We are a licensed local roofing contractor in Plainfield, and we are still here after the storm-chasing crews have moved on to the next county. Homes here are large and mostly still on their original roof, so we measure and quote them line by line instead of by the square.
As your roofing company in Plainfield, Storm Guard handles full tear-offs on 1990s and 2000s homes, repairs on the older houses near Lockport Street, and the gutters and siding that take the same beating as the roof above them.
Our residential crews spend most of their time on the large two-story homes that filled these subdivisions in the late 1990s and early 2000s, where the original 25-year shingle is now at or past the end of its rated life.
We provide commercial roofing in Plainfield for the businesses along Route 59 and Route 126, schools, and light industrial buildings, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems that need a membrane specialist rather than a shingle crew.
We maintain, repair, and install gutter systems that can actually keep up with a heavy DuPage River valley downpour, then carry the water clear of the foundation instead of dropping it at the corner of the house.
Hail rarely stops at the roofline, so we inspect and replace siding on the same elevations we are re-roofing, which also keeps one insurance claim from turning into two projects.
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 town knows what a bad storm can do. If a slope tears open or a limb goes through the deck, call us and we will get a secured emergency tarp in place, day or night, before the water gets into your ceilings.
When hail lands in a town built this uniformly, it does not take one roof, it takes the street. On March 10, 2026 the National Weather Service logged four hail reports in Plainfield inside thirteen minutes, up to an inch and a half. Every roof inspection we run is photographed and dated, and the storm damage roof repair is scoped from that record rather than a guess. Call (630) 216-8297.
Every project here runs the same readable way: inspect it, price it in writing, build it to spec, and leave the yard clean enough for the kids to play in.
We begin with a complete professional inspection of every slope and penetration, and we photograph hail bruising so you have dated evidence whether or not you file a claim.
Homes here run larger than the regional average, so square footage moves the number more than most people expect. The estimate breaks it out line by line before anything is ordered.
We install the complete system, not just the shingle: ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys, correct starter and ridge, and ventilation sized to the attic it is serving.
Final inspection with you on site, magnet sweep of the drive and lawn, and a job file with the warranty paperwork your insurer and your future buyer will both want.
Given how often hail lands in this town, impact-rated shingles are worth pricing against a standard architectural product before you decide. On the low-pitch porch and bay roofs that keep failing, metal roofing is usually the honest answer.
As your go-to roofer in Plainfield, we are set up for what this town needs most: whole-subdivision replacement work, hail damage documented properly, and storm response that shows up. Call us today for a consultation.
Because the town was built all at once. About 71 percent of housing in Plainfield was constructed between 1990 and 2009, with a median build year around 2003. A 25-year architectural shingle installed across a subdivision in the late 1990s reaches the end of its rated life across that same subdivision, which is why neighbors on one street often need roofs in the same two or three years.
Hail damage on asphalt shingles is usually invisible from the ground, so start with the softer metal on the property.
The test is whether the shingle itself is worn out or simply damaged in one place.
Yes, with a documented record. The August 28, 1990 tornado here remains the only F5 tornado ever documented in the United States during the month of August, with 29 deaths, roughly 350 injuries, and 470 homes destroyed along a 16-mile path. Since then the area has taken an EF-1 in the August 10, 2020 derecho, damage during the record 32-tornado derecho of July 15, 2024, and repeated large hail. Roofs built here need to be specified for that, not for average conditions.
Every installation comes with two separate written warranties.
It can, if the damage is documented correctly. Functional hail damage to asphalt shingles typically starts around one inch, and reports in this town in March 2026 ran from one inch to an inch and a half. The problem is that bruising leaves no hole, so it is easy to overlook unless someone photographs it slope by slope with the date. That documentation gives your adjuster something concrete to price against. What the carrier pays is their decision, not ours.
Within a few days. Most policies expect prompt reporting and reasonable steps to prevent further damage once you are aware of it, and hail bruising becomes harder to attribute to a specific storm as time passes. An inspection also tells you when there is nothing wrong, which is worth knowing before a door-knocker convinces you otherwise.
Yes. Only about three percent of local housing predates 1940, and most of it sits in and around the historic downtown district on Lockport Street, which was added to the National Register in 2013. Those buildings bring steeper pitches, low-slope rear sections, and masonry details that a standard subdivision tear-off approach handles badly. We quote them as their own kind of job.
One day for most homes here, despite their size. A typical two-story with architectural asphalt is a same-day tear-off and rebuild with a full crew. Steeper pitches, multiple existing layers, complex rooflines, or premium materials extend it to two to five days, and we tell you which category you are in before we start.
Size, pitch, material, and deck condition set the price, and homes here are larger than the regional average, so square footage matters more than usual. We measure the actual roof, inspect what is under the old one, and hand you an itemized figure with financing options rather than a guess over the phone.
Once a year, plus after every significant hail or wind event. In a town with this storm record, annual inspection is how you catch a small flashing failure before it becomes a ceiling repair, and it builds a dated history of your roof that makes any future claim much easier to substantiate.
