Remodel Smarter with Advocate Contracting

Replacing your roof, siding, or windows is no small task. These are major upgrades to your home’s structure, efficiency, and curb appeal. For many homeowners, the thought of tackling a full exterior remodel brings a long list of concerns—cost, disruption, scheduling, and finding a contractor they can trust.


At Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services Inc., our mission is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. With over a decade of experience serving Wisconsin and Illinois, we’ve developed a system that focuses on quality work, honest communication, and respect for your time and property. Here’s how we make exterior remodeling easier from start to finish.

No-Pressure Consultations—Ever

We believe that great service starts with honest advice. That’s why Advocate Contracting never uses high-pressure sales tactics. When you call us for a consultation, you’ll get clear answers, professional insight, and a breakdown of your options—no gimmicks, no rush, and no upsell.


Our team walks you through the details of the project scope, including the condition of your current materials, what replacement entails, and how long the work will take. You’ll leave the first meeting with a full understanding of what’s involved, so you can make decisions with confidence.

One Contractor for the Whole Exterior

One of the biggest advantages of working with Advocate Contracting is that we handle all major exterior systems under one roof: roofing, siding, windows, soffit, fascia, and gutters. That means you don’t have to coordinate with multiple companies or worry about inconsistent timelines and workmanship.


Whether you’re replacing a single system or completing a full exterior overhaul, we build a unified plan from day one. Our crews are trained in all phases of exterior installation, which keeps your project on schedule and your home protected every step of the way.

In-House Crews, Not Subcontractors

We take quality control seriously. Every project we take on is completed by our own experienced crews—not temporary labor or subcontracted teams. This means better communication, more consistent workmanship, and accountability at every phase of the job.


From precise roof installation to clean and secure window placement, our crews are trained to meet Advocate’s standards of excellence. And because we’re based in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, with an additional location in Gurnee, Illinois, our team understands the demands of Midwest weather and building codes.

American-Made Materials, Backed by Warranties

The products we use matter just as much as how we install them. Advocate Contracting works with American-made materials known for durability, efficiency, and performance. From energy-efficient window systems to high-performance roofing and siding, everything we install is selected for long-term value.


We also stand behind our work with a 10-year workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind that the investment you make in your home will last—and that we’ll be here if you ever need support.

Clean Job Sites and Respect for Your Property

Exterior remodeling can be disruptive—but it should never be messy. Our crews work efficiently and cleanly, making sure to protect your property during every phase of installation. We use protective barriers where needed, remove old materials responsibly, and leave the site clean at the end of each workday.



You will never have to worry about stray nails, damaged landscaping, or debris left behind. It’s your home—we treat it that way.

Clear Communication from Start to Finish

One of the most common frustrations homeowners report about contractors is poor communication. At Advocate, we make it a priority to keep you informed. From scheduling updates to inspection results and weather-related changes, we stay in touch so you’re never left guessing.



Our office is always a phone call away, and our project managers make regular check-ins throughout the job. You’ll always know who to contact and what’s happening next.

Experience Remodeling Done Right

At Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services Inc., we’ve built our reputation on trust, consistency, and quality workmanship. Whether you’re replacing your roof, upgrading your siding, or installing energy-efficient windows, we make the process straightforward, honest, and hassle-free.

Why Cheap Roofing Quotes Can Cost You More in the End

July 30, 2025
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Roof Bids When it comes to major home improvements like roof replacement, most homeowners face a familiar dilemma: how to balance quality with affordability. While it’s tempting to go with the lowest quote, especially on a project as expensive as a new roof, the reality is that the cheapest option is rarely the best one and, in many cases, it ends up being the most expensive in the long run. At Advocate Contracting, we focus exclusively on replacement, not patchwork or quick fixes. We work with homeowners across the Midwest who expect long-term performance, not short-term savings. Here’s why you should think twice before choosing the lowest roofing bid.

Protect Your Soffits and Fascia Before Winter Hits

July 23, 2025
Key to a Strong Roof and Home Protection When homeowners think about exterior maintenance, they often focus on the big-ticket items: roofing, siding, windows. But soffits and fascia, though less talked about, play a crucial role in the health and longevity of your home. If these components are damaged or deteriorating, they can compromise the integrity of your roofing system and leave your home vulnerable to moisture, pests, and rot. At Advocate Contracting, we specialize in full exterior replacement services, including soffits and fascia. As the Midwest heads toward cooler weather, now is the time to assess their condition and take action before winter brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.

