We are more than just a roofing contractor in Aurora, we are the crew that already knows your permit desk. The city requires a permit for every reroof, caps you at two existing layers before a full tear off is mandatory, and wants a completed ventilation worksheet with the application. We handle all of it, then leave you with a roof detailed for Fox Valley weather.
As your roofing company in Aurora, Storm Guard works both sides of the Fox River, from the 1890s Queen Anne and Italianate homes inside the West Side Historic District to the late 1990s subdivisions off Eola Road and Indian Trail.
We handle residential roofing in Aurora on everything from brick bungalows near Palace Street to two story homes in Stonebridge, matching the material and the underlayment to the age and pitch of the house.
We install and repair commercial roofing in Aurora for Route 59 storefronts, downtown buildings near Stolp Island, and warehouses along the I-88 corridor, including flat systems under a 2:12 pitch where the city does not allow asphalt shingles.
Meltwater has to go somewhere. We maintain, repair, and install gutter systems in Aurora that carry it clear of the fascia and foundation instead of letting it pond and refreeze at the eave.
We install and repair siding built for wind driven rain and hail, and we look it over any time we are on Aurora roofs after a storm.
Original sashes and aging storm windows are common in Aurora homes built before 1940. Our warranty backed window replacement in Aurora seals the opening properly, so heat is not leaving through the frame while your furnace works overtime.
When the National Weather Service surveyed the July 15, 2024 derecho, it logged shingle and fascia damage into Aurora. We tarp fast, because an open deck turns into water in the ceiling by the next band of rain. Call for emergency roof tarping and we will secure it the same day.
Storm Guard Roofing of Naperville is in Aurora every week, which is why our roof inspection reports name the actual failure point instead of recommending a full replacement by reflex, and why our storm damage roof repair documentation holds up with adjusters. After every hail event, out of town door knockers work these neighborhoods, and the Illinois Attorney General has warned homeowners about exactly that. Call (630) 216-8297 and talk to a crew based ten miles east instead.
As your roofer in Aurora, we keep the job predictable from the permit application through the final city inspection.
We walk the roof and the attic, then document what is actually failing: hail bruising and granule loss, wind creased shingles, tired flashing at valleys and chimneys, and lifted fascia. We check ventilation on the same visit, because the city wants a completed ventilation worksheet attached to the permit.
Our Aurora roofing contractors give you an itemized estimate that spells out the tear off scope. If your roof already carries two layers, all of it has to come off under city rules, so we price it that way up front rather than adding it later.
We install to manufacturer specification with ice and water protection at the eaves and in the valleys, the detail that decides whether a roof gets through a freeze and thaw winter without an ice dam leak.
We run a final walkthrough with you, magnet sweep the drive and the lawn, and stay with the job through the city final roof inspection so nothing is left open on your permit.
Storm Guard sources materials from top manufacturers and selects them for how Aurora weather actually behaves. Impact rated asphalt for hail exposure, metal roofing where you want 40 years or more out of the system, and single ply membrane for flat commercial roofs under a 2:12 pitch.
As your go to roofer in Aurora, we work parcels that sit in Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will County inside one set of city limits, and the permit still comes from the city no matter which county your lot falls in. From roof replacement to gutters, siding, windows, and storm damage repair, we handle the whole exterior. Call us today for a consultation.
Storm Guard Roofing of Naperville provides roof repair, full replacement, inspections, and maintenance for homes and businesses in Aurora. That covers asphalt, metal, and flat single ply systems, plus gutters, siding, and windows, and it includes commercial roofing for the low slope roofs on Route 59 and around downtown.
Get a roof inspected after any Fox Valley hail or straight line wind event, and sooner if you can see one of the following from the ground or the attic.
Replacement beats repair once the damage crosses multiple slopes or the roof is past roughly 20 years of Illinois freeze and thaw. These are the signs we look for.
Most asphalt shingle replacements are finished in a single day. Larger homes, steep or cut up roofs, and a full tear off of two existing layers can run two to five days. The calendar also depends on the city permit being issued before we start and the final inspection being scheduled after we finish, which we manage for you.
Every roof we install carries two warranties, one from the manufacturer and one from us.
Our office is ten miles east of Aurora in Naperville, so honoring that workmanship warranty means a short drive out to your house, not a claim form and a phone tree.
A new roof in Aurora is priced on square footage, pitch, the material you choose, and how many existing layers have to come off. Two layers means a mandatory full tear off under city rules, which adds labor and disposal, so we put that line in the estimate rather than discovering it on day one.
Yes. The city requires a permit for roof replacement, and the contractor doing the work has to be registered with the city and hold a State of Illinois roofing license. The application includes a copy of your contract and a completed ventilation worksheet, and the job closes with a final city roof inspection. Cathedral ceilings, flat roofs, full sheathing replacement, and properties in a historic or Foxwalk district trigger additional plan review.
Ventilation is what keeps an attic from cooking in July and forming ice dams in January, and in Aurora the ventilation worksheet is a permit requirement rather than an upgrade. The city calculates net free vent area as attic area divided by 300, converted to square inches, and recommends exhaust at 40 to 50 percent and intake at 50 to 60 percent of that total. Hot second floor rooms, a musty attic, or ice building along the eaves all point to an unbalanced system, and a roof inspection will confirm it.
Roofs fail at transitions long before the open field of shingles gives out, so flashing, valleys, chimney and skylight curbs, and sidewall step flashing are the first places we inspect. Older Aurora homes with dormers and rear additions simply have more of those transitions, which is one reason we replace flashing instead of reusing it.
A properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years, well beyond the 20 to 30 years typical of asphalt. Metal roofing in Aurora also sheds snow and stands up to the wind that arrives with Fox Valley thunderstorm lines, and standing seam systems sit at the top of that range.
Flashing should always be replaced during a re-roof, because it guards the most leak prone joints on the building and it fatigues faster than the shingles around it. Reusing metal that has already been through a decade of Aurora freeze and thaw seals a known weak point under a brand new roof, and that is the most common cause of a leak on an otherwise sound installation.
