Big improvements should come with big peace of mind—thanks to Illinois’ Home Repair and Remodeling Act, projects over $1,000 must follow clear rules that put your interests first. At Holda Construction Roofing & Siding, we don’t treat those rights as fine print. We build them into every step of our process, because trust is a matter of policy and practice.
Below is a point by point tour of your rights and what they mean in real life with a look at how we uphold each one.
Illinois requires contractors to give you the Attorney General’s “Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights” pamphlet before any home repair/remodeling contract over $1,000 is signed. You’ll also sign and date an acknowledgment form that’s part of that brochure, and you keep a copy for your records. We provide this upfront and make sure you have time to read it and ask questions.
If a sale is made in your home for more than $25, you typically have three business days to cancel—full stop. This is often called the “cooling-off period,” and your contract should clearly explain how to use it, with a ready-to-sign cancellation form. We highlight this section and show you exactly how to execute it should you need to.
There’s also a cancellation right tied to insurance claims. If you’re using insurance to pay for work, you can cancel within five business days after receiving a written denial from your insurer or within 30 days after you submitted your claim: whichever comes first. We include the required form and calendar those dates with you so the window doesn’t slip by.
For projects over $1,000, the law requires a written contract or work order that states the total cost, including parts and materials listed with reasonable particularity. It must also include the contractor’s business name and address; if a P.O. Box is used, the contractor’s residence address must appear. We go further—breaking out materials, labor, payment schedule, and milestone timing so there’s no ambiguity.
Why this matters: A professional contract is your roadmap. It’s a clear communication of who is doing the work, what exactly is included, when it happens, and how much it costs.
If a contract includes a binding arbitration clause or a waiver of your right to a jury trial, the contractor must tell you before you sign and must give you the chance to accept or reject those terms. Your choice has to be documented by you writing “accept” or “reject” and signing in the margin next to each clause where it appears in the contract.
If you reject either clause, that counts as a counter-offer; the contractor is allowed to refuse the job rather than proceed without that clause.
Subcontractors and suppliers who work on your home can file a mechanics lien if they’re not paid. Before you make final payment, you should ask for a notarized statement listing everyone the contractor hired and what they’re owed and obtain lien waivers.
These rights aren’t marketing—they’re law. They come from the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act and the Illinois Attorney General’s official materials, including the “Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights” brochure and guidance on contracts and cancellations. We track updates and public acts so our documents and process stay aligned with the latest requirements.
Sharing roofing pricing and siding pricing upfront lets you plan with confidence and compare options without pressure or surprises: it’s the foundation of an honest partnership. Clear numbers align expectations early, respect your budget, and keep our recommendations accountable to real value, not vague estimates.
If you’re curious how we evaluate homes, read our step-by-step Inspection Overview which details what we check, why it matters, and how we document everything. Our articles lay out how we determine scope, materials, typical price ranges, and variables that can move a quote up or down, helping you make decisions confidently since you can see exactly how we build the quote you receive.
Our YouTube channel features organized playlists of real customer video testimonials—from quick, candid clips shot on-site to longer walkthroughs that unpack the problem, the solution, and the outcome. You’ll hear homeowners explain why they chose Holda Construction, what the experience was like day-to-day, and how the final result changed their home. We keep these videos concise, captioned, and clearly labeled by service type (roofing, siding, gutters, repairs) so you can quickly find stories that match your project.
Our Case Studies section is full of real-life project stories which include the homeowner’s goals, existing conditions, our proposed approach, the materials and methods we selected, and the measurable results—often with before-and-after galleries and a short recap video. We also summarize lessons learned and maintenance tips, so you can see not just what we built, but how we think and how we protect your investment long after the crew leaves.
We’re proud to have 200+ five-star Google reviews highlighting our communication, craftsmanship, and follow-through. Homeowners consistently call out our clear estimates, tidy job sites, and dependable scheduling—along with how we handle surprises transparently, in writing, and to their satisfaction. And for your peace of mind, Holda Construction Roofing & Siding is fully licensed and insured.
