Built for Cary Homes, Backed by Two Decades of Local Work
Gen Ex Construction has spent more than twenty years working on rooftops and siding across Cary, from the tree-lined streets near Three Oaks Recreation Area to the newer subdivisions off Cambria and Northwest Highway. Sitting along the Fox River in McHenry County, Cary’s mix of century-old homes near the historic downtown and modern builds further out means no two roofing or siding jobs look quite the same. Our licensed crews understand how river humidity, mature tree cover, and Illinois’ swinging seasonal temperatures wear down exterior materials here, and we tailor every inspection, repair, and replacement to what your specific property needs. Whether you’re dealing with wind-lifted shingles after a spring storm or planning ahead for a full roof replacement, our team is ready to walk you through the process from first inspection to final walkthrough — including handling your insurance claim if storm damage is involved.

How Cary's Climate Impacts Your Roof & Siding
Living near the Fox River comes with a specific set of exterior challenges:
- River Humidity & Ice Damming: Moisture off the Fox River combined with heavy tree cover can trap water beneath shingles, and our crews install proper ventilation and ice-and-water barriers to stop it before it starts.
- Mature Tree Canopy: Many Cary properties sit under dense, established trees, and we regularly repair the debris and moisture-related wear that shaded roofs experience more than open lots.
- Freeze-Thaw Cycling: Illinois’ rapid shifts between freezing nights and warmer days stress both shingles and siding seams, so we install materials rated to expand and contract without cracking.
