Renaissance Roofing

What Renaissance Roofing does

Renaissance Roofing, doing business as Renaissance Historic Exteriors, is a privately held specialty contractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Belvidere, Illinois, with a regional office in Fenton, Missouri (St. Louis). The company performs restoration of historically significant buildings, including courthouses, churches, universities, state capitols, museums, and private historic residences. Service lines cover historic roofing (slate, clay tile, metal), architectural sheet metal with an in-house copper fabrication studio, historic carpentry, historic masonry, gutters and downspouts, hail and storm damage restoration, and historic building consultations. The firm uses two proprietary methodologies, the Monarch Elite Process (a seven-step customer engagement workflow) and the Magellan Building Assessment (MBA) for property inspection. Renaissance holds the largest inventory of historical roofing materials in the United States and operates a related subsidiary, tileandslatesales.com, for buying and selling reclaimed and new-true historic roofing materials. The go-to-market is direct, project-based B2B and high-value residential work, with sales driven by phone hotlines (1-800-699-5695 and 815-547-1725), website inquiry forms, and industry reputation built over more than 30 years. Pricing is custom per project; no public pricing tiers exist. The company is owned and led by president Bob Raleigh and serves properties in at least nine U.S. states across the Midwest and Mountain West.

Emerging players

• Rutland Architectural Sheet Metal: Specialty architectural sheet metal fabricator serving historic and contemporary restoration projects. Directly comparable in copper and custom-fabrication capability for steeples, domes, cornices, and gutters on historic structures.
• Heritage Restoration: Multi-discipline historic restoration contractor offering masonry, roofing, carpentry, and sheet metal services for historic buildings. Closely comparable in the historic-craft service model and customer base (civic, religious, residential).
• W.F. Norman Corporation: Manufacturer of decorative architectural sheet metal products (cornices, moldings, panels) used in historic restoration. Comparable on custom metal capability and historic-construction customer base, though operating primarily as a manufacturer.

Direct peers

• The Durable Slate Company: Historic roofing specialist based in Ohio with similar focus on slate, tile, and copper restoration for historic civic and religious buildings. Directly comparable in materials, customer type (churches, universities, government), and craft-led service model.

Broad incumbents

• Nations Roof: Large national commercial roofing contractor serving retail, industrial, and institutional customers. Comparable on commercial/institutional roofing services but with a focus on scale and standardized systems rather than historic-craft restoration.
• Tecta America: National commercial roofing platform serving customers across multiple U.S. regions. Overlaps on commercial roofing scope, though Tecta focuses on standardized commercial systems rather than specialty historic restoration.
• CentiMark Corporation: Largest U.S. commercial roofing contractor serving commercial and institutional customers across the country. Overlaps on roofing services for institutional facilities (schools, government, warehouses) but operates at much broader scale and scope.
• Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance: National commercial roofing and building envelope solutions provider serving institutional, government, and commercial clients. Comparable in targeting commercial/institutional facilities but offers a much broader envelope of services and standardized systems.

Others

• Ludowici Roof Tile: Manufacturer of new clay roof tile — the same type of material Renaissance installs and restores on its projects. Acts as a key upstream supplier to Renaissance while serving historic and premium residential projects nationwide.

Regional players

• Bone Dry Roofing: Midwest-based residential and commercial roofing contractor with overlapping service territory (IL, IN, KY, OH, MI) and similar project mix, though operating across general roofing rather than historic-only niche.
