Trela Roofing & Remodeling Company

What Trela Roofing & Remodeling Company does

Trela Roofing & Remodeling Company is a privately held, family-owned exterior home improvement contractor headquartered at 3148 West 92nd Street, Evergreen Park, Illinois. Founded in April 1952 by Anthony and Ruby Trela after Anthony's return from World War II, the company has operated continuously for over 70 years with three generations of the Trela family involved in the business. The firm serves residential homeowners across the Chicagoland area and south suburbs, with no enterprise or B2B customers disclosed in the source material.

The company's core product is its Premium and Standard Roofing Systems, installed by W-2 employees (paid hourly or salaried, not piece-rate) using hand-nailing techniques rather than nail guns. All installers must pass stringent certification tests administered by roofing manufacturers. Beyond roofing, the company offers a broad complementary portfolio: exterior siding (Certainteed and James Hardie), energy-efficient windows, ProVia entry and storm doors, patio doors, exterior shutters, attic ventilation, soffits and fascia, insulation (spray foam and fiberglass), gutter installation with Rhino Good gutter guards, VELUX skylights and roof windows, VELUX solar water heating systems, and specialist turret and cone roofing. Partnerships with VELUX (5-Star Installer), ProVia, Certainteed, James Hardie, and Rhino Good underpin the product breadth.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and project-based. Customers initiate contact by phone for free estimates, with 24/7 emergency service availability. Pricing is quote-based per project and is not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is overwhelmingly driven by word-of-mouth referrals earned over 66 years of local reputation, supplemented by a basic website presence. There are no e-commerce channels, no public pricing, and no disclosed digital marketing spend. The company carries no patents, no registered trademarks, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and has no funding rounds or external investors on record.
