TAR Roofing

What TAR Roofing does

TAR Roofing, Inc. is a privately held residential and condo roofing contractor founded in 2013 and headquartered at 3101 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, Illinois. The company installs and repairs GAF-certified asphalt shingle roofing systems for sloped roofs, modified bitumen flat roofing from GAF and CertainTeed for low-sloped applications, and offers a specialized rooftop deck detach-and-reattach workflow that allows deck repairs to be bundled into roof replacement projects. Beyond roofing, TAR Roofing provides vinyl siding installation and repair, seamless aluminum gutter installation, and operates under an alternate DBA, TAR Restoration, to serve adjacent home exterior demand.

The company's customer base consists of single-family homeowners and condo associations across the City of Chicago and a defined set of northwest suburbs including Oak Park, Evanston, River Forest, Glenview, Winnetka, Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Rosemont, Prospect, and Arlington Heights. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: customers initiate via phone, website quote form, or referral, receive a free on-site roof inspection, and are sent estimates and contracts electronically within two business days. Each project is assigned a project manager and the company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

TAR Roofing is licensed and insured, generates revenue through one-time project-based contracts for repair and replacement work (with pricing quoted per scope rather than publicly disclosed), and does not disclose revenue. The firm is founder-owned with no parent company, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public listing, and reports between 11 and 50 employees.
