We are a fully licensed roofing contractor in Joliet working on everything from century-old homes in the Cathedral Area to distribution buildings along the interstate corridors. The turrets on the bluff and the membrane on a warehouse are different trades, and we carry crews for each.
As your roofing company in Joliet, Storm Guard covers steep-slope residential work, low-slope commercial systems, multifamily and rental property roofs, and the gutters and siding that protect the walls underneath.
Residential work here runs from complex hip and dormer roofs on the bluff, where the turrets and valleys do most of the leaking, to straightforward tear-offs in the west side subdivisions.
Warehouse, retail, and institutional buildings occupy more than a tenth of this city, and our commercial roofing in Joliet covers all of it in TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen, alongside apartment buildings and rental portfolios.
We maintain, repair, and install gutter systems on homes where the original runs are undersized for the roof area above them, which is common on the older streets near downtown.
We install and repair siding that holds up to wind-driven rain off the river valley and restores the look of a house without fighting its architecture.
Our team is dedicated to delivering warranty-backed service with meticulous attention to detail. We make sure your windows meet the highest standards for quality and performance.
This city has watched roofs come off buildings in daylight, downtown, in living memory. When it happens to yours, call us and we will get an emergency tarp secured before the water reaches the second floor.
Most roofers here pick a lane, houses or warehouses. We staff for both, which matters in a city where a tenth of the land is industrial and nearly four in ten homes predate 1970. The National Weather Service logged an entire roof blown off a building onto Jefferson Street in May 2020, and the July 2024 derecho snapped power poles near Larkin Avenue. Roofs here have to survive that. Start with a roof inspection and we handle the storm damage roof repair ourselves. Call (630) 216-8297.
The same clear process runs on a bungalow, a rental fourplex, or a hundred-thousand-square-foot warehouse roof.
We begin with a complete professional inspection and photo record, checking the valleys, turret and dormer flashings, and any low-slope tie-ins where two eras of roofing meet.
Our roofing contractors give you an itemized estimate you can put in front of a lender, an insurer, or a property manager without translation.
We tear off, repair the deck, and install a complete system, matching the method to the roof: shingle systems on steep slopes, welded or adhered membrane on flat ones.
Final walkthrough, magnet sweep, debris hauled away, and a documented job file. On commercial work we hand over warranty registration and maintenance guidance as well.
Architectural asphalt covers most homes, synthetic rubber slate suits the older bluff houses, and metal and standing seam systems handle the low-pitch and commercial work.
As your go-to roofer in Joliet, we work across every roof this city has: pre-war homes near downtown, west side subdivisions, apartment buildings, and low-slope commercial. Call us today for a consultation.
Yes, and it is a core part of our work in Joliet. Industrial and commercial land accounts for well over a tenth of this city, which means a large inventory of low-slope roofs. We install and service TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems, handle roof surveys and maintenance programs, and work on apartment buildings and mixed-use property as well as single-tenant industrial.
Start from the ground with binoculars, then call for an inspection rather than climbing up yourself.
Age alone does not decide it. What the roof surface looks like does.
Yes, and recently. On May 23, 2020 the National Weather Service logged an entire roof blown off a building onto Jefferson Street downtown, documented in video and photos. During the July 15, 2024 derecho a confirmed tornado snapped wooden power poles near Larkin Avenue, and storms that same week caused roof damage at downtown buildings. This is not theoretical wind exposure.
You get two warranties in writing on every installation, residential or commercial.
About one inch on asphalt shingles, and this area has taken far more than that. Storms in 2026 produced three-inch hail just west of the city and golf ball size on its southern edge. Hail rarely punches through; it bruises the mat and knocks granules loose, shortening the roof life by years without leaving anything obvious to see from the driveway.
Dated photographs of every slope and a written scope of work your carrier can price against, and we meet your adjuster on site so the inspection is not done from a driveway. We will also tell you honestly if what we find looks like age and wear rather than storm damage.
Once a year for homes, and twice a year for low-slope commercial roofs. Flat roofs need drains and seams checked before and after winter. On rental property, an annual inspection is the cheapest way to avoid an emergency call and a tenant complaint in the same week.
Yes. Roughly a quarter of housing in this city is renter-occupied, so we do this regularly. We provide notice periods, keep entries and parking accessible, phase multi-building work, and give owners and property managers written progress documentation they can pass along.
A day for most single-family homes. Add time for steep or complex historic roofs, multiple existing layers, or premium materials, which typically run two to five days. Commercial low-slope projects are scheduled by section so the building stays in operation throughout.
Square footage, pitch, material, deck condition, and access all move the number, and a warehouse membrane roof and a bungalow tear-off are not comparable jobs. We measure the roof, inspect what is under it, and give you an itemized price rather than a phone estimate.
Unless otherwise noted, each use of "Storm Guard," “us,” “we,” or “our” throughout Stormguardrc.com collectively refers to both the Storm Guard brand and the Storm Guard Franchise System, which is made up almost exclusively of independently owned and operated franchise locations.
