Called to get a quote to create holes in my townhome roof so the exhaust fans could be vented to the outside. (Builder never finished the job.) I have discussed with the home inspector and two HVAC professionals, plus the HOA. Got called back by Matt, who after my brief description proceeded to "educate" me about what was really happening in my attic space. Multiple theories. None of them correct. He wasn't happy when I told him he was wrong, and didn't believe me when I told him I'd personally seen the set-up (along with others.) I told him to forget it and hung up. He texted me that "he didn't know what happened" but he'd been asking questions to try to help me and he CAN help me. I texted back that he hadn't asked me a single question, talked over me, and acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. Best we don't waste each other's time. HE TOLD ME I WAS WRONG. THAT I MISUNDERSTOOD. He was helping me! I guess the timbre of my female voice must've confused him, possibly triggered some kind of mansplaining seizure? In any case, I learned long ago never, ever to give guys like this money. YMMV. read more

I used Matt recently for smaller roofing repair jobs at separate locations He was incredibly knowledgable about what needed to be done, and was prompt, organized and communicative in scheduling each job. He completed both jobs on the dates we agreed upon. He is a true professional whose skills, workmanship and demeanor are of the highest caliber. The price for both jobs was fair and reasonable. I would recommend him wholeheartedly. Larry F read more

Matt was recommended to us by two very trusted exterior home professionals. His attention to detail and follow-through has ensured that he is our first call for any roof related repair. Thanks Matt! Hats off to your excellent customer service and your willingness to be flexible in our ever changing schedule!! read more

Matt was great. Need a fast fix on a few loose shingles before a rainstorm. Quick, communicative, and priced right. Highly recommend.

Chris came out at the first availability when weather permitted, found the source of my leak, fixed it the same day quickly and showed me pictures. He then explained so many things to me to help me understand what I should look for in a future roof replacement project. Very knowledgeable guy and I appreciate all the information provided on top of completing the work. Thank you! read more

Matt at LeakStop is really the best. He is full of knowledge, advice, and his experience shows. He is clear in communicating scope of work, project schedule, and maintenance tips. I've used Matt for roofs for 2 different properties, each with its own set of unique challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt. Don't waste your time with other roofs who aren't able to keep their scheduled appointment times and ambiguous estimates. Call LeakStop instead :-) read more

Can I give out 12 stars? That's how good Michael was. I called about an issue with my attic fan. He came out a couple of hours later to look at the issue. He explained what he thought the problem was and how he would repair it. We agreed on a price. Told him I'd see him later in the week. He said no, he's going to get some parts and repair it today! "Something less to worry about" he said. He also looked around on the roof and repaired some flashing that had come up. Mike was great. I'd recommend him for any roof repair issues! read more

I had a totally 5-star experience with Leak Stop. First, there was direct, clear, and prompt communication. Second, all communication was from Michael Glow, Leak Stop's owner (which I greatly appreciated). Third, they did what they proposed to do when they said they'd do it, and at a reasonable cost. Fourth, the worksite was spotless after they did the work. Fifth, after they did the work, and it was time to pay, Michael suggested that we wait until after we'd had a couple of good rains so we could be sure that their efforts had been successful. Sixth, long after that work was completed, and through a couple of seasons now, there has been zero evidence of further leaking. Therefore, I highly recommend them!! read more

I highly recommend. Our house is a flip. The roof was put on by the lowest bidder. Leak stop came in and found the problem. They put in a temporary fix so we could get through the upcoming rain. Then came back and fixed it properly the next week. That was maybe 3 years ago and it is still not leaking. Now we have a different problem and happily called them back. They will fix the new problem in a couple days. Cost under $500. They do what the name implies. Your roof is leaking, call them! I don't think they do full roof replacements. Maybe they do? But their focus seems to be on coming in and fixing the leak problems. read more

Gotta tell you Chris just a honest as they come. I was skeptic at first. But he came explained in detail for about hour so I can understand (class 101) and found the roof nothing need done HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Chris did an awesome job on a next day appointment, at a very reasonable rate. He made a stressful time a lot easier, and he would be my first call if I had to do it again. read more

I've worked with Michael and Matt both on my house and have referred them to clients. Quality work, timely responses, reasonable prices, solid knowledge, good communication. Nothing but good things to say about these guys and will continue to refer them. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Very professional, followed through on everything in proposal at the price quoted. I would definitely recommend !

