Our family absolutely loves this company! When you read over this review you may pause and think that I'm a janitor at the company looking for browny points, but it's totally not the case. All of our request were done quickly and more than expected. The company performed just like the website suggested.

Second City has been my go to for many years and projects. Wrought Iron, not aluminum, fence was first. The latest being concrete in backyard and my new walk-in shower is simply awesome. If the quote sometimes seems a but higher than others, remember one gets what one pays for. The work and contractors are superb with great tips of info. Ed and Dennis are great to work with. Maggie is awesome and sets a great tone with her first-impression customer service skills. If work is required around your castle, call the best, Second City you will not regret it if the best is what you're seeking

We hired 2nd city for roof installation on our restaurant build-out. Our restaurant is built out of shipping containers and located on the Chicago Riverwalk. This site is difficult to access and 2nd city did a fantastic job with the roof work. Would highly recommend! Service: Roof installation

As a real estate investor They are the most unprofessional contractors I've dealt with, they don't answer calls /texts until few weeks later, they schedule appointments and then they cancel last minute, it was like if I was begging them, they were the ones that left marketing material at my door and I gave them a shot, do not use them

We hired Second City to replace the roof on our 6-unit condo building. They were amazing to work with. The price was incredibly fair, and they completed the work two days ahead of schedule. Our roof was in such bad shape. It was a game-changer getting a new roof done so quickly and professionally. I highly recommend them for your roofing needs!

Our condo association at 1532 N Claremont ave in Wicker Park voted to hire Second City Roofing & Exteriors to re-shingle and re-flash our buildings deteriorating roof. After reaching out to multiple contractors (some even a little less expensive) We decided to go with Second City simply due to the fact that they came off as EXTREMELY reliable, friendly, and guaranteed that the job would be done quickly and effectively. Ed Baker, the founder or Second City has a team of roofers that to be quite honest are the best in the business.

It's worth the small premium to know that your work is in good hands, and won't require any additional maintenance after the fact. After 3 quick days, we had a gorgeous new roof and could not be more satisfied with the job. Thanks So much Second City!

2nd City installed a new roof and gutters on my home in Highland Park. Excellent work at a fair price. Rode through the recent snow "avalanche" without a problem.

They redid the roof a few years ago and it was great. Recently we experienced a leak and Second City had someone at the house that evening to look at it. The next day they were on the roof making the repair. They even had someone come in to fix the water damage on the ceiling, and they did an excellent job. I could not be happier with this experience. Second City stands by their work, are helpful, and responsive. They do a fantastic job.

You overcharged my elderly mother. Your work was quick, shabby, and horrible. Your people skills are very racist and I'm following up with a call to the BBB.

BAD experience, called for an appointment for my parents and was told they did not need to be home. A representative showed up and did not state who or what company he was representing and just stated I'M THE ROOFER.

I really tried to give these guys another chance, but come to find out their marketing far outruns their actual capabilities. If you have a small job perhaps they might be a good fit, but for serious work, you'll want to look elsewhere to a serious contractor.

We recently had our roof redone by Second City. We cannot say enough good things about the owner, foreman and this company. They were professional and very polite. They're bid was competitive with other companies but what sold us was their promptness in communication during the bidding phase.
