We signed a contract with Clark Ebert at CR Ebert JR. Long story short, he stole the deposit money due upon contract signing with no intention of doing the work or ordering supplies. Almost 5 months later, he says he has no money to refund us. No work has been done. He hasn't even picked up the permit or completed the city's vendor registration. Shame on you, Clark. ​ read more

Never finished the job they were paid to do. Charged me the full amount upfront when I gave my credit card number (which I shouldn't have done). The job had two parts: fix a roof leak (exterior) and repair the ceiling stain (interior). They never did the interior part, even after numerous back and forth calls and messages. Lousy customer service and even worse repair service. This company is totally fraudulent. Check their other reviews online, they scam people consistently. read more

I called them for a simple gutter guard installation on the second level of my house. They sent Tony over to install them, who didn't even bring his own ladder and had to use mine. This was August of 2020 and it wasn't until the winter storms happened that the guards started flying off the roof. Tony hadn't installed them properly. The adhesive strips still had the backing on them, so there is nothing securing them to the gutter. I texted CR Ebert Roofing to see if this could be rectified and they said yes, they would fix it. Then nothing. I called them today and said they never got the payment from Tony that I gave him, so they aren't responsible for fixing it and I should call Tony. Hell, I don't have Tony's number, this was all set up through CR Ebert. The only reason I'm not giving them one star is because it seems the company got shafted by Tony as well, but they were the ones that sent him over! A company should take responsibility for the people they send in their name. So now I'm stuck with loose gutter guards that flap loudly on windy nights keeping me and my kids up. And that's if the guards don't straight up fly off the roof. read more

CR Ebert, JR Roofing & Siding does excellent work. They are thorough and explain the process step-by-step. When I need estimates done, they are quick to get to it. Thanks for the fast responses and the great quality of work! read more

They reroofed my house and garage over 5 years ago and did a great job. I had a question last month about hanging an item in the garage. They came right over and gave great advise at no cost. Great people to deal with even after the work was done read more

Terrible company. Hired them to do drywall work. Never came back to do the final mudding or other work. Was happy to charge my credit card in full. 5 phone calls to tony have gone unreturned. Talked to bob who said he would get the bottom of it, never called me back. Hire another contractor who isn't a thief. read more

The workers were very nice and professional. They did great work and it was very reasonably priced.

I have known Robert Ebert since I was 10 years old when we were both in grammar school together in Glencoe. Whenever I have a roofing problem, I call CR Roofing and they're there pronto. I totally trust his crew and highly recommend them. read more

Pros: Quick reply when submitting a inquiry Other: I reached out to this company on January 4, 2017- An estimator was at my home providing a quote the following morning. I accepted the quote based on the following: The estimator was one of the owners, the price seemed to be reasonable, the detail put into the estimate seemed to be legit, and they were able to begin the work immediately (following day). On January 6, 2017, I contacted the estimator to confirm arrival (it was an hour past scheduled time). I would have appreciated notice of their lateness, but the fact he answered and assured they were in route, I was fine, at this point I am grateful their moving on this so fast. The estimator assured me there was just a slight delay and the team would be arriving within an hour. Fifteen minutes before their rescheduled time, I get a call from a random person who says they are the workers. This conversation did not go well- I was told that their truck would not start. Mind you this company is in North Chicago and I am in Skokie, why am I getting a call 45 minutes after being told you were in route, this call should have been made awhile ago or when I originally called to see what the delay was. At this point I am frustrated and I contact the estimator who is now not available but text saying that he was in a meeting and just got word the truck would not start. I am sorry but this doesn't fly with me- As a business manager myself, I would know the minute my truck is not starting and a customer is going to be affected. I would not tell someone within an hour, knowing it takes an hour alone just to get to the customers house. Nonetheless, a team did not arrive today. The following day (January 7, 2017) a team arrives and is done within two hours. Red flag! Mind you they arrived early (great) so I was not present but when I did come after their call to me that they were done, I was not happy, again. The gutter/damages looked nothing more than half done- The gutter was still hanging, there was visible daylight between the gutter and roof, and the owner/estimator was not resent (as he promised he would be). I am now trying to explain to the team how this "completed work" is not what was discussed with the estimator. On the other hand the estimator is on the phone telling me the work is done (when he is not the one present) and that he is demanding payment. I not being the argumentative person lets them know the work is not complete, I will pay when the work is complete. This did not go well with the estimator and I then received a "threatening" voicemail that I would not be able to sell my home, they will have a lien placed on my home, and he wanted his money, "today!". My simple reply via text was that when he is physically able to be present to see this "work completion", they will get paid. The following day the estimator came and saw that the work was in fact not completed. At this point there is still some miscommunication b/c the gutter is not fixed and I am being told that in order for the gutter to be fixed, they would have to replace, "everything". When I had the estimate written, the purpose of their coming out to estimate was to replace all the wood around so that the gutter has something to hang to. Apparently that was misunderstood. This company charged $850- There was NOT $100 worth of material used at all for what was done. I was told they did not have all the material needed to complete the job, they would return. Today is January 13, 2017, and they have yet to return. A lot of rescheduling at the last minute after I have reached out to confirm scheduled time (30 minutes prior). Again, the company seems to have a great image. After a week ordeal of lack of communication, undelivered promises, I cannot recommend this company. If you do choose to use this company, make sure you reference this note so that they know you are aware of their business handling processes. Best of luck to all you decision makers! J read more

This company is terrible. Their work is terrible.They are unreliable.They never show up when they say they'll be there. We (HOA) contacted the owner of this company George Ebert on 5/7 for parapet repair, chimney stack rebuild and chimney stone cap replacement. He sent "Tony" and they quoted $10,000 job, we approved and a 50% deposit given. Over the next 8 weeks they showed up sporadically and always left a mess, cig butts in my bird bath, trash everywhere, dumped barrel of sand on newly sodded backyard, cement slop all over my patio furniture. We have four stacks and they actually rebuilt my neighbors chimney (the 5th stack, didn't realize it wasn't ours - ?? What?! It's attached to the building North of ours) and when they covered the neighbors stack they didn't cut an opening in the cement. This stack is for my neighbors furnace exhaust. If this was left as is it could have been a terrible, tragic event. The roofing material they only used screws ever 2nd or 3rd hole - so the flashing not adequately affixed to the parapet. They finally just stopped showing up so after two months we fired them (8/9). The email reply from George Ebert, the owner, replied "got it". They are completely out of their league running a business. I have pictures of their terrible masonry, cement work and wish I could post them here. Beware of this group of people, they are completely inadequate and could cause serious damage to your property! read more
