Highly recommend their service. Works with you from first inquiry to complete satisfaction with the finish. A no stress experience.

Had them put new roof, soffit, fascia, gutters and downspouts. downspouts were large 3x5 and I will say all work was terrific. Looks great and couldn’t be happier Everything looks great and quality is superb. Brian was very thorough and his crew was above par. I would recommend them to anyone

Exterior home remodel, all but roof. Brian is very easy to work with, responds timely, communication is very good, price is good and he’s just a nice guy. Brian was pretty much on track with anticipated start time. The crew was large for siding, windows, soffit, etc - they were done in 2 days. Gutters and downspout done shortly after, also great crew. Any problems (minor) were addressed promptly by Brian.

I called Advocate out to reroof my back porch, which was a small job. He gave me a quote of $2,700 which covered materials and flashing the facia etc. and let me know they would need to replace some of the plywood and that would be an additional $55 a sheet, so I did expect some overage. The roofers showed up on 5/2 and roofed the house. But didn’t complete the job (soffit and facia) and left scraps and sheet metal all over the yard and had obviously not run a magnet around the yard because I picked up a ton of nails, debris etc in the yard. I let Brian know on 5/5 and didn’t hear back, I contacted him again on 5/8 and was told Jose would show up on 5/10 to complete the facia. Jose was a no call no show. I had to reach out to Brian again to get the job done and they sent a couple guys out to finish the job on 5/12 but unfortunately they didn’t speak English and I don’t speak Spanish and they didn’t know what they were supposed to do so they left. Again, I had to contact Brian to reschedule. 5/24 they showed up and “completed” the job. Upon inspection of their work I found for the soffit, they went over the rotten wood which should have been removed, used white caulk on brown flashing, still hadn’t completed the flashing on the left side of the roof, didn’t secure some flashing, and again left debris all over the yard. So I called Brian again to let him know my findings and in the meantime he sent me a bill that was 57% higher ($4,250) than his original bid! He stopped by 5/26, for which I had to take a day off work to make sure he understood my concerns. The crew came back later that day to finish and rework the soffit and left. Upon inspection I still found some rotten wood where it should have been removed and again debris was everywhere. I talked to Brian again and let him know I was less than satisfied with the job and let him know I’d be leaving a review online to which I just an apology without an attempt to make it right. It’a very apparent him and the crew don’t have pride in their work or care about their customers. I paid him and I can say the only thing he did efficiently was cash my check. If you want a sub standard job and some apologies Brian is your man - otherwise go somewhere else.

Brian and his team were outstanding to work with! In and out in a day and cleaned up very well afterwards.

We loved working with Brian. From start to finish our roof turned out amazing. He was the only company who came to physically talk to us about our roof quote and had more than one option to choose from. My husband and I appreciated that so much we hired Advocate to replace our roof. They did a professional job and we will be using them again.

Great people to work with, quality of work performed and clean were amazing! Would definitely recommend! Got multiple quotes and they were very competitive, should a
Need arise in the future I will be calling Advocate.

Brian at Advocate is very personable and easy to work with. The cost of the roof was very competitive and a lot of budget friendly options to choose from. The work was completed in 1 day and looks amazing!!

It was a small job. Brian quoted me the most competitive price from the 3 quotes I got. The job was done in a very professional manner. The replaced missing metal facia perfectly match the existing facia. There was no evidence his crew was on my property doing roof repairs. Cleanup was very important to me. I strongly recommend you give this company strong consideration in your needed siding and roof repairs.

Very happy with our siding and gutters! A company with great work ethic and a passion for taking care of their customer. Respectful of property and cleaned up work space as they moved through the project. Great pricing! Would highly recommend Brian and his company!

We were very happy with Brian and his crew. We have used him in the past and referred him to family and friends. They did an excellent job and we will not hesitate to use him again.

Brian and his crew did an excellent job last fall changing a screened-in porch into a three-season sunroom with casement windows, LP Smartside lap siding and stained-pine tongue and groove ceiling. They also installed LP trim and cedar siding around new windows (by others), installed new aluminum vented soffits, fascia and gutters (entire house), installed shake siding above the garage and replaced the roof. Brian was very helpful in helping us with our design and was responsive to any concerns we had. He also suggested ways we could save money which was helpful. Brian’s quote was easy to understand in that it offered a detailed breakdown of the costs for each aspect of the project.

