Testimonials From Our Satisfied Customers
Posted on kord'l mitchellJanuary 22, 2026 Ive done a lot of work with Roof Panther and his guys. Theyre always very prompt and commited to quality. I had them recently install a roof and gutters for me and I couldnt be more pleased with the result. The whole job was completed within 2 days and it wouldve been 1 day if they didnt have to come back to do the gutters the following day. I was given well over a dozen update pictures throughout the process. The various problems with the roof were found, shown to me via images, and then repaired with images of the repairs. There was ZERO garbage in the yard and you could never tell they were there after the fact with how clean the yard was aside from the new roof! Pedro the owner was very easy to contact when I had questions or updates the whole time. He is also well versed and knowledgable and gave excellent recomendations on gutter gaurds and the venting. And finally all of the material they used came with an excellent warranty. I cant recomend Roof Panther enough, the price was very reasonable, theyre all great guys, and they work their butts off!Posted on Paul RajlichJanuary 14, 2026 Excellent experience with Pedro and his team. We did a total makeover of the house exterior (roof, siding, windows) and raised the living room ceiling! It was a complicated project but the results exceeded our expectations. Pedro is excellent with communication and suggests ideas/changes which is key in a project like this. The crew is hard working and polite. Our house is in Saint Joseph in Champaign county and the crew is always nearby so scheduling is simple.Posted on Glen WhitmerDecember 7, 2025 Pedro and his team built us a stunning screen porch that far exceeded our expectations. We wanted to add a screen porch to our new (older) home based on a design from our former home. Pedro provided suggestions and ideas that transformed our vision. From design enhancements, lighting, stain combinations to those all important details, we were so impressed with the result. Most importantly, Pedro modified the original plans so the porch had it's own foundation rather than being supported by our older home, thus avoiding a future compromise of our home's foundation. We are grateful to Pedro and his team for their suggestions and expert workmanship. We highly recommend Roof Panther.Posted on Jim BaltzSeptember 24, 2025 Exceptional Work and Outstanding Customer Service - Highly Recommended! I recently completed a major home improvement project with Roof Panther, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. What started as siding replacement and a single-story covered deck project evolved into something even better - a beautiful two-story deck that transformed our home. The team at Roof Panther went above and beyond by replacing a second-story window so we could have direct access to the upper deck level. Their pricing for this two-story covered deck was competitive with other estimates we received for just a single-story version, which made the upgrade an easy decision. What truly impressed me was how professionally they handled unexpected issues that arose during the project. When they discovered the walls in our one-story section had no insulation, and later found rotted window framing during the window replacement, Roof Panther worked with us to address these problems fairly and transparently. They didn't try to overcharge or take advantage of the situation - instead, they provided reasonable solutions that fixed the underlying issues properly. The entire crew was fantastic to work with. Every team member was professional, courteous, and respectful of our property. Their communication throughout the project was excellent, and they kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the transformation of our home is remarkable. I will definitely be using Roof Panther for future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, honest contractors who deliver exceptional results. It's rare to find a company that combines quality work with such integrity and customer service.Posted on Marcus WenzelSeptember 11, 2025 Pedro and his team are amazing. They have now rescued my family twice. First, with a recently widowed sister stuck in a wheelchair in a unfinished house with a failing roof and moldy subfloor. Its gorgeous now. Today, he and his team finished replacing the old rotted dangerous, 45 year-old wooden deck on my elderly parents' house in what can charitably be best described as an emergency situation. They finished in 6 days from our initial cry for help (and only 3 days on site!)...and their workmanship is top notch. You could park your truck on it. They even painted the railing to match the cheap, wobbly, plastic one my mom remembered. It was an unbelievable transformation in an incredibly short amount of time. Pedro and his crew are kind, efficient, and professional...and brings peace of mind. I cannot say enough good things about Roof Panther.Posted on Cathy GraverAugust 9, 2025 We called the Roof Panther to get a quote for siding, facia and soffit, as it turns out, Pedro noticed some telltale signs and asked if he could inspect the roof because of suspected damage from hail. We had no idea we had damage. We'd had 2 other companies come out for estimates, and neither of them noticed those signs of damage. The crew did a great job, they were timely, knowledgeable, and thorough. I highly recommend Roof Panther.Posted on AnnahJuly 23, 2025 They were very responsive and pleasant to work with. They identified the source of the leak very fast. Would highly recommend!

What roofing materials do you specialize in?
