Apex Exteriors, located in South Elgin since 2008, has established itself as a trusted leader in roofing and exterior services throughout Chicagoland and southern Wisconsin. Led by founder Ken Girard, the company combines decades of experience, a commitment to quality craftsmanship, and a mission to provide long-term, high-quality jobs in the Fox Valley.

Ken graduated from Forest View High School in Arlington Heights. During high school, Ken started working for Top Side Roofing gaining invaluable hands-on experience. After earning a finance degree from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, he returned to the roofing business, eventually purchasing half of Top Side Roofing in 1990.

Under Ken’s leadership, the company roofed countless homes throughout the area. In 2008, after decades of success, Ken launched Apex Exteriors to focus on serving homeowners.  As Apex grew, Ken expanded and added HOAs, new construction, and commercial properties. Today, the company offers a wide range of services, including roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters, engineered siding veneers, and emergency repairs. Ken is grateful to be a member of the South Elgin community for over 30 years.

Ken built Apex Exteriors with a commitment to excellence and customer trust. While many companies rely heavily on subcontractors, Ken chose to train his own team of employees to ensure superior craftsmanship. “Do it once and do it right” is a guiding philosophy at Apex, and clients frequently call on them to correct substandard work done by others.

Safety and customer care have always come first at Apex Exteriors. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the company quickly adapted. Declared an essential business, it implemented rigorous sanitation protocols to protect workers and homeowners, and those practices have become part of their standard operations.

Ken’s love for Chicagoland extends beyond work. A devoted fan of the Chicago Bears, he also cheers on both the White Sox and Cubs. He’s passionate about Italian food, often enjoying chicken parmesan and Chicago classics from Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s. In his free time, Ken loves fishing, and Alaska is on his radar for an exciting trip.

Ken Girard envisions continued growth for Apex Exteriors, with plans to expand further across metro Chicago and southern Wisconsin. Guided by over 30 years of experience, the company remains focused on delivering high-quality services and building lasting relationships.

“They helped me understand the work proposed and then crafted a new proposal that addressed my unique situation appropriately. All the work was done professionally and looks great. They had fabulous scheduling and subsequent communication.” Greg L.

“The workers actually arrived early! It was a minor job but they went above what was required to solve our problems. They also did a great job cleaning up afterward. This is our 2nd time having work done by Apex. We have not been disappointed. I would highly recommend.” Donna F.
