What began as a modest dream and a toolbox has grown to be one of the Western Suburbs’ most trusted names in roofing and exterior house repair. AK Roofing & Gutters is more than a roofing company—it’s a story of grit, community commitment, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
Founded more than a decade ago by Kenny Nuredini and Ari Lluka, who shared a passion for quality work and strong ethics, AK Roofing & Gutters began as a small operation with big ambitions.
“We were just two hardworking individuals with a passion for quality craftsmanship and a drive to build something meaningful,” recalls Nuredini.
Taking on one roof at a time, their attention to detail and honest approach quickly earned them a loyal customer base. Today, they proudly serve homeowners and businesses from Hinsdale to Naperville and beyond, still holding on to the same values that sparked their mission.
Specializing in a full range of roofing and guttering services, they offer comprehensive services, such as full roof replacements, gutter installation, repairs, and ongoing maintenance. Over time, they expanded their services to include fascia, soffit, siding, and storm damage restoration, providing a true one-stop solution for exterior home maintenance.
One job that left a lasting impression involved helping an elderly couple whose roof was damaged in a storm and had been denied coverage under their insurance policy. “We helped guide them through the appeal process, got the claim approved, and completed the job without compromising quality,” recalls Nuredini. “That experience reinforced our commitment to being not just contractors, but advocates for our customers.”
It’s this commitment to doing it right, regardless of who’s watching, that sets them apart. “We treat every home like it’s our own,” Nuredini emphasizes. By using the best materials available, premier craftsmanship, and an unwavering standard of communication, they pride themselves on creating outcomes that last and that customers can count on.
Their roots in the local community run just as deep as their commitment to craftsmanship. Not only do they give back by sponsoring local events and helping families in need—especially after severe storms—but they’ve also earned such trust that much of their work comes through word-of-mouth referrals. “We’re more than just a business, we’re your neighbors,” says Nuredini.
As for the future? Nuredini has big plans, looking to grow by bringing on more skilled professionals who share his dedication, investing in training and technology, and potentially opening new locations across the greater Chicago area. “The future is bright, and we’re just getting started,” he says.
“Whether it’s a small repair or a full replacement, your home deserves the best,” says Nuredini. “We’re grateful for the trust our community has shown us, and we look forward to many more years of protecting what matters most—your family, your investment, and your peace of mind.”