We specialize in the two most popular and effective roofing materials for homes in Central Illinois: high-quality asphalt shingles and durable metal roofing. We understand that choosing the right material is a critical decision that balances aesthetics, budget, and long-term performance. To help you make an informed choice, we provide a clear comparison of these two excellent options.
What are the benefits of using Owens Corning shingles for my home?
- Superior Wind Resistance: Many Owens Corning shingles, such as those in the Duration® Series, feature patented SureNail® Technology. This innovative fabric strip in the nailing area provides outstanding grip and resistance to wind uplift—a crucial feature during Central Illinois storms.
- Algae Resistance: We offer shingles with StreakGuard® Algae Protection, which uses copper-lined granules to help inhibit the growth of the blue-green algae that causes unsightly black streaks on roofs. This keeps your roof looking beautiful for years and protects your home's curb appeal.
- Exceptional Aesthetics: Owens Corning is a leader in color and design, offering a vast palette of shingle colors and dimensional styles that can dramatically enhance your home's appearance.
- Manufacturer Trust: Partnering with a Fortune 500® company like Owens Corning means your roofing materials are backed by a global leader in the industry, providing an extra layer of confidence and access to robust material warranties.
What is your step-by-step process for a full roof replacement?
- Initial Consultation & Free Estimate: It all begins when you contact us. We will schedule a convenient time to visit your home, perform a thorough inspection of your current roof, discuss your needs and material options, and provide a detailed, no-obligation written estimate.
- Material Selection & Scheduling: Once you approve the estimate, we will help you finalize your shingle or metal roofing selection. We then schedule your project at a time that works for you, keeping you informed every step of the way.
- Pre-Installation Property Prep: Before our crew arrives, we take meticulous care to prepare your property. This includes protecting landscaping, siding, and A/C units with tarps and moving any vulnerable items away from the work zone.
- Tear-Off & Deck Inspection: We begin by carefully removing all old roofing materials down to the structural deck. This allows us to perform a critical inspection of the wood decking, making any necessary repairs to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.
- Installation of the Roofing System: Our expert, insured employees then install your complete roofing system. This includes premium underlayment for water resistance, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and the precise installation of your new shingles or metal panels according to manufacturer specifications.
- Meticulous Site Cleanup: Throughout the project and upon completion, we maintain a clean and safe work site. Our cleanup process is famously thorough; we haul away all debris and perform a magnetic sweep of your lawn, driveway, and garden beds to find and remove stray nails.
- Final Inspection & Walkthrough: After the installation is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure every detail meets our high standards of quality. We will then walk you through the finished project, answer any questions you have, and ensure your complete satisfaction.
- Warranty & Final Paperwork: We provide you with all the necessary documentation for your workmanship and manufacturer warranties, giving you lasting peace of mind in your investment.
How do you protect my property (landscaping, siding, etc.) during a roofing project?
We treat your home as if it were our own. Protecting your property is a top priority for our team. Before any work begins, we implement a comprehensive protection plan that includes laying heavy-duty tarps over landscaping, flower beds, and along the sides of your house to shield siding and windows from falling debris. We also cover or move patio furniture, grills, and air conditioning units. Our dumpster placement is strategic to minimize impact on your driveway and lawn. This careful preparation ensures that the only thing we leave behind is a beautiful new roof.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
The duration of a roof replacement can vary based on the size and complexity of the roof, the type of materials being installed, and weather conditions. However, for most average-sized single-family homes in the Champaign area, our efficient crew can complete the entire physical roof replacement, from tear-off to final cleanup, in just 1 to 3 days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but we will always provide you with a clear and realistic timeline before we begin.
Do you help with storm damage and insurance claims?
- Emergency Tarping: We provide a rapid response to secure your roof with tarps, preventing further water damage to your home's interior after a storm.
- Professional Damage Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify and document all evidence of hail and wind damage, which may not be obvious to an untrained eye.
- Working with Your Adjuster: We provide all necessary documentation for your claim and can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to walk them through our findings, ensuring all damages are properly assessed and accounted for.
What kind of warranties do you offer on your roofing work and materials?
- Manufacturer's Material Warranty: As an installer of premium Owens Corning products, your new shingles are covered by an excellent manufacturer's warranty. These warranties protect against defects in the materials themselves and can last for decades, depending on the product you choose.
- Workmanship Warranty: Roof Panther provides our own workmanship warranty on every roof we install. This warranty covers the quality of our installation and protects you against issues arising from improper installation techniques.
