Homer Glen isn't your typical suburb -- and roofing here demands more than a typical approach. From the sprawling custom-built homes along Parker Road to the mature oak canopies near Heritage Park and the wooded half-acre lots scattered throughout Homer Township, this community blends rural charm with residential sophistication. Overhanging branches, steep custom rooflines, and carefully cultivated landscapes mean your roofing contractor needs to think beyond just shingles. AJ Roofing brings the planning, precision, and property respect that Homer Glen homeowners deserve.
Based just minutes away in Orland Park at 16308 S. 107th Ave, Suite #5, we've worked on homes throughout the 159th Street corridor, the neighborhoods bordering Lemont, and the quieter stretches near Goodings Grove. We know that Homer Glen properties often feature complex roof designs with multiple valleys, dormers, and steep pitches that require experienced crews. As a division of AJ Exteriors, we also handle siding, soffit, and fascia -- so when your roofing project reveals exterior needs, you have one trusted team managing it all rather than juggling multiple contractors.
Custom Home Roofing Specialists
Homer Glen's custom-built homes deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our crews are experienced with complex rooflines -- steep pitches, multiple hip lines, turrets, and wide open valleys that are common in the area's architect-designed homes. We select premium GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration shingles in profiles and colors that complement the natural surroundings and stone or cedar exteriors typical of Homer Glen properties. See our complete roofing system.
Landscaping Protection Protocol
Your mature trees, ornamental beds, and native plantings aren't just decoration -- they're part of why you chose Homer Glen. Before a single shingle comes off, we map out protection zones: plywood runners over garden beds, tarps under every work area, and strategic dumpster placement to avoid root zones and driveways. Our crews practice careful debris management so your property looks as good after the job as your new roof does.
Complete Exterior Solutions
As a division of AJ Exteriors, we offer something most roofers can't -- a single contractor for your entire home exterior. Many Homer Glen homes pair roofing projects with siding replacement, soffit and fascia repairs, or seamless gutter installation. Bundling these services saves you money, shortens your project timeline, and ensures every exterior component works together for lasting weather protection. Learn about our gutter services.
Additional Roofing Services in Homer Glen
Storm Damage Response
Homer Glen's tall tree canopy and open rural-suburban exposure make it particularly susceptible to wind-driven branch damage and hail. After a storm, we provide same-day inspections with detailed photo documentation and work directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure nothing is overlooked. Learn about our storm damage services.
Roof Inspections & Maintenance
Homes surrounded by mature trees accumulate debris in valleys and around chimneys faster than homes in open subdivisions. Our 21-point inspection identifies moss growth, trapped moisture, clogged valleys, and compromised flashing before small issues turn into expensive repairs. We recommend annual inspections for Homer Glen's heavily wooded lots.
Seamless Gutter Systems
With Homer Glen's dense tree cover, functioning gutters are essential. We custom-fabricate seamless aluminum gutters on-site and install heavy-duty leaf guards specifically designed for properties with significant leaf and pine needle accumulation. Proper gutter systems protect your foundation from the water runoff that wooded lots generate. View gutter options.
Frequently Asked Questions: Roofing in Homer Glen
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Homer Glen?
Yes. Homer Township and Will County require a building permit for roof replacements. AJ Roofing handles the entire permit application, fee, and final inspection process on your behalf -- it's included in our standard service at no extra charge. We're familiar with the local code requirements and ensure every installation passes inspection the first time.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Homer Glen?
Homer Glen homes tend to be larger than average, and many feature custom-designed rooflines with steeper pitches, multiple valleys, and architectural details that add complexity. For a typical 2,200-2,800 sq. ft. Homer Glen home with architectural shingles, homeowners generally invest between $11,000 and $20,000. Custom homes with steep pitches or premium materials can range higher. We provide free, itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for. See our 2026 cost guide.
Can trees near my home cause roof damage?
Absolutely -- and this is one of the most common issues we see on Homer Glen properties. Overhanging branches scrape and wear down shingles during wind events. Fallen leaves and pine needles trap moisture in valleys and along eaves, promoting moss and algae growth that deteriorates roofing material over time. Acorns and small branches accumulate in gutters, causing backups. We recommend keeping branches trimmed at least 6 feet from the roofline and scheduling annual roof inspections if your home sits under a heavy canopy.
How do you protect my landscaping during a roofing project?
We take landscaping protection seriously, especially in Homer Glen where homeowners invest heavily in their outdoor spaces. Our crew places plywood sheets over garden beds and shrubs, lays tarps beneath all work zones, positions the dumpster on the driveway (never the lawn), and uses magnetic nail sweepers across your entire yard after completion. We walk the property with you after every job to confirm everything is clean and undamaged.
Can AJ Roofing also handle my siding or other exterior work?
Yes. AJ Roofing is a division of AJ Exteriors, which means we handle roofing, siding, soffit, fascia, and gutters under one roof -- so to speak. For Homer Glen homeowners tackling a full exterior renovation, this means one project manager, one crew, one timeline, and one warranty. It also means we can coordinate your roofing and siding colors and materials for a cohesive look that complements your home's natural setting.
