Why Rochester homeowners call Summit Roofing
Rochester is a 20-minute drive from our Springfield shop and one of the markets where we have the longest tenure. We’ve been the go-to roofer for several Rochester building maintenance contractors and property managers since 2008, and that means we’ve seen how every type of Rochester home and small commercial building behaves through storms and seasons.

What's specific about roofing in Rochester
Drive time
20 minutes from our shop. We schedule Rochester jobs in clusters when possible to keep travel costs down for clients.
Mix of housing
Rochester has a wider range than Chatham — some 1940s farmhouses with original cedar shake roofs, plus newer subdivision homes. The cedar shake conversions to architectural asphalt are some of our most rewarding projects.
Insurance carriers
We work with all major Illinois carriers and have specific experience with State Farm, Country Mutual, Allstate, and American Family — the four most common in Rochester.
Permits
Village of Rochester requires permits for replacement. We handle the application and inspection scheduling.
