Frequently Asked Roofing Questions In Joliet, Illinois

How much does roofing labor cost in Joliet, Illinois compared to nearby areas?

Weather & Climate Considerations

How does Joliet, Illinois's weather affect roof lifespan?

Joliet’s weather shortens roof life: roughly 36 inches rain yearly, about 35 inches snow, frequent freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams, hot humid summers with strong UV, average winds around 10 to 12 mph with occasional severe gusts and hail, and being inland means less lake effect but notable storm wear, accelerating shingle and flashing deterioration.

What is the most common cause of roof damage in Joliet, Illinois?

In Joliet the most common cause of roof damage is severe weather, especially spring and summer hail and high winds from Midwest thunderstorms, with winter snow and ice dams and falling limbs from mature street and Will County forest preserve trees adding frequent local damage.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Joliet, Illinois?

In Joliet, replacing a roof is best late spring to early fall, roughly May through September, with June and early September ideal for moderate temps and fewer freeze-thaw issues common in Will County, avoid winter snow, ice and peak summer storm windows, and schedule early because local roofers book fast.

Insurance & Storms

Claims peak April through September, and older roofs in downtown and west Joliet see more damage, with insurers reporting spikes after major hailstorms or derecho events.
