Dante Sabel is a co-founder of Illinois Roofing Institute with over 17 years in roofing across retail and insurance restoration, and owns a commercial retail roofing company.
With over 17 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!
