Get started

We are in this for you.

We are in this with you.

For us, roofing is personal.

Roofing changed our lives. Finding our way through these processes and establishing businesses of our own has shown us that the roofing industry offers incredible opportunities. And offers those same opportunities for you too! So we are here to make sure you have everything you need to excel in your roofing career. You can do this! We are 100% for you! And we can't wait to meet you.

So we had to make it simple.

We have been where you are. We have taken all the steps to pass the roofing exam, get our license, and beyond. And we have found it's hard to know what to do next! Some days it seemed the system was set against us. And that's why we started Illinois Roofing Institute. We have worked to make the process clear and simple, so you can get your roofing license and create a new future for you and the people you love.

Dante Sabel

Founder

With over 15 years in the roofing industry, I've had the honor of working with some of the biggest names in the business. I've gained a wealth of experience in both retail and insurance restoration, and today I'm proud to own my own Commercial Retail Roofing Company and to have founded Illinois Roofing Institute! Personally, I love fishing, boating, and mostly traveling with my amazing wife – experiencing all kinds of new foods and events. And, also personally, I founded IRI for this moment – the one where you decide to get your own license, start your business, and take your first steps into this new world of possibilities that the roofing industry offers. I promise you this isn’t just a job. We cannot wait to see you thrive!

Founder

I’m one of the founders here at IRI and proud mom to two boys. When I’m not cooking with them or playing soccer against them (which really means them destroying me at soccer), I spend most of my time helping people like you begin their roofing career. At some point in my journey, I was likely right where you are. I’ve been through so many of the challenges you face, from working with an ITIN, to all the questions of what paperwork to file and where. I’ve helped thousands of roofers get their license, and I’m here to tell you two things: One, it’s worth it! Don’t give up. And two, make sure you surround yourself with the right people. It will make all the difference. …And if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m one of them. Give us a call. You’ll know as soon as you speak with us.
