What Shingle Company does

Shingle Company Construction, Inc., operating as The Shingle Company, is a privately-held, family-owned exterior construction contractor headquartered at 1408 Robinhood Lane, La Grange Park, Illinois. Founded in 2005 by third-generation contractor Mark Washburn, the company provides residential and commercial roofing, siding, window, gutter, and restoration services across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin within a roughly 100-mile radius of Chicago. The business operates two operating units: The Shingle Company for residential work and the wholly-owned subsidiary Legacy Roofing Contractors for commercial and industrial flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, spray foam, and metal). Service offerings span asphalt shingle, metal, tile, slate, and wood roofing systems; seamless and heated gutters with self-regulating heat cables; leaf-guard systems (Shur Flo, Leaf Helmet); siding in vinyl, fiber cement, and LP SmartSide; replacement windows from Lang Exterior and Marvin; and fire, water, and storm damage restoration with insurance claims assistance.

The company's revenue model is project-based and direct-to-consumer: customers initiate engagement via website booking calendar, phone, or contact form and receive quote-based estimates, with a small set of standardized prepay service tiers for repairs and inspections ($100–$575). Financing of up to $100,000 is facilitated through a referral partnership with Hearth to remove upfront-payment friction. Pricing is uniformly transactional — there are no disclosed recurring contracts or subscription revenue streams — and the customer base is split across residential homeowners (primary) and commercial/industrial property clients (primary), with insurance restoration as a secondary use-case segment. Distribution is direct; the company sends its own crews and does not use intermediaries beyond its financing partner.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored by 65+ years of family construction experience, a 20-year residential craftsmanship warranty, BBB accreditation, and a referral base described by the company as the majority of its work. Differentiation is positioned against transient storm chasers through local community presence, multi-generational ownership, and 30+ years of in-house insurance claims handling experience. The company holds Illinois Unlimited Roofing License #104-014987 and Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Certification #1456476. There are no funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, no institutional investors, and no parent company; ownership is concentrated in the Washburn family.
