About the Class

We prepare you to pass the residential and commercial roofing exams for the State of Illinois. Our secret weapon is your teacher because he is a licensed architect who is also a contractor (see bio below). You get the best of two worlds. We are one of a kind in this field.

Our small class sizes allow us to focus our attention on our students, so you have the highest chance of passing the exams. Our ‘Very Affordable’ in-person classes are 30% LESS then the other providers!. Call the other providers and compare prices. Plus ask them about their instructor’s credentials. We are fully transparent and show ‘All’ our information on this website.

There is a retake warranty (in the unlikely case you need to retake).
