Two friends.
Twenty-two years.

Paul Antonou and David Johnson learned the roofing trade as friends, got licensed together in 2004, and built Gen-Ex Construction out of McHenry as a partnership ever since. Two decades of side-by-side work on the same NW Chicago suburb homes.

We cover the full exterior package — roofing, gutters, siding, windows. McHenry County weather is no joke: lake-effect-adjacent winters with heavy snow load, severe summer thunderstorms, occasional hail. After 22 years on these homes, we size every job for the climate it actually lives in.

Exterior disciplines
02 — The Trade

Four disciplines.
One in-house bench.

The same hands that lay your shingles flash your siding. The same eyes that size your gutters set your windows. The full exterior, run in-house.

03 — The Method

A clean, unhurried
way of doing business.

  1. i.

    On-site survey

    Paul or David climbs the roof. Photographs, measurements, decking condition, ventilation, flashing. We bring the findings back to you with a real plan.

  2. ii.

    Plain-language estimate

    Written, itemized, no theatrics. Insurance coordination if there's been hail or wind. A real number — no door-knocker pressure.

  3. iii.

    Our crew, on your roof

    Paul and David got their licenses together in 2004 and have run this crew side-by-side ever since. Two owners on the job, never a stranger at the door.

  4. iv.

    Cleanup & warranty

    Magnet-swept yard. Manufacturer warranty registered. Paul or David answers the phone after the truck leaves — twenty-two years of McHenry County repeat customers proves that out.

Paul and David did our roof in 2018, gutters in 2022, and the siding last fall. Same crew, same standards, same handshake every time. Two-thirds of our block has them on speed dial now.
