The Top Dog Standard: Why We Put Everything in Writing

In contracting, the industry line is true: if it is not written down, it did not happen. Verbal promises do not survive the first rainstorm, the first change order, or the first warranty call.

That is why Top Dog Contracting puts everything in writing — and why you should demand the same from any contractor you hire, including us.

Credentials On Every Quote

Our quotes carry our Illinois Roofing License #104.019893, and we hand over proof of insurance on request without blinking. A contractor who hesitates to prove either one is telling you something. Listen.

A Scope of Work You Can Read

Our contracts describe the actual work in plain English: what gets torn off, what gets installed, which materials, what cleanup looks like, and when the job will be done. You can find the detailed scope for every service we offer right on our Services page — the same standards we build into every contract.

A 10-Year Workmanship Warranty, Not a Handshake

Every installation we complete is backed in writing by our 10-Year Workmanship Warranty. If anything we installed fails because of how we installed it — a nail pop, a seam, a piece of flashing — we come back and fix it free. A contractor confident in their work puts that on paper. A contractor who is not gives you a verbal "you're covered."

The Point of the Paper

Written guarantees only mean something if the company plans to still exist when you need them. We document everything because we intend to be here in year ten — standing behind the roof we put on in year one.