Brian from Lake Geneva did an outstanding job on my elderly parents' house. He was honest, professional, and meticulous with his work. The entire process was smooth from start to finish—Brian and his team were reliable, cleaned up thoroughly after each day, and delivered exceptional quality at a fair price. It’s hard to find contractors who genuinely care about their work and their customers, but Brian exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of roofing services!

Great job fixing my leaking fireplace chimney and roof. The workers were professional and completed in one day. I have not had any water issues since they fixed that section of my roof. I highly recommend them.

Great experience and beautiful finished product! We are extremely pleased with Advocate Contracting on our new siding job. Brian was extremely professional, knowledgeable and reliable! His crew was one of the hardest working teams we have experienced. We highly recommend Advocate Contracting for siding and other home renovations - we will be using them again!

They were professional, timely, took care to protect our landscaping and hard scaping. On top of it all, they are reasonably priced.

I highly recommend you use them for roofing or siding!

Brian and his company have been doing work for me and my clients for quite a few years. The main descriptors I would use are friendly and knowledgeable. I will continue to refer family, friends and clients!! Keep up the good work!

Brian was on top of everything. He was very honest and trustworthy, showed me the other companies were trying to rip me off. Did excellent work in a very timely manner. This was my second big job with him, and he'll be my first and only call next time.

Peter Shedivy

got me a new roof. new roof fans to replace the existing. didnt hook up the existing fans but left them dangling with hot wires. You stated they would be hooked up before and after the sale, and before you left I asked if they were hooked up and you stated yes.You have not returned my calls or texts so your response is complete bogus.I do not recommend this business.

What's unexpected is they were able to remove the existing roof fans which worked fine, requiring electrical work to remove, sold me two new ones and claims they weren't installed and left live hot wires hanging because they aren't a licensed electrical. way to build trust!

Mark Hinterlong

Working with Brian was great. He was professional and patient with us. The crew did great work and did a great clean up.

Brian/Advocate was a pleasure to do business with!
Courteous, on time and professional. He gave a personal
analysis of my roof along with options to repair or replace.
The job was scheduled and completed on time and looks great!

Highly recommend.

Brian and his team were quick to respond after some of my shingles were ripped off in a storm. Upon investigating, our roof was covered by insurance. He worked with the insurance company to replace the roof. The work was done professionally and in a timely manner.

Laura Hachmeister

I would highly recommend Advocate Contracting! We hired them to reside our home - we chose stone for the front and vinyl siding for the rest. Not only were they the best price of all our estimates they were quick and efficient in their work. We had a few things along the way that needed to be addressed and Brian made sure everything was completed to our standard. Brian and his team are very professional and easy to work with. Having known nothing about siding details, Brian walked us through every decision to make sure it was all we expected.

Monica Quinn
Jan 3, 2023

Great people working for this great company! Very friendly but professional and offered options and details about all the differences in roof types. We also needed a substantial amount of work done to remove some stone chimneys and they were able to get us help for that and still got those removed and roof done in one day! Also removed all materials and trash from old tiles in the same day. Still LOVE our roof and color we chose!

Brian,
You were great to work with. Returned all my calls and your men were always on time. Cleaned up all the mess. Thank you again for a great job.

Just thought I would mention, George passed away last June 20th. I sold the house. I bought a condo in Bloomingdale. IL . I Just moved in, 6 days ago. A real adjustment from my house in WI.
I wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year.

I have a fairly difficult 4 gable 12-12 pitch roof. If you don't know what that means it is a very steep roof. I had 2 layers of old roof removed and new installed. All the work was done without damage and clean up was excellent. I used to build houses as a general contractor and have a fair amount of experience with roofs. I know people who have done as good a job but none any
better. I strongly recommend Advocate Contracting

Great to work with! Gave us more options than other companies and took the time to explain the details. Communication was spot on the entire time. The guys that came and did the roof were very friendly and did a fantastic clean up and I was surprised how few of my plants were broken. Highly recommend

Brian was great to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly friendly and reliable. He always got back to us right away when we had questions. His crew was awesome! They showed up early, stayed late and never stopped working. The price we were quoted also came in much cheaper than the 3 other quotes we received from other contractors. I would highly recommend Advocate for a roofing job and we also hope to work with Brian again in the future when we are ready for new siding.

