APEK Inc

I have called probably 10 different roofing companies from Angie's list in the last 36 hours and this was the most awkward phone call out of all of them by far. The lady who I spoke with told me they only send someone for repairs if they are within 10 miles of their HQ. I am exactly 10.5 miles from them according to the google maps. She hemmed and hawed and what it came down to is that I needed to decide on the spot if I wanted a repair done or if I wanted the entire roof replaced because she wouldn't send someone for a repair estimate past 10 miles but she would if it was a full roof replacement. Basically she made it seem like it wasn't worth their time because I wasn't sure what needed to be done. I am a first time home owner and not a roofing professional and I have no idea if it just needs a simple repair or if it is an entire rip off and replace job. She sighed at me and said "what do you want to do", so I ended the conversation. Not very professional. I have a feeling these folks have ripped people off in the past.

APEK came promptly for a quote. They came to do the job sooner than promised. The crew worked hard and got it done in 1 day, rather than 1 ½ expected. Job was completed and we paid the amount quoted-no surprises.

Very good experience overall. The price was VERY reasonable compared to two other quotes and the quality of materials used was the same as per the two other quotes. All employees were very professional. Some minor oversights and delays that were quickly taken care of. Office staff was a pleasure to work with.

Total rip off, run away from this company. They put a roof on my 88 year old parents home last November when it was 40 degrees outside. Nothing stuck. Tiles all over the grass the next day. Called the office and they did nothing. Now we have ceiling leaks and water damage. Called again and the came out and once again did nothing.Now they dont return phone calls.

From Receptionist to estimator with samples & contract-excellent installers prompt, courteous, efficient and punctual (1 day early for installation & perfect, no complaints will definitely recommend and use APEK again! thank you).

They were very prompt in responding to my request. They came out and looked at the area and made recommendations. We set a time do to the work. They arrived on time and left the area very clean. The prices were good. I would recommend them to friends and family members.

The proposal stated they remove all debris from roof and all debris would be picked up and property would be left same way they found it. Also stated that they use a roll off dumpster service. Biggest problem is 6 months later our roof still has not passed inspection!!!!! But add to that the following: Immediately after they did the roof our toilets weren't flushing properly. My husband went up on the roof and saw that the vent stacks were clogged with old shingles and he needed to clean them out. (Not sure what we would have had to do if my husband wasn't knowledgeable enough to figure out the problem and correct it promptly) They did not use a roll off dumpster, issue to us with that is we believed the cost to include the charge of that so we feel as though we paid for something they did not incur cost for. They did NOT remove debris from the roof or from our yard. Our landscaping and bushes were full of shingle pieces and roofing nails. Every time we had wind, rain, or melting snow we had more debris coming from roof including roofing nails scattered in our yard and driveway. The workers used our new gutters as ashtrays so I had to clean cigarette butts from the yard where the downspouts left them. They broke some of our solar lights and one decorative frog in our landscaping. We have a white fence around our porch and there was tar on the fence. They said they would come to clean the fence but so far it has not been done. They left exposed wood which they did eventually come back and correct. The decorative chimney cap was installed at an incorrect angle, they did correct that. We had a shingle come off the roof which they have replaced. The stress that we are under because our roof has not passed inspection is high. I feel that the owner does not take our concern seriously nor does he give it priority. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The roofing job was done efficiently and with good results. The problems occurred after the work weas completed. We found one of the roof support beams was cracked, most probably from dumping the heavy bundles of shingles. When first contacted, they sent someone out to corret the problem. This occurred in a location that was easily accessible ao it was easily spotted. A couple of weeks later we were having the attic cleaned out due to raccoon infestation and when they fionished the work, my son went up to insure the work was complete and found another cracked rafter. We called Apek back to have it repaired. Their attitude was we don't think we did it unless yo have pictures showing it before the roof was installed. Now, who goes up into their attic to take pictures? Apek contends they did not cause the problem and wont fix it. Further, they provided proof of insurance when contract was signed and when I attempted to file a claim, I was told they were not insured. I called Apek and told them this, they said they were insured but refused to give me the name of the insurer. Overall, workmanship on the roof was acceptable, but their professionalism leaves a lot to be desired. Would use them again, probably not since I can't trust what they say.

Mr Ronan was a professional in every sense of the word. He waas friendly, courteous and informative. He wasn't pushy. He knew I would be getting other estimates and that the insurance had already paid me. He never tried to find out what I was paid by my insurance or what others had quoted. This showed me he had confidence in himself and his company. I chose this company to do my work mainly because of Mr Ronan. I will write another renew after completion of work.

