Top 10 Roofing Companies
in Joliet, IL
Joliet writes the roof spec into code: ice-and-water shield at every eave and valley, solid sheathing required. That means you can demand both by pointing at the ordinance rather than paying for them as upgrades. We checked every contractor below against state licensing and city registration.
Our Methodology
How We Choose the Best Roofers in Joliet
Joliet is one of the more homeowner-friendly roofing markets in the Chicago metro, for three reasons most local guides never mention. The city writes specific roof requirements into code rather than leaving them to the contractor: ice and water shield must be installed along all eave edges and in all valleys, and solid sheathing is required. City contractor registration is mandatory before a permit is issued but costs nothing and requires no form for roofing, so a contractor without it made a choice. And under Section 8-36 of the city ordinance, the contractor must pull the permit, not you.
That combination gives you leverage. We verified Illinois roofing licences through IDFPR, weighted longevity and continuous local operation heavily, compared warranty and payment terms, and looked at review substance rather than headline averages. Joliet also runs cheaper than its neighbours: contractor overhead in Will County is lower, so labor here comes in roughly 5 percent below Aurora and further below Chicago proper. Joliet’s older housing stock near the historic core includes slate and clay tile, and the city’s code explicitly permits careful reinstallation of those materials, so we flagged which contractors have genuine sheet metal and tile capability rather than asphalt-only crews.
The Full List
Top 10 Roofing Companies in Joliet
J.L. Adler Roofing and Sheet Metal
Founded in 1926, J.L. Adler is the oldest roofing company in this market by a wide margin — a century of continuous operation in Joliet, and the only contractor on this list that predates the Depression. They meet the criteria established by the National Roofing Contractors Association and combine roofing with in-house sheet metal fabrication, which matters more in Joliet than most places. The city’s code permits reinstallation of slate, clay, and cement tile provided damaged pieces are discarded and new ones integrated for a uniform appearance, and older homes near the historic core carry exactly those materials plus custom flashing details that a shingle-only crew cannot fabricate. If your Joliet home is pre-war, this is where to start. Ask for a current project reference on a house of similar age.
Pros & Cons
Anderson and Shah Roofing
Anderson and Shah has served Joliet and the surrounding area since 1980, giving them 45 years of continuous local operation. Their core business is commercial, industrial, and institutional roofing — schools, churches, municipal and light industrial buildings — alongside siding and window replacement. That commercial grounding is worth understanding rather than dismissing. Contractors who spend most of their time on flat and low-slope commercial systems tend to be meticulous about drainage, membrane detailing, and flashing, because on a commercial roof those are the only things standing between the building and a claim. If your Joliet home has a flat porch roof, an addition with a low-slope section, or persistent valley problems, that experience transfers directly.
Pros & Cons
Promar Exteriors
Promar has been a leading roofing company in Joliet since 2000, operating as a family owned and operated home exterior remodeling business. Twenty-five years in one market with the same family behind it is a meaningful signal, and their residential focus makes them a more natural fit than the commercially-weighted contractors above if your project is a straightforward house reroof. Their scope covers the full exterior rather than roofing alone, which is useful when hail or wind damages roof and siding together and you would rather run one contract and one insurance line item than coordinate two trades. Ask specifically about their workmanship warranty term in years so you can compare it directly against the rest of your quotes.
Pros & Cons
H and H Roofing
H and H Roofing competes on two terms that are unusually concrete. First, payment: they state you pay nothing until you are 100 percent satisfied with the work. In roofing that is an exposed position, and it functions as a practical guarantee in a way that vague quality language does not. Second, availability: they are open 6AM to 9PM seven days a week, which no other contractor on this list matches and which matters when a leak appears on a Sunday evening. They install architectural shingles from CertainTeed and other major brands, and are licensed, bonded, and insured. Reviewers describe multi-year relationships, using them first for minor repairs and later for full replacement — the pattern you want to see, since it means earlier work held up.
Pros & Cons
Capa Construction LLC
Capa Construction is a 5-star rated, fully insured contractor serving Joliet and the surrounding communities across roofing, siding, windows, and exterior doors. Two things make them worth a quote. They offer emergency roofing service, which is the specific capability you need when storm damage leaves a home exposed and the insurance claim will take weeks to process — getting the building dried in cannot wait for an adjuster. And their Google-verified reviews describe whole-project experiences spanning multiple trades, with homeowners noting work that went beyond the original scope to solve problems properly. For a Joliet homeowner combining a reroof with window or siding replacement, the single-contractor route is genuinely simpler.
Pros & Cons
D.X.M. Enterprises, Inc.
D.X.M. Enterprises is a family-owned and operated business based in Joliet, founded in 2010 but backed by more than thirty years of trade experience. They emphasise quality and safety on every job regardless of size, and that last part is worth noting: many replacement-focused contractors quietly decline small repairs, leaving a homeowner with a single failed flashing detail unable to find anyone willing to come out for it. A contractor who takes the small job is also the contractor you can call in year three when a shingle lifts. Being genuinely Joliet-based rather than serving the city from Plainfield or Naperville also means shorter response times and a real stake in local reputation.
Pros & Cons
HEC Insulation and Roofing
HEC is the only contractor on this list combining roofing with attic insulation, and in Joliet that pairing addresses the actual cause of the problem rather than the symptom. Ice damming — the dominant winter roof failure in this climate, and the reason Joliet’s code mandates ice-and-water shield at every eave and valley — is driven by heat escaping into the attic, melting snow that then refreezes at the cold eave. A new roof over an under-insulated, poorly ventilated attic will ice dam again. HEC inspects insulation and upgrades attics to current code requirements alongside roofing work. Reviewers describe using them across two different homes and being kept informed throughout, and cite prompt, courteous, reasonably priced work with genuine attention to detail.
