Our Humble Beginnings. . .

In 1947 Lamp, Inc., an Elgin based general contractor, opened up their roofing division appropriately named "Elgin Roofing Company."  Elgin Roofing Company provided commercial roofing services throughout the Fox Valley area for Lamp as well as other local businesses for over 50 years.

Our Growth Years. . .

In 1998 Lamp sold their roofing division to a few roofing professionals and the company name became "Elgin Roofing Company, Inc."  Through quality work and higher quality relationships, the new ownership took Elgin Roofing Company, Inc. to the next level.  The client base was increased, the area of service expanded from greater chicagoland to Rockford & Southern Wisconsin to Northwest Iindiana, and the scope of services expanded with the opening of the Service/Maintenance division and the in-house architectural sheet metal division.

To the Present. . .

In 2005 the company became "ERC Commercial, Inc." after being purchased by James Welch.  Mr. Welch used his experience and synergies from his other successful business venture, Welch Drywall Co., to further develop ERC Commercial, Inc. into an even more successful roofing contractor.

Now called ERC Commercial Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc., we are now a full service roofing and architectural sheet metal contractor that succeeds through internal teamwork and a "can-do" attitude.  Our strong relationships and alliances with the best manufacturers and vendors the industry has to offer further benefits our customers.
