF Golden Pledge and Elevate Red Shield. Factory-backed, not just contractor-backed.
Illegal in Illinois and Wisconsin. Any contractor offering them is breaking the law and putting you in an insurance-fraud position.
Every install file is stored indefinitely. Five years from now, we can pull the exact photos, lot numbers, and install crew.
Both GAF and Elevate require factory training and documented installs to extend certification. We renew both every year, submit project documentation for ongoing audits, and host manufacturer inspector visits on qualifying projects.
Drone documentation, written loss report, and a no-pressure walkthrough — anywhere from downtown Chicago to Milwaukee.