The Truth About Gutter Guards: Do They Really Work?

July 15, 2025
Gutter Ma  intenance Made Easy with the Right Guards Gutters serve a vital role in protecting your home from water damage, but keeping them clear is a recurring (and often dangerous) chore. Homeowners in the Midwest know the drill: leaves, pine needles, seed pods, and other debris can quickly clog gutters, leading to overflow, rot, mold, and foundation problems. Gutter guards are marketed as a solution, but many homeowners still wonder: do they actually work? The short answer is yes . When professionally installed and properly matched to your home, gutter guards are one of the most effective ways to reduce maintenance and protect your home’s structural integrity.

What’s Hiding Behind Your Old Siding? Signs of Hidden Moisture Damage

July 10, 2025
The Hidden Costs of Failing Siding When most homeowners think about siding, they think about appearances — color, texture, curb appeal . But siding has a far more important role than aesthetics. It’s your home’s first line of defense against wind, rain, snow, and temperature extremes. When siding begins to fail, it can allow moisture to penetrate the exterior shell of your house, leading to hidden and expensive damage behind the surface.  At Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services, we replace aging siding systems throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. We have seen firsthand how undetected water infiltration can compromise a home’s structural integrity — and how addressing it early can prevent thousands in future repairs. Here’s what you need to know.

Is Your Home Ready for Heavy Rain? Gutter and Fascia Tips for Wisconsin Summers

June 25, 2025
Protect Your Home This Summer Summer in Wisconsin brings more than sunshine and lake days—it also brings unpredictable storms, heavy rain, and fast-moving weather systems that can overwhelm a home’s exterior if it’s not properly maintained. Gutters, fascia, and related water-management components are often overlooked, but they are critical in keeping your home protected during the wettest months of the year. At Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services Inc., we specialize in full exterior solutions, including gutter systems, fascia replacement, and upgrades like gutter guards. Here is what every Wisconsin homeowner should know before the next downpour.

How Energy-Efficient Windows Save You Money in the Long Run

June 12, 2025
Boost Comfort and Cut Costs If your home still has older windows, there is a good chance they are costing you money every month. While they may not be visibly broken or drafty, traditional single-pane or outdated double-pane windows can quietly drain your home’s energy and inflate your utility bills. Upgrading to energy-efficient replacement windows is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make—not just for comfort and curb appeal, but for long-term savings.  At Advocate Contracting, we specialize in full exterior replacements, including modern, high-performance windows designed to reduce energy waste, lower heating and cooling costs, and improve year-round comfort.

Why Roof Replacement Is the Smarter Choice Over Patch Repairs

June 5, 2025
Long-Term Performance and Load-Bearing Reliability When a roof shows signs of wear or damage, many homeowners face a critical decision: repair it or replace it? While patch repairs may seem like the faster and more affordable solution, they often come with hidden costs and limited long-term value. In many cases, full roof replacement is the more strategic, cost-effective, and protective option. At Advocate Contracting, we specialize exclusively in roof replacement—not repair—and there is a reason for that. Replacement is the only solution that delivers true structural reliability, long-term performance, and peace of mind. Here’s why.

What Soffit and Fascia Really Do—and Why They Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

May 29, 2025
Beyond Curb Appeal When it comes to exterior remodeling, features like roofing and siding tend to get the spotlight. But there are two components that often go unnoticed—until something goes wrong. Soffit and fascia may not be the most visible parts of a home’s exterior, but they play a critical role in protecting it from the elements and ensuring long-term performance. At Advocate Contracting, we specialize in full exterior replacements, and that includes soffit and fascia. These components are not just decorative—they’re structural and functional elements that every homeowner should understand.

May 22, 2025
Insurance Restoration Made Easy with Expert Roofing Services When your home is damaged by hail, wind, or another weather-related event, navigating the insurance claim process can be just as stressful as dealing with the damage itself. For homeowners in Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois, where storms are not uncommon, having a reliable roofing contractor is not enough—you need a partner who understands insurance restoration from the inside out. This distinction can mean the difference between a smooth, fully covered repair and a drawn-out process that leaves you under-compensated.