Brian was great to work with. He handled everything with the insurance company. Answered all of our questions. Love my new roof.

Brian Scott, the owner of Advocate, is great - as SO easy to work with! He responded within a day to my initial inquiry and arranged to meet at my home for consultation and showing samples. A very reasonable estimate followed and I offered for him to do my mom's home as well in Northern IL. Both houses received an extra good discount! The big crews that Brian has are amazing! Both old roofs (my home and my mother's - on separate days) were completely removed within hours and a new roof was installed by late afternoon. Of course, they did a great clean up job, afterward, as well. Thanks, Brian! Both roofs look great!

Brian and his crew were exceptional in reroofing, with a complete tear-off of my old shingles. The work they performed exceeded what I had anticipated! Brian Scott and crew, thank you for restoring my confidence in Contractors, the pleasure of doing business with you(Advocate) was definitely mine!

Siding on our garage and gutters Brian and his crew did an awesome job very nice and professional. I would truly recommend them. They were done in no time and did a very good clean up. Thanks again Brain and your crew for a job well done especially under the cold weather we had.

Brian does a good job with his business. Brian will work with your insurance company. He will also respond and fix any problems throughout the process. Brian will also stand behind his work and correct any issues after installation

Advocate has completed several jobs for me. 2 separate buildings in Elkhorn, and my personal residence in Antioch. Brian and his crews have always been a pleasure to work with and the quality has been outstanding! Thanks for all your efforts Brian.

Brian was referred to us by our realtor to investigate potential hail damage on our roof. He responded immediately and was very professional. In a situation where we could have been taken advantage of, Brian was thorough and honest. It's so good to have people out there valuing morals over money.

Aubrey Wenger

Brian was very helpful in helping us choose the right roofing materials and needs for our full tear off roof job. Very reasonable and a fast working crew. Left the job site clean when it was done and he was very responsive to any questions and requests we had. Thank you Advocate Contracting!

Lisa Seward

Brian was easy to contact, friendly and knowledgeable about his product, and provided a real $ quote we could work with. His team came and did our roof while I was away at work, was all cleaned up, and I came home to a beautiful new roof.

Michael Jones

We collected several estimates for a new roof and skylight in our park model home. Advocate was the most reasonable and Brian was very thorough in the estimate and answered all of my questions. We were provided with meaningful documentation and advice in choosing a skylight supplier. Advocate installed our skylight for a very reasonable cost. The crew was very efficient, professional, courteous, and cleaned up around the worksite. Of course the proof is in the end result and I have to say that after our first season, it looks great and absolutely no leaks! I would highly recommend Advocate and Brian Scott. I found the most efficient way to contact Brian is a direct call, leave a message, and he WILL call back.

Brian was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We had a long undiscovered water leak due to a hole in the shingle and in April, the crew came over and fixed it well in one day with a nominal price.

Advocate was a great company to work with. Brian is professional and forthcoming. He also had some great ideas and suggestions that really made our house look great. The crew was professional courteous and a pleasure to be around. We couldn't be happier with our finished project.

Rebecca McAuliffe

Brian is professional, reasonable, and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with him, and my new roof and siding look beautiful! The work was completed quickly and efficiently, and I will happily rehire and recommend Advocate in the future.

Brian was very helpful in sharing information about qualities of different shingles and associated warranties. He worked with us to select one that complimented the brick and wood on the house and garage. His workers were very professional and courteous to my family and neighbors. They cleaned up all debris and assured no landscaping was damaged during the roofing process. Also, they performed some "tuck" work on our chimney to assure there would be no issues in the near future. I would definitely recommend them for future roofing work.

Daniel C. Siau

Brian Scott the President of Advocate provided us with three great quotes based off materials and warranty for our secondary house in the Lake Geneva area to replace the roof. He provided us with detail explanations to help us with our choice. After we made our selection, the job was done by his crew in a very professional manner. After the job was completed, the crew did an excellent job cleaning up all the debris around the house. The job was completed in April 2017.

