NIR Roof Care

What NIR Roof Care does

NIR Roof Care, Inc. is a privately held, founder- and family-owned commercial roofing maintenance company headquartered in Huntley, Illinois, founded in 1980 by Timothy K. Lynn as the Northern Illinois Roofing Company. The company pivoted early from a reactive 'Break, Fix, Replace' roofing model to a proactive preventative-maintenance franchise built around the NIR Roof Care Plan®, an annual service level agreement that delivers scheduled 27-point inspections by a Certified Roof Care Specialist permanently assigned to each client building, on-site minor repairs, before-and-after photo documentation, roof health scoring, and multi-year budget forecasting. NIR covers nearly 50M sq ft under management (with one source citing 97M sq ft under active Roof Care Plan coverage), generates roughly 4,000 inspections year-to-date, and reports 100% average roof-life extension and 50% reduction in annual leak calls for plan members.

The supporting technology stack includes a proprietary NIR Roof Management System®, a Satellite Imaging System (SIS) for measurement-based quoting, and Thermal Infrared imaging for non-destructive leak detection; the firm also operates NIR University® as an internal certification pipeline for field specialists and sales advisors. Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring subscription SLAs (Roof Care Plan), one-time professional services (Emergency Services 24/7/365 and Roof Improvement projects such as coatings), and episodic Roof Replacement work (typically bundled with a first-year free Roof Care Plan). The go-to-market combines a regional field-sales force (Certified Roof Care Specialists and Certified Roof Management Advisors), an inside-sales Brand Advisor team for lead generation, a self-serve website quote request flow, and a 24/7 emergency phone line (1-800-221-ROOF), with a customer base concentrated in property management, industrial/manufacturing, healthcare, education, and municipal facilities across Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Northwestern Indiana.