Pros & Cons
Mueller Roofing
Mueller Roofing consistently appears at the top of independent listings of Joliet roofing contractors, and roofing is the core business rather than one line within a broader remodeling operation. That focus is worth something on a straightforward replacement: a crew that does nothing but roofs all week is not learning on your house. For a homeowner building the three-bid comparison that every contractor on this page will tell you to build, Mueller is a reasonable inclusion alongside the longer-established firms ranked above. When you call, ask for the IDFPR licence number, confirm current City of Joliet registration, and ask whether the quote includes solid sheathing replacement if the existing decking turns out to be spaced boards.
Pros & Cons
Savage Roofing
Savage Roofing appears consistently among the top-listed roofing contractors serving Joliet homeowners on independent platforms, handling both repairs and full replacements. Joliet’s roofing market is unusually deep for a city of its size, with more than forty active contractors competing at noticeably lower price points than Naperville or the DuPage suburbs — which means you have room to be genuinely selective rather than taking the first available crew. Use Savage as a third or fourth quote. Whichever direction you go, get every bidder to confirm in writing that ice-and-water shield will run along all eaves and all valleys, since Joliet code requires it and a quote omitting it is not compliant.
Pros & Cons
PACC Solutions LLC
PACC Solutions is included specifically for insurance-funded storm work rather than as a general recommendation. Homeowners across Will County and the neighbouring DuPage suburbs describe hail damage replacements handled with professionalism and integrity, the company working closely with the insurer to keep the claim moving, and consistent updates at every stage. That last part is the differentiator. The most common complaint in insurance-funded roofing is not poor workmanship but information blackout — weeks of silence while contractor and adjuster negotiate, with the homeowner unable to learn what is happening to their own claim. Note this is a regional operator serving the wider Chicago southwest rather than a Joliet-rooted firm, so you trade local accountability for claims depth.

Ratings are drawn from the platform noted on each contractor card and were current as of August 2026. Where a dash appears, no independently verified aggregate rating or founding date was published at the time of writing — those companies are included on the strength of documented review sentiment, specialist capability, or local track record rather than a star average. Verify every contractor’s IDFPR licence at idfpr.illinois.gov and confirm current City of Joliet registration before signing.
Joliet Specific
Two Things Joliet Code Requires That You Should Not Pay Extra For
Joliet publishes specific roofing requirements, and two of them change how you read a quote. First, ice and water shield must be properly installed along all eave edges and in all valleys. In most cities this is an upgrade a contractor sells you. In Joliet it is code, so a quote that lists it as an optional add-on is quoting you for compliance. Second, solid sheathing is now required — meaning if your older Joliet home has spaced or board decking, it must be replaced with solid sheathing rather than having shingles laid over the gaps. That is a real cost, but it is not optional and it is far better to have it priced in the original quote than to discover it as a change order after tear-off. Ask every bidder to state in writing that both are included, and ask what happens to the price if the decking turns out to be spaced boards. For slate, clay, or cement tile, Joliet permits reinstallation provided damaged pieces are discarded and new tiles are integrated for a uniform appearance.
Special Situation
Best for Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
PACC Solutions draws consistent praise across Will County for hail damage replacements handled with proactive claim updates, which addresses the real failure mode in insurance roofing — not bad workmanship, but weeks of silence while contractor and adjuster negotiate. Capa Construction offers emergency roofing service, which is what you actually need first when storm damage leaves a home exposed and the claim will take weeks. Before calling anyone: photograph the damage yourself with timestamps, request your own copy of the adjuster’s scope of loss rather than relying on a contractor summary, and never sign a contract assigning your claim benefits to the contractor. Verify the IDFPR licence and confirm current City of Joliet registration — and remember the contractor must pull the permit under city ordinance, so anyone telling you the job can start immediately after a storm is describing unpermitted work.
Buyer’s Guide
How to Choose a Roofing Contractor in Joliet
Joliet’s free contractor registration, its contractor-pulls-the-permit ordinance, its specific roofing code requirements, and a 10-business-day permit timeline give you a checklist that looks different from neighbouring cities.
Two Credentials, One of Them Free
Check the Illinois IDFPR licence at idfpr.illinois.gov — the nine-digit 104 number must appear on their contract and advertising by law. Then confirm current City of Joliet registration. Joliet charges nothing for it and requires no form for roofing, so a contractor working here without it is not saving money, they are avoiding a record. Ask for both.
They Pull the Permit, Not You
Section 8-36 of the Joliet Code of Ordinances requires the contractor to pull the permit when a contractor is doing the work. If someone asks you to pull it yourself, they are asking you to do something the ordinance assigns to them — usually because they are not registered and cannot. That single request tells you to keep looking. All subcontractors must also be listed on the permit application.
Get the Code Items in the Quote
Ice-and-water shield at all eaves and all valleys, plus solid sheathing, are Joliet code requirements rather than upgrades. Make every bidder confirm both in writing. This also makes quotes genuinely comparable: a cheaper bid that quietly omits the eave and valley shield is not cheaper, it is non-compliant, and you will find out during inspection or the first hard winter.
Budget Two Weeks for the Permit
Joliet estimates 10 business days to process a roofing permit, and no legitimate contractor starts before it is issued. So a contractor promising to start next week either has the permit already or is planning to work without one. Factor the timeline into your planning, particularly in autumn when everyone is racing the first freeze and the queue is longest.
