Built on experience. Committed to quality.
American Restoration Services Inc brings together a team with more than 20 years of roofing and construction experience, serving homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Who we are
A restoration and construction company
We provide roofing, restoration and construction services with a commitment to quality workmanship, clear communication and attention to detail. From roof replacements to storm and fire damage restoration, our goal is to protect your property, restore your peace of mind, and deliver work you can feel confident in.
Fire and smoke damage, water damage and structural drying, emergency cleanup and board-up, contents and structural cleaning, and the reconstruction and remodeling that puts a property back together. That is the whole list, and it is deliberate: every part of it is work that has to happen in the same sequence, on the same building, usually within a few weeks of each other.
Two decades of construction is where the trade was learned, and it is why the rebuild side of this business is not an afterthought. A house that has had water through it is a construction problem as much as a cleaning one — the walls, the floors and the framing all have to be looked at properly, not just dried and painted over.

Our peopleTrained and certified crews with more than 20 years of construction behind them, working to the standards the restoration industry sets for drying, containment and documentation. The people who show up are the people who know the work.
How we work
Four things we hold to
One team, start to finish
The most common complaint after a loss is not the cleanup, it is the wait afterwards. The house is dried, the equipment is gone, and the family is living in a half-finished room waiting on a contractor who stopped calling. We do the mitigation and the rebuild, so the second half starts when the first half ends.
The scope comes before the work
You get a written, itemized scope and a price you approve before anything chargeable begins. That protects you from a bill you did not expect, and it protects us from doing work nobody agreed to pay for.
Documented for the claim
What decides a claim is rarely what is visible from the doorway. We photograph and record the damage before anything is moved, boxed or thrown away, and we put it in the format your adjuster expects to receive.
Your home is not a job site
People live in the houses we work in. We contain the dust, protect what we can, keep a clear path through the property, and leave it clean every day rather than at the end of the project.
The highest stage of development
A meridian is the highest point a thing reaches. It is the standard we named the company after, and the one we hold every job to — the building at its best, not merely cleaned up.
Answered day or night
A fire or a burst pipe does not wait for office hours.
Our own crews
Our shirts, our hats, our vehicles, our work.
Documented for the claim
Photographs, readings and an itemized scope.

Homes and businesses
We work for homeowners, landlords, property managers and business owners. A burst pipe in a family home and one in a restaurant need the same craft and completely different handling — the schedule, the communication and the priorities are not the same, and we plan accordingly.
See what we handleLicensed and insured
We are a licensed and insured restoration and construction contractor, and our crews are trained and certified for the work they do. Licenses, insurance certificates and references are available on request — ask when you call and we will send them before the work starts, not after.
24-hour emergency response
A straight answer and a written scope.
We come out, document what we found, and put the work and the cost in writing — and we deal with your adjuster, so you are making decisions instead of relaying messages.