We are planning on using Advocate for replacement of the roof for our primary home in Northbrook in 2018.

Brian and his crews ( roofing and siding) are very professional yet take the time to be very friendly and courteous!! I had 4 bids and Brian was cheapest yet the quality was top shelf and his crews made sure that I had no clean up They left my yard as they found it!!! I highly recommend Brian for any siding/roofing job you may haveThanks Brian!!!

Brian and his crew did an amazing job on my house siding. He came through for me after my initial "contractor", GTS Construction, left the job 3/4 unfinished, and in a condition described by 3 other siding companies, including Advocate, as "the worst siding work they have ever seen".
Thanks to Brian, I have a beautiful siding job that I am proud to look at and am confident that it will last for decades. Thanks, Brian and crew for a great job! Highly recommended.
Update 12-3-18
As stated above,I have Used Brian's Company, Advocate Contracting, in the past for a big siding job. He really helped me out of a bad situation when I got screwed and robbed by GTS Construction (stay FAR away from them). It was mid winter with half my siding off and the other half done incorrectly. Brian's crew was fast and true craftsmen. Saved the day! 5 stars on that job.

This time was a more simple deck patio door. Brian and his assistant got the old door out and the new one in on a very hot day in June, 2018. I had to finish the interior trim work myself (unexpected, but I do a lot of carpentry, so, no big deal) which was a bit of a chore as the new door did not fit in the opening exactly as the old one, but I managed to do it nicely. I think the door is great, and the price was right. I give 4 stars on customer service this time because it took a lot of me calling Advocate to get the job done after the quote. Nevertheless, I do recommend Brian.

In the spring of 2016, we asked Brian and his team to redo our siding, refinish our deck and install all new fascia trim around the house. I am embarrassed it has taken a year to submit this review. Brian and his team were tremendous. They are extremely professional and genuinely seem to care about their clients. Brian came prepared with suggestions, but never tried to oversell. He worked squarely within our budget, and delivered a product that is pretty remarkable. A year later, we are just as impressed with the work. I would highly recommend Brian and Advocate Contracting & Restoration Inc. Mike C. - Williams Bay

Thanks!

Overall I had a great experience working with Brian Scott. He was very helpful and recommended only things that I needed to be done for repairs. In addition, Brian was very helpful to ensure that I completed all of the insurance paperwork correctly and received the extra money that I was due because of building code updates. Thanks, Brian.

Rick Boss
Feb 1, 2016

Last year late spring (2015) we contracted Brian and his company Advocate Contracting to replace our siding, windows and doors and I am extremely pleased we did! As small business owners my wife and I get it when it comes to sales, installations and follow up customer service. We give Brian and his employees a rating of A+ on all of three of those most important successful business ingredients. For example: When our new doors and storms arrived Brian's installation crew was tied up he came out himself and installed them to make sure that all went well and it did. I can't tell you enough as to how pleased we were with the professionalism exhibited by his employees on the job. I can really appreciate that one from my own experience. I could go and on but would be repeating myself. I would recommend; No I would HIGHLY recommend Advocate to successfully tackle any roof, siding, window or door projects you may be considering. Just call him and talk to him you will feel the true authenticity immediately.

Thank you Brian we love the new look of our home!!!

Rick and Debbie Boss

Matthew O'Connor is very knowledgeable and willing to go through with you about every detail. His workers are very professional and experienced, they did an outstanding job. Our house looks fantastic. I highly recommend Advocate for any siding job you have.

Ken Sorensen

We had a tree hit our house and were lucky to find Brian. We needed a new roof and siding. Brian spent the time to evaluate, provided great ideas, and most importantly got the work done and we are very happy with the results. We got some competitive quotes and Advocate's came out as the most competitive. He also assisted us with the insurance claim process and helped us get an added supplement from the insurance company as well. On top of all of this, we had major challenges with getting everything done through the winter - scheduling workers around "nice" days when work can be done. I highly recommend Advocate to anyone thinking about roof replacement or exterior remodeling.