I used Leak Stop Roofing on my 120 year old building in Lincoln Park and they did a great job assessing any spots that needed work, informing me on the remaining life of my roof, fixing the slate on my building that was loose, as well as fixing a gutter problem. Mike and his partner were professional, reasonably priced and even threw in a couple of extras. I would definitely use them again if I ever have a problem. read more

Paul was absolutely amazing. He responded to my initial call within 15 minutes of my initial call. Paul is polite and very professional and takes time to clearly explain your options. He is the professional who is also doing the work himself, does not get better then that these days. Our roof leaked into our home and Paul went up on the roof and in a detailed manor explained to us all of the issues. He fit us in within 48 hours of the call and it was fixed ASAP. Thank you Paul. A+++++ All The Way Around. read more

We had leaking in three separate units from the roof due to the recent snow and rain. After being ignored by local services I reached out to Mike and he was in the city in no time (on a Sunday no less). He assessed the situation carefully and promptly fixed our roof. The leaking has stopped. Mike was very professional and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Leak Stop Roofing for any roofing repairs you need. read more

I called at 9PM and had a phone call back by 9AM the next morning. Mike came out that afternoon and stopped the leak at my house. Understand - Mike does not steam the snow off your roof -- he shovels it off and breaks the ice off. Once the snow and ice are gone, nothing more is there to melt and leak into your house. I couldn't be more pleased. The leak stopped and he did it for 1/2 the price the other company quoted. This is a friendly honest man who does a great job. He told me what it would take to fix the roof - I said I was going to try to get the original roofer to fix it - he was fine with that. Highly recommend this service. And just FYI - if you can get the snow off your roof before the big melt comes (and we all know its coming)) you will save yourself a lot of grief. :-) read more

Discovered my leak at approximately 3pm Sunday afternoon in my daughters bedroom. Called and spoke with Mike and he was at our house with 10 minutes. Quick service and very honest. Highly recommend. read more

Leakstop came out to supposedly seal the counterflashing on our chimney. We recently had a leak after a major rainstorm, and a guy from a different roofing company looked at it and said that our counterflashings look like they haven't been sealed in years. We have seem the photos. Leakstop charged us $250 for work that they didn't do. read more

Matt at Leak Stop Roofing was wonderful to work with. Fair pricing, excellent service, and very knowledgeable about what we needed done which included gutter cleaning, some gutter repair, and flashing on the chimney. I highly recommend using this company. read more

Mike was very helpful in my conversation with him. I have a vaulted exposed wood ceiling in a mid century split level that was leaking without rainfall. He explained that many customers were experiencing condensation similar to mine. This winter has been unusual with extreme cold but no snow pack. Rather than suggesting a total ripoff of the roof (which did not work for others with same problem), he suggested trying to lower humidity levels in house. I appreciate that he was very forthcoming with me and answered any and all questions I had. read more

Chris was both thorough and professional in diagnosing cause of a small leak I noticed. He was also professor like in describing ideal conditions to prevent leaks. He responded to my call quickly and communicated clearly that he could come out to take a look. He texted to confirm appointment the morning of. We also had a follow-up call to ensure my full understanding and satisfaction. read more

In the middle of a heavy rain, our ceiling started dripping. Early the next morning I called a few places, and Leak Stop Roofing had already come out to my house and fixed my roof before the next person even called back. The price was very reasonable and, most importantly, after a few more downpours I can say with certainty that they fixed the problem! read more

Unfortunately three leaks had re-sprung. They returned to fix them, they were better for a while. One has since appeared yet again. Leak stop told me they were out of ideas and I should call a Stucco company. I had a generally good experience but feel I have to reduce the rating for 4 stars instead of five now. read more

This is the second project at our house for Leak Stop Roofing. We had other roofer options available sooner, but wanted to wait for Leak Stop to be available after a big Chicago storm. It was worth the wait. They had to tear up a roof deck, quite a bit of it, to find 2 separate leaks in our roof membrane. Afterwards, they put everything back in place with stainless deck screws and even had their guys move a roof top Jacuzzi back in place for us. Michael is straightforward, direct, honest about their timing and the scope of the project. Let's hope we don't need them any time soon, but when the next leak pops up, calling Leak Stop again. read more

I was concerned about a January roof leak in multiple areas during a heavy rain. I wondered if the tar paper and shingles had been compromised after a big wind storm last week. I called Mike and he responded back within a half hour and was at my house within the hour. How's that? Great customer service. He inspected the inside and out of the roof and referred me to an attic ventilation specialist to address condensation problems. Straight-forward and honest. I appreciate that. Now I can get on with life not worrying about something I thought was much worse. read more

I noticed an active drip in my attic a few weekends ago and I found Leak Stop Roofing online. I contacted them through their website and on Monday morning I got a call from one of their workers. He was in the area and could stop by my house that day within a few hours. When he arrived, he saw the issue immediately and explained that my chimney had an improperly installed flashing. He had an iPad and was showing me pictures he had taken of my roof. Since a house call was a minimum of $250 and the patch for the chimney flashing was such a small job he offered to patch other areas on the roof that could be a potential leak in the future such as exposed rusted nails on the shingles. He did the work and the leak was successfully fixed. I was impressed with the speed and professionalism displayed! read more

Mike was quick to call me back. He did the repairs that needed to be done and didn't try to sell me a new roof like all the storm chasers. I have been told by storm chasers (not Mike) that I had terrible hail damage and I needed a new roof. Mike didn't see any evidence of hail damage and said I had lots of life left in my roof and that I should get it checked every other year. Nice guy, prompt, and honest. I will use him again! read more

Wonderful people. Matt went above and beyond to solve our problem.

mike came out same day i spoke to him at builder supply and quoted less then a competitor and gave very useful tips for other issues. friendly and honest, sincere even. had a good rapport read more