A crew of 7 men arrived exactly on time and set to work immediately. The two layers of shingles and all old roofing paper plus three old skylights were removed in less than 1/2 a day. All debris was carefully dumped into an appropriate sized dumpster. Our rear deck and all greenery around the house was covered with tarps for protection. When the roof was taken down to the boards the new shingles were delivered and placed on the roof to facilitate installation. After a quick lunch break work commenced on installing 32 1/3 squares of new asphalt shingle plus the 3 new skylights. During the installation process they noticed that one 4' X 8' board was damaged and that was replaced. At the completion of the job the crew took at least 3 hours to thoroughly cleanup the entire work area. They painstakingly went through all the greenery to remove bits of paper, shingles and nails that escaped their first attempt at cleanup. They also used mower-like magnets to sweep the grass of all hidden nails and other bits of metallic objects.

The process was perfect from start to finish. John, who gave us our estimate, was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Office staff were helpful and friendly. The job was completed efficiently and accurately.. Their prices were competitive, and I was very satisfied with the company.

They came when they said they would. Everything was clean when they left.

Thank you APEK Roofing for the awesome job! Alvernia Manor is a senior living facility in Lemont with multiple buildings and roof structures. The project was a complete tear-off with numerous board replacement and roof vents installed. Brain, Sylvester and crew were pleasant, professional and worked so smoothly together as a Team. Any questions/concerns raised were addressed immediately. Everyday our property was left clean and orderly ? you?d never know such an extensive project was underway. This $150,000 plus project was completed to our total satisfaction. The new roof has made our facility beautiful again. We would without hesitation highly recommend APEK Roofing.

No service provided. We used another contractor since they never sent a quotation.

After scheduling problems (weather and product availability) Chris (installer) and his partner were on time and showed me in advance of what they were going to do. End result was perfect.

Arrived promptly at 7:00 am. Had tear off and paperwork done by 10:00, completed re-shingle and clean up by 1:00 pm. Company beat other estimates by several hundred dollars.

Got 3 estimates, Bryan from Apek gave best offer. Checked Angie's List, Apek had great reviews. Work done in two days, on time, very nice and cleaned up great.

We would gladly recommend Apek to others. From the outset, Brian (estimator/salesman) was great. He spent all the time it took to answer our questions- never felt rushed. Brian didn't try to sell us the most expensive product they had, but explained why a quality siding, etc made sense. From start to finish, Brian responded to our calls/texts within minutes. Price for the project came in slightly lower than other estimates for similar products and install. When we placed order at office, we worked with Lee and owner Jim to make sure all details were accurate and timing would work. Through the process, we communicated several times with Lee and she was responsive, professional and answered any question we had. When it came time for install, the guys were great. Chris and Stosh did a high quality job with all aspects. They were on-time and would gladly answer any questions or requests. Jim, the owner, stopped on site one day to make sure everything was going as planned. All facets of the project was top notch. If we had to nitpick anything, and this is nitpicking, they said it would take 3 or 4 days and it ended up taking almost 6. That said, we told installers that we'd rather have quality than quick. They took their time and the finished product looks great. We are very happy and would hire Apek again in a second.

Excellent from start to finish. Starting with John the salesman, to Jim who helped me pick the right color, to the roofers pride of workmanship, to the friendly office staff.

The APEK team was first rate. It begins with he estimate process. Brian was my key contact thru every step. He discussed with me his detailed recommendation without over selling me. We discussed the types of roofs in the neighborhood and he advised me what I would but also would not need. Much of the roofing industry is vanity based. Brian was honest with me as to what was needed and what was not, never putting on the hard sale. On the days of services the team was courteous to my family and my neighbors, this was important to me. The appeared to be very safe,memento postponing a day due to high winds. At the conclusion of each day the site was completely cleaned up. While it is early, the quality of the work appears to be solid, time will tell. Lastly, at the conclusion of the job Briannwalked around my house discussing what had been done and reviewing any concerns I had at the time. I can highly recommend APEK Roofing.

Beautiful roof ... great service ... peace of mind ... that best describes my experience with Brian and Apek. Every phone call returned promptly, every question addressed and answered, highly recommend Apek. If you need a roof, Call Brian.

Lead man injured himself shortly after arrival, and was taken to emergency room. Never returned. No one seemed to be in charge. Some gable work needed to be corrected. Office & follow-up work was satisfactory.

CREW WAS ON TIME, VERY PROFESSIONAL, DID EXCELLENT WORK AND CLEANED UP THE AREA. THE PRICE WAS VERY COMPETITIVE AND A GREAT VALUE. THE OFFICE AND SALESMEN WERE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES.

I liked the pricing and the way they did the work. They cleaned up every night after they were done. They brought trucks in on the asphalt driveways and put plywood underneath it to spread the weights so the driveways wouldn't crack. I liked their quality of workmanship and materials. They were outstanding. One other thing they did that helped out is, they file all the paperwork with the insurance company. They handled all that so that was very good. I would recommend them highly.

Workers polite & did clean work minimal disruption.
