Winter Work

Winter just might be the BEST time to have CRC Install Your Roof!

You Can Save Money! Take advantage of last year’s prices. We’ve stocked up on Cedar, Synthetics and Asphalt. And it looks like in 2017 prices are going nowhere but UP!

Your Landscaping is Protected! Most of your grass and outdoor plantings are laying fallow until spring. Your family is probably inside, where its warm. In winter the roofing process is less intrusive and less hassle for you.

You Can Have Your New Roof Quickly! Compared to Spring, Summer and Fall, when our work schedule is incredibly busy, Winter is relatively relaxed – weather permitting of course.

A new customer in Wheaton contacted us to check on the condition of their old cedar shake roof. After the inspection CRC’s team determined that replacement would be the best way to move forward. After looking at many samples and going over the benefits the customer decided that a synthetic roof would be the best option for them. Our crews installed a Brava Shake Roof in the color Lake Forest Gray. In addition to the roof replacement they added the accessories of oversized aluminum gutters and downspouts, as well as snow guards, copper standing seams and gutter guards. Our team and the homeowner was thrilled with how the house turned out and happy they will no longer need to worry about annual repairs and cleaning! Below see our before and after. Note from the homeowner: “Thanks for helping us pick out a great roofing product and the crew is doing a fantastic job on it!”
