Roofing Built for Illinois Weather — Hail, Wind, Ice, and Everything In Between

Every Illinois roof faces three things almost every year: hail in spring and summer, straight-line wind after a warm front, and ice damming when winter thaws. A roof that only survives one of those is a roof that fails in 12 years instead of 30. We build for all three from the deck up.

Post-Storm? Start Here.

If you're on this page because a storm just came through Channahon, Joliet, or anywhere in Will County — call us for a free damage inspection before you call your insurance company. We'll tell you whether the damage qualifies for a claim, document it for the adjuster, and only then help you file. Roofs that "look fine" from the ground often have thousands of dollars of hail bruising the shingle mat.

Asphalt Shingle Brands We Install

GAF Timberline HDZ. Our most-installed shingle. The LayerLock nailing zone gives us a wider strike area for cleaner installs, and the WindProven limited wind warranty has no maximum wind speed when installed with the full GAF system. Ideal for the wind exposure west of Joliet.

Owens Corning Duration. SureNail technology and a 130-mph wind warranty out of the box. Excellent color range — the Estate Gray and Driftwood colors match Will County's newer subdivisions naturally.

CertainTeed Landmark. A dependable architectural shingle at a slightly lower price point, with the widest color library of the three. Good option for HOAs with restrictive palettes.

What Goes Into a Royal Restoration Roof

• Full tear-off to the decking on replacements (no shingle-overs — Illinois hail season doesn't reward shortcuts).
• Deck inspection and replacement of any rotted or delaminated OSB.
• Ice & water shield on eaves, valleys, and around every penetration (critical for the ice-damming risk zone we're in).
• Synthetic underlayment across the field — no felt.
• New drip edge, step flashing, and pipe boots on every job.
• Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation — most roof failures we see started as ventilation failures.
• Full magnetic yard sweep at the end of each day.
• Lifetime workmanship warranty in writing.

Ice Damming: The Slow-Motion Roof Killer

Every winter in Will County we get called out to homes where meltwater has backed up under shingles, saturated the sheathing, and dripped through ceilings. Ice dams are almost always a ventilation and insulation problem, not a shingle problem. When we replace your roof, we address the underlying cause — not just the symptoms.
