Our History

Our roots go back to the early 1980s, when Salvador Pedroza—then working as a meat butcher—made the decision to change careers in order to better support his growing family. With the help of his brothers, a small crew of friends and neighbors, and a homemade kettle, Salvador began offering mop-applied hot tar as an affordable roof restoration solution for flat roofs.

Guided by a strong work ethic and a commitment to building a better future, Salvador steadily grew what began as a small operation into something lasting. That early determination turned into a lifelong career, and in 1988, Economy Roofing was officially founded

Our History
First class service since 1988.

Our humble beginnings trace back to the early 1980's when Salvador Pedroza, a meat butcher at the time, decided it was time for a career change. As a means to support his new and growing family, Salvador decided to give roofing a try. With the help of his brothers, a small crew of friends and neighbors, and a homemade kettle, Salvador began offering mop-applied hot tar as an affordable roof restoration service for flat roofs.

Driven by his desire to provide for his family and to achieve the American Dream, Salvador never looked back. From this small-time job grew a passion, from the passion grew a career, and in 1988, Economy Roofing was born.

Our story

Our history

Our humble beginnings trace back to the early 1980's when Salvador Pedroza, a meat butcher at the time, decided to try something new. Salvador began within his neighborhood, mopping hot tar on his neighbors' flat roofs for less than a couple hundred dollars.

Driven by his desire to provide for his family and to achieve the American Dream, Salvador never looked back. From this small-time job grew a passion, from this passion grew a career, and in 1988, Economy Roofing was born.

35+ years later, our track-record encompasses thousands of roofs, and millions of square feet, throughout the greater Chicago area. While our team, experience, and capabilities have surely grown, our values, determination, and commitment to quality remain stronger than ever.
