What Buffalo Roofing & Exteriors does

Buffalo Roofing & Exteriors is a privately held, family-owned exterior renovation company headquartered in Oswego, Illinois, founded and co-owned by Jeff Maxick and Scott Gross. The company provides residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutter, window, and skylight services across more than 25 cities and towns in Chicago's Western Suburbs, including Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, and Plainfield.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model with field representatives conducting on-site storm damage inspections, meeting with insurance adjusters, and generating quote-based projects. It installs products from tier-one manufacturers including Atlas Roofing (Pinnacle Pristine and StormMaster Shake shingles), GAF, Brava (synthetic cedar shake and slate), CertainTeed, James Hardie, LP SmartSide, Pella Windows, Alliance Window Systems, and VELUX skylights. Roofing services span asphalt shingles, metal roofing, flat roof systems (TPO, EPDM, thermoplastic, torch-down), and commercial applications. The company maintains a 10-year workmanship warranty on new roofing and gutter work plus a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Buffalo Roofing & Exteriors generates revenue through quote-based project pricing with free estimates and offers customer financing via Acorn Finance. Marketing is multi-channel and locally focused: Google Business Profile (89+ verified 5-star reviews), BBB A+ accreditation, Angi Super Service Award (2022), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Ads remarketing, and neighborhood word-of-mouth. The named team includes approximately 10 professionals—two co-founders, a production manager with 40+ years of construction experience, two public adjusters, four field representatives, and general contractors—and the company is actively hiring experienced roofing salespeople to support growth.

Direct peers

• Feldco: Chicago-area home exterior remodeler offering windows, siding, and roofing with a similar suburban Midwest footprint and sales-led door-to-door model. Directly comparable to Buffalo in customer segment (suburban homeowners), service bundle (windows/siding/roofing), and geographic concentration in Illinois/Indiana/Wisconsin.
• Bone Dry Roofing: Midwest-based residential and commercial roofing franchise with strong presence in the Chicagoland area. Directly comparable service mix (roofing, gutters, siding, insulation) and similar insurance claim assistance model, competing for the same Chicago Western Suburbs homeowners.
• Storm Guard Roofing and Construction: National franchise specializing in storm damage restoration and insurance claim assistance for roofing, siding, and windows. Closest direct competitor on Buffalo's core differentiator (public-adjuster-style claims navigation) and product/service bundle.
• Opal Enterprises: Naperville, IL-based exterior renovation contractor offering roofing, siding, windows, and gutters to Chicago Western Suburb homeowners. Same geographic market, same horizontal residential service bundle, and similar mid-market positioning — a direct local competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Power Home Remodeling: Largest direct-to-homeowner exterior remodeler in the U.S., offering roofing, siding, windows, and doors with a heavy door-to-door sales model. Competes with Buffalo for suburban storm and replacement demand but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Erie Home: National roofing, windows, and siding contractor with metal roofing focus and broad Midwest presence. Comparable service categories and direct-to-homeowner sales motion, but Erie operates at materially larger scale and broader geographic reach than Buffalo.
• Leaf Home: National exterior home solutions company offering gutter protection, roofing, and windows via direct sales. Overlaps with Buffalo's gutter and roofing offerings, particularly in storm-driven markets, and represents a well-capitalized competitor in the Chicago area.
• Roofing Corp of America: PE-backed national roofing consolidator actively acquiring regional residential and commercial roofing companies. Represents both a competitive threat and a credible exit/acquisition path for Buffalo given its profile as a regional operator with storm restoration expertise.
• Mr. Roof: National residential roofing brand serving U.S. homeowners with roof replacement, repair, and related exterior services. Comparable service scope and customer segment, though at much larger geographic and marketing scale than Buffalo.

Emerging players

• Home Genius Exteriors: Growing exterior remodeler offering roofing, siding, and windows with a sales-led motion in Midwest and Eastern U.S. markets. Similar product mix and customer profile to Buffalo, but operating as a multi-region consolidator rather than a single-market specialist.
