For over 40 years, Total Roofing and Construction has served Cook County families and businesses with full roof replacement services. When your roof fails, water damage and structural problems follow quickly. You need experienced roofing contractors who understand specific property needs. We specialize in complete tear-offs and premium installations, helping homeowners and commercial property managers transition from failing systems to GAF-certified roofing systems that withstand Des Plaines, IL’s unique climate.
