Charles Copley Roofing
Our History
How It All Started
The year was 1968, Crystal Lake had registered a population of 8,314. Charles J Copley was a young laborer, struggling, yet determined to build a future. After trying his hand at various trades, Charles found his rhythm in roofing. He worked for two or three different roofing contractors before deciding to go against the odds. In May of 1968, Charles J Copley with no encouragement bought a '52 Chevy 1/2 ton pick-up and hand painted the name Copley Brothers Roofing. Charles and his teenage brother, with the help of their sister and friends answering phones, was the core of the company.
The Growth of a Business
As the opportunities grew, the company did as well. A small office was set up in his garage and a storage yard was developed behind his home. Chuck and about 4 employees steered the business in the following years. Inevitably the business out grew the space. Charles with his wife, Renee, made way for a growing business.
Who We Are Today
The first big move landed Copley Roofing at a shared warehouse on Route 176. Shortly after, Mike Lesko joined the team and quickly became a staple. After only nine years the business was ready for the next step.
Charles Copley Roofing, Inc. has since expanded to the present location, 835 E Terra Cotta Ave in Crystal Lake. It was here, where the corporation developed into what it is today.
We proudly serve Mchenry County and the surrounding communities as a Christian-Based, Family-Owned company.
