Baney Construction & Restoration, Inc
  • Does Baney Construction & Restoration, Inc offer free roof inspections in Illinois and Wisconsin?

  • Can Baney Construction & Restoration help with my homeowners insurance claim after hail or wind damage?

    Yes. Baney Construction & Restoration focuses on storm damage restoration and insurance claim assistance. We examine the roof, capture photographs of hail impacts and wind damage, coordinate with your adjuster as required, and clarify what your policy generally covers—frequently a complete roof, gutters, and associated exterior repairs. Our objective is to facilitate a more efficient claim process from initial inspection through final settlement, ensuring you do not face supplemental negotiations without support. Storm damage does not automatically result in a claim denial; thorough documentation is critical.
  • What roofing services does Baney Construction & Restoration provide?

    Baney Construction & Restoration is a residential and commercial roofing contractor providing: roof repair for leaks, missing shingles, and flashing; complete roof replacement and tear-off; hail and wind storm damage repair; architectural and designer asphalt shingles; metal roofing, including standing seam; tile, synthetic slate, and synthetic shake products; commercial systems including TPO, PVC, EPDM, BUR, coatings, and flat roofs. As a GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Platinum certified contractor, Baney Construction & Restoration is able to extend enhanced manufacturer warranties compared to many competing roofing contractors.
  • How long has Baney Construction & Restoration been in business?

    Baney Construction & Restoration was established in 1971 by Carl Baney and continues as a family-owned operation. For over 50 years the firm has provided roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and storm restoration services to Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and additional Midwest regions. This established history is why many homeowners seek a contractor with the stability to address warranty concerns years into the future.
  • Do you replace gutters and siding at the same time as a new roof?

    Yes. Many storm-related claims and home improvement projects extend beyond shingles alone. Baney Construction & Restoration handles installation and repair of gutters, downspouts, gutter guards, siding, window wraps, and exterior trim, allowing a single crew to manage the complete building envelope. Installing new gutters alongside a roof replacement helps avoid fascia deterioration and foundation concerns. During your complimentary inspection, inquire whether insurance may extend coverage to siding or gutter replacement following hail damage.
  • Is Baney Construction & Restoration licensed and insured?

    Yes. Baney Construction & Restoration maintains proper licensing and insurance, including: Illinois license #104016151 and Wisconsin license #1229454. The Rockton, IL office also holds BBB Accreditation with an A+ rating through the Better Business Bureau. It is advisable to confirm current licensing and insurance prior to signing any roofing contract—Baney Construction & Restoration makes these credentials available because homeowners in Rockford, Rockton, Belvidere, Beloit, and surrounding communities request them routinely.
  • How much does a new roof cost, and do you offer financing?

    New roof cost varies based on square footage, roof pitch, material selection (architectural shingles versus metal), number of tear-off layers, and whether the work is storm-related or retail. Following a complimentary inspection, Baney Construction & Restoration delivers a detailed written scope to enable accurate comparisons. When damage results from storms, insurance may pay for most or all approved work, less your deductible. Baney Construction & Restoration provides financing solutions for upgrades, out-of-pocket expenses, and non-insurance jobs, ensuring a deteriorating roof does not go unaddressed.
  • How fast can Baney Construction & Restoration respond after a hail storm in the Rockford area?

    Baney Construction & Restoration deploys a storm response team for hail, wind, tornado, and related incidents. Following a regional storm, priority focuses on a secure, well-documented inspection, temporary weatherproofing if leaking occurs, and then a scheduled replacement once materials and the claim are prepared. Many homeowners select Baney Construction & Restoration because an assigned project manager—rather than rotating sales representatives—guides them from initial contact to final site cleanup. For urgent leaks following severe weather, call 1-815-623-3644 once conditions are safe.
  • Does Baney Construction & Restoration do commercial roofing as well as homes?

    Yes. Baney Construction & Restoration performs commercial roofing throughout the Midwest, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, and other markets, with expertise in flat and low-slope systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, built-up roofing, metal, and coatings. Property managers rely on Baney Construction & Restoration for leak repairs, full replacements, and insurance restoration following hail events. The project-management methodology applied to residential properties extends to commercial buildings: inspection, detailed scope, insurance coordination when applicable, and installation by qualified crews.
  • Why choose Baney Construction & Restoration instead of another Rockford roofing company?

    Homeowners generally select Baney Construction & Restoration for four key reasons: comprehensive insurance storm services from inspection through claim resolution; certified materials and warranties as a GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Platinum contractor; a single contractor for the complete exterior including roof, gutters, siding, windows, and solar; and family ownership since 1971 with licensed teams in Illinois and Wisconsin. Customer feedback frequently highlights the value of a designated project manager, meticulous site maintenance, and a completed roof that delivers both aesthetic appeal and performance. Request a complimentary inspection and review the written scope before selecting any contractor after a storm.
