It is extremely rare for me to do an online review of anyone for anything. However, when I find a contractor this exceptional, it is almost a moral imperative that I do so. If you are the President of a homeowners association, condominium, or the like, as I am, then I do not need to tell you how time-consuming and trying it can be to accomplish anything greater than routine maintenance and repair, especially a project that must access everyone’s space, that requires everyone’s cooperation, and demands a special assessment to boot. You can imagine the meetings. So, when it came time for the enormous task of replacing the roofs of our two buildings, I braced for an ordeal: so-called contractors who barely look things over, whose proposals are just shot from the hip, who can’t show certification for the materials or methods they use, who can’t produce the necessary proof of both business liability and workers compensation insurance, whose corporate status has lapsed with the State, who don’t show up, who don’t feel any obligation to communicate timely during the process, and so on. In other words, the usual parade. And for this job, I did get those circus acts . . . until Peace of Mind Exterior Company (POM). Yes, I did a little eye roll at the company name, but I was happily made to put all my cynicism aside. Here was a company President, Fidel Avalos, who was more than a salesman, who was hands-on, who I did not have to wait on, who got back to me timely whenever I needed it (and that was often, as you might guess, with all the to-and-fro of shepherding a homeowners association). Blew away every roofing contractor who came out, not to mention every other contractor we’ve had for anything else for at least the last seven years. Brought a crew, not just himself and a clipboard, and got them all up on the roofs, assembled photos, a surprisingly thorough inspection report, and an honest-to-God proposal. Made my (usually thankless) job a LOT easier presenting the project to our board and members. Also decisive for us—and missing from other contractor’s—was POM’s evidence of certification for the roofing materials and installation methods (GAF), on account of which we obtained an exceptionally long warranty. No one else could prove this assurance. All this is not to mention a better price and all the boxes quickly and early checked for insurance, license, and the rest of the prerequisites every commercial client has to establish beforehand. POM continued to be true to their name on the job, and Fidel was ever present and available every step the way, getting the City permit, explaining the process, and showing the evidence of what needed to be done and why. As the retired son of a commercial and residential contractor, I had the time and knowledge most would not to understand and track work like this. And I can tell you I was never disappointed. I thought contractors like this died with my father. What a relief! Now, of course, any construction disturbs the daily routines of residents. But POM’s crew was always courteous and professional, and never left at the end of the day without cleaning things up in a way that made things still feel normal. If you are an association officer, you will appreciate the great value of this peacekeeping among your members. There’s that word again: “peace”! No joke: We have solid and great looking roofs now that have all our members relieved and thankful. When’s the last time that happened at your property? Cheers, POM! Dennis F., Highland Park, IL

We have used Peace of Mind Exterior for both repairs and for a full re-shingle when it was time. They were extremely friendly, quick, and professional every time. They had gone above and beyond on all occasions. We have been exceptionally pleased with the quality of work.

Peace of mind roofing was a pleasure to do business with. They went above and beyond to make sure that our roof was replaced in a timely manner and everything was top quality. Fidel was also a huge asset when dealing with our insurance company. Don’t hesitate to use Peace of Mind for all of your roofing needs.

Peace of Mind provided exceptional service and follow-through. We had our roof, siding, and gutters replaced. Then they wrapped and caulked our windows to make sure our Home was truly maintenance free. They were on the job early and worked late. We were amazed at the transformation that occurred with our Home, over the last few weeks. Everyday my wife and I went out after they had left, to see our home transformed before our eyes. When we looked closely, we could see the detail and care that was taken by his team. Early each morning they set down drop cloths to catch any debris, then when they left each night everything was disposed of and our lawn was swept to catch any nails or metal debris. They are a full service company, so as we began to envision what our home would become, we asked them to do a little more. They also hung a few storm windows, painted doors, and added shutters to the front of the home for a minimal cost. Mr. Avalos the owner of Peace of Mind was there from the first, with the inspection of the home and created a detailed proposal. Then made sure that during the construction nothing was missed, he supervised his teams while he worked alongside them. He always checked in with us to make sure we were completely satisfied. We were given a 50 year warranty. Everyone that has seen the finished home is impressed. Our Home that is more than 100 years old, it now looks like New! We now have the nicest home on the block. We can’t thank, Peace of Mind and Mr. Avalos enough! We would recommend him and his teams highly. We have since referred him to family and friends. They are craftsman and you can tell they take pride in their work!

As the Adage goes: “A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed”; just call them you’ll see what we mean. 1.) Service call/response is: Stupendous. 2.) Owner & crew are very respectful & professional. 3.) This cat tells it like it is!

I had an incredible experience with Fidel and Peace of Mind Exteriors. I was in a pickle, trying to find an honest roofer on a tight timeline; and Fidel saved the day. I needed my roof facia, soffit and gutters torn down and replaced. He provided an honest, thorough, up front bid and executed the job flawlessly. He was always on the lookout to save me money and time. Thank you Fidel!

My first experience with Peace of Mind was great. Unfortunately, the second time was far from. Had them out, got a quote, and scheduled the service. That resulted in 3 no call, no shows and multiple reschedules. Because I had a good experience the first go around, I looked past the poor customer service. Now, after almost a month of reschedules they said we don't know if/when we will be able to get to it now. Not really apologetic, no owning their own missteps, and no remedying of the situation. I can't fathom how any business would think this is acceptable. Don't want the same thing to happen to someone else.

10/12/2021 I had a chimney leak in an old roof on an historical home (pre WWI). Fidel came out to provide an estimate, helped with questions, guaranteed the work and clean up, and delivered on a new roof that was not only a necessary investment, but that provided upgrades to the style of installation to prolong the life of the roof. Gutter installation was likewise responsible, and PoM took extra time installing gutters beneath rather than above the shingles. It was a first-time roof replacement for me, and the team was very kind and responsive throughout the project, which was most appreciated.
I would very much recommend Peace of Mind! Rl W.
12/12/2021 - Had a hole in my siding and that needed fixing. Fidel was able to help me right away. He came to see the hole and was able to fix it that same day. Also answered my question about other concerns that I have around the house and gave me his opinion. I feel more at ease now. I will definitely be calling him again.

1/04/2021 Very pleased with the service we received. When a leak appeared on our ceiling, we wrote to get 4 estimates for roof repair or replacement. Peace of Mind Exterior promptly responded and sent a rep out the next day. He crawled in our attic and found the source of the leak and informed us that he could fix it rather than replace the roof. Repair was made a day or two later and the price was far less than replacing the roof shingles!
5 stars for a business that was honest and values its customers. We will call them again when our roof inevitably needs to be replaced in the future.

11/09/2019 Fidel came out to look at our house for any storm damage after the hail storms we had earlier this year. He showed up and checked the entire house. Said he needed about a week to put the damage cost together but I never heard back from him. Sent a reminder and he responded saying he needed a couple more days but never heard back again. So I gave Peace of Mind a “Piece of my Mind” when you don't respond to customers that you are looking to do business with. I know this because I am in the construction business and customer service has always been my top priority which is what brings more business your way in the future. No response is not the answer!!
