As your roofing company in Joliet, Storm Guard works on owner-occupied homes, apartment and rental buildings, and low-slope commercial roofs, plus the gutters and siding that go with each.
Our residential roofing in Joliet runs from complex hip and dormer roofs on the bluff, where valleys and turrets take on the most water, to simpler tear-offs on west side subdivision homes.
Industrial land covers about a tenth of this city. Our commercial roofing in Joliet covers warehouse, retail, and institutional buildings in TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen, along with apartment buildings and rental portfolios.
We maintain, repair, and install gutter systems on homes where the original gutters are undersized for the roof above them, a common issue on the older streets near downtown.
We install and repair siding that stands up to wind-driven rain and suits the architecture of the house, from bungalows to Victorian-era homes.
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.
Downburst winds have torn an entire roof off a downtown building here. If storm damage opens up your roof, call us and we will secure an emergency tarp before the next rain.
Joliet has more than one kind of roof, and we staff for all of them: about four in ten homes predate 1970, a quarter of housing is rented, and warehouses line the interstate corridors. On July 15, 2024 the National Weather Service confirmed a tornado that snapped wooden power poles near Larkin Avenue. A roof inspection shows where your roof stands, and our crews handle the storm damage roof repair themselves. Call (630) 216-8297.
The process is the same in Joliet whether we are on a bungalow, a rental fourplex, or a warehouse roof: inspect, price in writing, install, clean up.
We begin with a complete professional inspection and photo record, checking valleys, dormer flashing, and the low-slope tie-ins where two eras of roofing meet.
Our Joliet roofing contractors give you an itemized estimate that a homeowner, lender, or property manager can read without translation.
We tear off, repair the deck, and install a complete system matched to the roof: shingles on steep slopes, welded or adhered membrane on flat ones.
Final walkthrough, magnet sweep, debris removal, and a documented job file. Commercial clients also receive warranty registration and maintenance guidance.
Architectural asphalt covers most homes here, and metal and standing seam systems handle low-pitch sections and many commercial buildings.
As your go-to roofer in Joliet, we work on every kind of roof this city has, with roof replacement in Joliet for pre-war homes, west side subdivisions, apartment buildings, and low-slope commercial property. Call us today for a consultation.
Yes. Commercial and industrial property is a core part of our work in Joliet, where industrial land alone covers about a tenth of the city. We install and service TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems, run roof surveys and maintenance programs, and work on apartment and mixed-use buildings as well as single-tenant industrial.
Start from the ground, with binoculars if you have them, and call for an inspection instead of climbing up.
The condition of the roof surface decides it more than age alone.
Yes. On May 23, 2020 the National Weather Service recorded an entire roof blown off a building onto Jefferson Street near the downtown ballpark, from downburst winds estimated at 75 to 95 mph. During the July 15, 2024 derecho, a confirmed tornado snapped power poles near Larkin Avenue and damaged a church near Louis Joliet Mall.
Every installation includes two written warranties, residential or commercial.
On commercial systems, we also register the warranty and provide a maintenance schedule to keep it valid.
Large enough to damage shingles more than once in 2026. Golf-ball-size hail fell at Rockdale and just south of Ingalls Park on March 31, and three-inch hail fell just west of the city on July 27. Hail rarely punches through a roof. It bruises the shingle and knocks granules loose, which shortens the roof's life without leaving obvious marks.
Yes. About a quarter of homes in Joliet are renter-occupied, so we do this often. We give notice before work starts, keep entries and parking open, phase multi-building jobs, and send owners written progress updates.
Twice a year, in spring and fall, plus after major storms. Drains, seams, and flashing on a low-slope roof need checking before and after winter, and many membrane warranties require regular maintenance to stay in force.
At the transitions. Flashing, valleys, and the joints around chimneys and skylights fail long before the open field of shingles does. On the Victorian-era homes on the bluff, turrets and dormers add more of those joints, which is why we inspect them closely.
A day for most single-family homes. Steep or complex historic roofs, several existing layers, or premium materials usually take two to five days. Commercial low-slope projects are scheduled by section so the building stays open.
Square footage, pitch, material, deck condition, and access all affect the price, and a warehouse membrane roof is a different job from a bungalow tear-off. We measure the roof, inspect what is under it, and give you an itemized price instead of a phone estimate.
