Lemont's unique geography -- nestled in the Des Plaines River Valley with its dramatic bluffs and rolling terrain -- gives the village a character all its own. From the historic limestone buildings along Stephen Street to the family neighborhoods near Old Quarry Park and the newer communities along 127th Street, Lemont homes face distinctive weather challenges that demand a roofing contractor with local knowledge.
AJ Roofing serves Lemont with the same dedication we bring to our Orland Park neighbors. The valley geography can funnel wind and intensify storm effects, making Lemont particularly vulnerable during severe weather events. We provide rapid storm response, honest damage assessments, and high-quality repairs and replacements that protect your home for decades. Our team is experienced with Village of Lemont building codes and handles all permitting and inspections on your behalf.

Roof Inspections & Assessments
Not sure about your roof's condition? We provide honest, detailed inspections with a written report and photos. If repairs can extend your roof's life, we'll recommend that over a full replacement. No sales pressure, just the facts.
Ice Dam Prevention
Lemont's valley microclimate can create conditions for ice dams, especially on north-facing slopes. We install enhanced ice & water shield coverage and ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent the freeze-thaw cycle that causes ice dams and interior water damage.
Gutters & Drainage
Lemont's terrain means proper water management is critical. We install seamless aluminum gutters and downspout systems that direct water away from your foundation, preventing erosion and basement moisture issues. View gutter options.
