Locally owned & operated. We are a local siding & roofing company that will never sell you something we do not know how to do. As the owner I personally visit every job on a daily basis to inspect the work as it is performed and also will work side by side with my employees several days a week to help complete the job on time. We take pride in our work, the products we offer, and sticking to schedules. We are licensed in illinois to install roofs. We are also a certified contractor through iko shingles. We use all needed accesories to insure that we can offer a lifetime shingle gurantee. Award winning. We can also make dealing with storm damage as easy as picking out colors for your home.

"Martin wrote up our quotes on the spot and explained each line item. Really appreciated that he doesn’t just quote the jobs, he works them with his crew as well. He designed the job to best serve our needs, which included eliminating our old vents and installing a more efficient ridge vent system. He kept me informed as to timeline and, once on the job, the guys were efficient, took care to protect our property, and did a phenomenal job on the roofs. There was one small issue on a drip guard, and they came back and re-did it to make sure that we were 100% happy with the job - and we are. The roofs look fabulous and I would recommend DT to anyone (and already have)!"

"After a severe hail storm and microburst that hit our neighborhood in July 2017, we had several storm restoration companies coming to the door offering their services. After reviewing several other companies, I decided on Croixco and it was the best decision I could have made. I cannot say enough great things about the entire Croixco team - Bart, Darren, Rich, Wojo (and Martha who remains in the background coordinating things for the rest of team). They are professional, knowledgeable, hard working and responsive. They use premium materials and the quality of their workmanship is excellent, no short cuts are taken. I warned them upfront that I was a perfectionist and also had several special requests. Bart said they welcomed the challenge. Well, all I can say is that they delivered on their promise of Customer Satisfaction and they not only met but exceeded my expectations. Every interaction I had with them (be it text, phone, email or face-to-face) brought value to the process. I was out of the country on business for a month when the storm hit and was trying to coordinate with my insurance company long distance and with a 13-hour time difference it was a challenge. For the first adjuster visit, I asked my neighbor who he was using and called that same company up and asked them to meet with the adjuster on my behalf since I was in Asia. They showed up and walked through the damage with my insurance adjuster and then advised me that they were able to get $17,000 approved for my damages. I thought that sounded pretty good. When I returned from Asia, the restoration company wanted me to sign a contract but after doing my research, I found negative comments, so after further review of several other contractors, I went with Croixco. After the first meeting with Rich, I felt confident that they were the right company and then I received an email from the owner (Bart), thanking me for my business and for placing my trust in his company to do the work. He went on to explain they would do everything possible to help ease the complex process of dealing with the insurance claim paperwork. Darren took over the handling of the insurance claim immediately. He noted that the initial approved claim amount of $17K in no way covered all the damage my home had incurred. It took a couple months and 4 different claims adjusters before it was finally settled and the work could begin, but it was well worth the wait because Croixco was able to get our claim approved for $52,000 ! A big difference from the original $17,000. I basically have a brand new exterior for my home and I could not have obtained that without Croixco (especially Darren). There were so many little things they did that were above and beyond. It demonstrated that they care for their Customers. While it is hard to list them all, I will touch on just a few - They worked around my schedule. While I didn't have to be home when they did the work, I wanted to be present and I travel often for work so they accommodated my work schedule. - My insurance company would only approve siding replacement on the back side of my home but my siding was discontinued in 2009 and the closest replacement "match" that the Insurance company recommended had a 1/8" difference in profile. Croixco helped me to resolve that issue. - I had chosen a color and style of siding and then about 10 days before the work was to start, I asked if I could change the style from 4" traditional to 5" traditional - they said no problem because they wanted me to be happy with my choice. - I had selected and signed off on "musket brown" for all the metal on my home (wrap, gutters, etc) and then Darren stopped by my home one evening to recommend another color (bronze) that he thought I might like better because it was a better match to my new windows and a good contrast for my siding color. He didn't have to take that extra step because I had signed off on musket brown and would have never been the wiser about another option. But he was right and I changed the color. - When Wojo wrapped all my windows w/ aluminum trim, he offered me two different style options (same style as I had previously or the "Croixco way") and said he would do which ever I preferred but then went on to explain why the Croixco way was better. I went with his recommendation because it was clearly the better choice. - Based on my last window replacement project 25+ years ago, I was dreading the extra work of taking down all my custom drapery and blinds on 12 window openings and dealing with the clean up of drywall dust. To my pleasant surprise, they said I didn't need to take down my drapes/blinds. If it was needed, they would take care of it and they did!! They took them down, carefully placed them out of the way, and then reinstalled them afterwards. They didn't have to remove any of my interior wood window casings and when they were done, they picked up their drop cloths and vacuumed the floor/carpet. - They installed new outside lights on my garage that had been damaged in the storm. I had selected the light fixtures but the base of the new fixtures was smaller than the old lights leaving a gap big enough between the brick and the light base that I could put my finger into it. I came up with an idea and presented it to Wojo. He agreed and said, let's give it a try. He cut and painted the cover plates I purchased and installed them between the brick and the light base. The lights look beautiful now. So to recap, if you are looking for a professional contractor that you can trust to do the job right the first time and deliver quality workmanship, then you will not be disappointed if you choose Croixco Construction"

Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and ensuring that downspouts direct water away from the foundation help prolong gutter life.

Yes. Excessive pitch in gutters can cause water to flow too rapidly, leading to a decrease in the gutter's water-holding capacity; consequently, during heavy rainstorms, water may awkwardly splash outside the gutters. Ideally, you should aim for a quarter-inch of gutter slope for every 10 feet of gutter run. However, it's important to note that this guideline may vary depending on your home's structure and the type of gutters being installed.

For homeowners who do not opt for gutter guards, the most common alternative is annual or biannual gutter cleaning. There are other products on the market designed to cut down on gutter cleanings, such as whole gutter systems like LeafGuard (which offers both gutter and guard in a single product) and guards and inserts designed to protect your downspouts.

On average, gutters need to be replaced every 20 years. Unprotected gutters in more extreme weather conditions are more prone to breaking and may need to be replaced sooner. Meanwhile, proper maintenance can extend your gutter’s life span even further. That said, proper installation, gutter hangers to provide additional support, and gutter guards or helmets all play an important role in how long your gutters last.

Icicles can form if your gutters are clogged, but that’s not always the issue. You could also have an ice dam on your roof from poor insulation inside. In that case, the melting snow can refreeze in the gutter even if there isn’t a clog. If you’re unsure of the underlying problem, call in a roofing company to assess the issue and implement a permanent solution for you.
