R&R Roofing and Masonry started 20 years ago, but the work began long before that. Marchello Wanko was 10 years old when he first went to job sites with his father, learning roofing and masonry the way it's meant to be learned: hands-on, one project at a time. Two decades later, he runs the company on the same standards his father taught him. Every roof and every brick wall gets the care of someone who grew up in the trade. That's not a sales line. It's how this business was built.
We treat customer satisfaction as the whole job, not a bonus. That means showing up when we say we will, using the best materials available, and standing behind the work after it's done. We're licensed, insured, and bonded in Illinois, so your home and your money stay protected. We also offer fast service and emergency repairs, because roof and masonry problems don't wait for a convenient time. When you call R&R, you get a crew that takes your home as seriously as you do.
Our Team

Owner & Lead Roofing and Masonry Contractor
Marchello runs every job from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. With a lifetime in the trade and 20 years owning R&R, he handles roofing and masonry work himself and holds the crew to the standards his father passed down. His approach is simple: do it right, use the best materials, and treat the customer's home like his own.

A new roof protects everything under it. We install asphalt shingle, flat, and specialty roofs using top-grade materials that hold up against Illinois winters and summer storms. Every install starts with a full inspection so you know exactly what your home needs. You get a roof that looks sharp and lasts for decades.

Small leaks turn into big problems fast. We find the source, fix it, and check the rest of your roof while we're up there. Regular maintenance catches worn flashing, loose shingles, and weak spots before they cost you. Stay ahead of damage and stretch the life of your roof.

Clogged or sagging gutters send water where it doesn't belong. We replace old gutters with systems sized right for your roofline, so rain moves away from your foundation. Proper drainage protects your siding, basement, and landscaping. You stop water damage before it starts.

Gutters only work when they're clear and sealed. We patch leaks, reattach loose sections, and clear blockages that back water up under your shingles. A quick service now saves you from rot and foundation trouble later. Keep your drainage working through every storm.

Crumbling mortar weakens the whole wall. We grind out old, failing joints and pack in fresh mortar that matches your brick. Done right, tuckpointing restores strength and keeps moisture out for years. Your brickwork looks new again and stands solid.

A brick walkway or patio adds value and lasts a lifetime when it's laid correctly. We build paver paths, driveways, and patios on a proper base so they won't shift or sink. The result is a clean, level surface that handles foot traffic and weather. Solid work you'll walk on for years.

A brick mailbox makes a statement at the curb. We build custom brick mailboxes that match your home and meet postal placement rules. Each one is set on a solid footing so it stands straight through freeze and thaw. A small detail that lifts your whole exterior.

Brick does more than build walls. We handle custom projects like pillars, accent walls, planters, and facades, matching brick and mortar to your existing structure. Skilled hands and the right materials make the difference between sloppy and seamless. You get craftsmanship that fits your vision.

Worn or cracked steps are a safety hazard and an eyesore. We rebuild and repair brick steps and stoops so they're level, sturdy, and built to code. Solid footings and quality brick keep them from settling or crumbling. Walk up to your door with confidence.

Old brick deserves to be saved, not torn down. We restore aging masonry by replacing damaged brick, repairing cracks, and matching original materials. Careful work brings tired walls, chimneys, and facades back to life. Your structure stays strong and keeps its character.

Storm damage doesn't wait, and neither do we. We're open 24 hours for emergency roof repairs when wind, hail, or a fallen branch breaks through. Fast response stops water from ruining your interior. Call any hour and we'll secure your home.

A failing chimney puts your home and safety at risk. We repair cracked crowns, replace spalling brick, and rebuild chimneys from the roofline up. Sound masonry keeps water out and your chimney standing tall. Trust the structure that vents your home.

Tuckpointing is the process of grinding out old, crumbling mortar between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. If you see cracked, missing, or powdery mortar joints, your brick likely needs it.
