Skip to footer Menu History Swanson Roofing began in 1996 when owner/operator Cory Swanson began installing roofs for General Contractors building homes. The quality reputation of the company began to grow, and soon homeowners began to recognize Swanson Roofing as a top-notch choice for installing a new roof on their homes. Swanson Roofing then began to focus exclusively on the homeowner and installing new roofs on existing homes. Their track record of great installation and outstanding customer service soon lead to a customer base that has elevated Swanson Roofing to be the premier roofing contractor in Central Illinois. Throughout the years, the company has accumulated an employee base of the industry’s best people. The employees of the company are treated extremely well, creating an environment where the employees form a “team” and create a stability within the company that translates into a perfect job for the homeowner.

Best advice I can give: Always be honest and uphold your integrity. Best advice I’ve received: From the Rev. Robert Freeman – “Trust in the Lord to provide your needs.” I admire: My mother – as a single mom with three kids, she went back to school at the University of Illinois in the 1980s and graduated in accounting. She is now director of accounts payable at U of I. Her hard work and dedication to get through school influenced my work ethic. My mentor: Retired Rantoul High School teacher/coach Al Taylor taught me that your character defines who you are, and ultimately your successes or failures in life and career. Words from the nominators: “Cory has single-handedly started from the basement level on a shoestring and, through hard work and dedication, has built his business to one of the largest roofing contractors in the Rantoul/Champaign area.” – Mark Glassford, business director, Mardi Inc. “Cory is an honest, hard-working individual with high integrity standards. Conscientious, ethical and fair to all employees and customers.” – Sandra Ehler, mother of nominee and executive director of University Payables, U of I. Footer CONTACT Champaign / Urbana 1508 E.
