Joliet is the largest city in Will County and one of the most storm-tested cities in the Chicago suburbs. Will County consistently ranks among the most hail-active counties in northern Illinois, which means Joliet homeowners face a double challenge: roofs aging out on their own timeline and storm damage that accelerates that process without warning.
The housing stock here reflects the city’s history. Central and east Joliet are home to some of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Will County, with homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s. Many of those roofs are at or past their functional service life. On the west side, a surge of development in the 1990s and 2000s produced a large inventory of homes now hitting the 20 to 30 year replacement threshold. Either way, there are a lot of Joliet homeowners right now who are closer to a roofing decision than they realize.
Huuso Exteriors serves homeowners throughout Joliet and all surrounding Will County communities. Our residential roofing contractors are licensed (IL #104.019083), bonded, and insured, and every project is personally supervised on-site by one of our owners, Tim, Kevin, or Bryan Reifsteck. When you contact us, you work directly with the people who are accountable for the outcome.

A new roof is one of the most significant investments a Joliet homeowner makes, and the quality of the installation determines how well that investment holds up over the next two to three decades. Materials matter, but installation quality is what separates a roof that performs for 25 years from one that starts leaking at 12.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Huuso Exteriors can offer Duration Shingles with patented SureNail Technology and non-prorated warranty coverage up to 50 years. That certification is held by a select number of contractors in Joliet. It is not a marketing claim — it is a credential that requires meeting Owens Corning’s verified installation standards.
Our process starts before the first shingle goes down: a full inspection of the existing roof deck, removal and disposal of old materials, installation of ice and water shield at every vulnerable point, shingle installation to manufacturer specifications, and a final quality check by one of our owners. If we find rotted decking, ventilation problems, or failing flashing underneath, we fix it. We do not install new shingles on top of a compromised deck and call it a job.
We install premium shingles from Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, IKO, and Brava. Every option comes with the same owner-supervised installation and the same 10-year workmanship warranty.
Not every roofing call turns into a full replacement. Our Joliet roofers are experienced at diagnosing the difference between a roof that needs targeted repair and one where replacement is the smarter investment, and we will give you a straight answer either way.
We handle isolated leak repairs, missing and damaged shingle replacement, flashing and valley repairs, complete tear-offs, and full re-roofing. We also repair and replace gutters, fascia, soffits, and siding as part of a complete exterior solution, so one call handles the full scope of what the storm or time has done to your home.
If a $500 repair will buy your Joliet roof another five to seven years, we will tell you that and walk away from the bigger job. That is how we build the kind of trust that brings customers back and gets us referrals throughout Will County. Call 855-625-7663 for a straight assessment.
Will County is one of the most storm-active counties in northern Illinois, and Joliet homeowners know it. When a hail event comes through, it does not just damage the visible shingles — it bruises the granule layer, compromises the waterproofing, and starts a clock on your roof’s remaining life that most homeowners do not realize is running.
If a storm has hit your home and you are not sure what you are dealing with, call 855-625-7663 immediately. If water is actively entering the structure, we will dispatch a crew to tarp and stabilize the situation right away. We do not have office hours when your ceiling is leaking.
For damage assessments, our FAA-certified drone inspection capability means we can evaluate your roof safely without sending someone onto a wet or structurally unstable surface in dangerous post-storm conditions. We document everything: bruised and cracked shingles, dented metal flashing, damaged gutters and siding, any compromise to the underlying decking. You get a full picture of what happened to your home before you decide what to do about it.
If your situation warrants an insurance claim, we manage the entire process. Our founders spent 15+ years in the restoration industry before they started Huuso Exteriors. They have worked with insurance adjusters on thousands of claims throughout Illinois. We document the damage, file the claim, and advocate with your adjuster through every round until you receive the full coverage you are entitled to.
The inspection is free. We will never pressure you to file a claim or sign any document on the spot. You take the time you need, and we are here when you are ready.

Joliet sits at the intersection of I-80 and I-55, making it one of the most active logistics and warehousing corridors in the Midwest. The city is home to a massive concentration of distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and industrial properties, many of which carry large flat or low-slope commercial roofing systems that take significant punishment from Illinois weather year after year.
Huuso Exteriors handles commercial roofing throughout Joliet and Will County. Our commercial crews are experienced with TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, rubber, and built-up roofing systems, and we work with top manufacturers including GenFlex, Mule-Hide, and Firestone. Whether you manage a 50,000 square foot warehouse along the I-80 corridor or a smaller commercial property anywhere in Joliet, we deliver roofing solutions that protect your business and meet all City of Joliet building code requirements.
We understand that production schedules do not stop for roofing projects. Our crews work efficiently, coordinate around your operations, and do not leave your facility in a vulnerable state overnight. All permits are pulled before work begins. No shortcuts.
Our commercial services include 24-hour emergency repair, scheduled maintenance programs, full roof replacements, new construction installations, solar panel integration, and insurance claim assistance for storm-damaged commercial properties. Call 855-625-7663 to discuss your project.
Most Joliet roofing companies stop at the shingles. When a roof leak turns into water damage in your walls, when a storm takes out your siding along with your roof, when you need structural reconstruction after a severe event, they hand you off to someone else or leave you to coordinate multiple contractors on your own. We do not operate that way.
Tim, Kevin, and Bryan Reifsteck built one of the largest restoration and construction companies in the United States before they started Huuso Exteriors. That background means we carry capabilities that typical roofing contractors simply do not have. One call, one company, no gaps in accountability.
We install and repair James Hardie fiber cement siding (HardiePlank), LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, Variform vinyl, and Norandex vinyl throughout Joliet. Storm-damaged siding, aging siding that has reached the end of its service life, and full curb appeal upgrades are all work we handle. Every installation includes proper moisture barriers and flashing details. We match your existing profile and color exactly, or help you choose a new look. Every job is owner-supervised.
Our HUUSO brand replacement windows deliver the energy efficiency and durability Joliet homeowners want at pricing that significantly undercuts the national chains. Power Home Remodeling, Andersen, Pella — we have heard the quotes our customers received from all of them. Bring us any written quote and we will work to beat it. Our customers consistently report lower energy bills and no performance issues long after installation.
A roof failure does not stay in the attic. Water moves through drywall, insulation, floor joists, and subfloor faster than most homeowners realize, and if it is not addressed correctly, mold follows within 48 to 72 hours. Our restoration team handles the full scope: emergency tarping, moisture assessment, remediation, and rebuild, all under one roof. No coordinating between three separate contractors. No one pointing fingers when the scope gets complicated. We handle it.
From structural reconstruction after storm damage to planned home additions, our construction team manages these projects from permit application through final walkthrough. With decades of combined experience in large-scale restoration and construction, the Reifsteck brothers bring project management depth that goes well beyond what a roofing-only company can offer.

Every Huuso Exteriors crew operates under strict job site safety standards, and that applies to your property just as much as it applies to our employees. Before a shingle goes down, driveways, landscaping, and exterior fixtures are protected. Throughout the job, the site stays clean and organized. Overnight debris left on a customer’s property is not something we do.
When the job is complete, the entire yard is swept with industrial magnetic rollers to collect every nail and metal fragment before we leave. We do not assume everything landed in the tarps. Then one of our team walks the full property with you before the crew departs.
There is no shortage of roofing contractors in Will County. Here is what makes the difference when you are deciding who gets on your roof.
Kevin Reifsteck manages Huuso Exteriors’ Will County roofing operations and is your direct point of contact for all Joliet projects. He is a licensed roofing contractor (IL #104.019083), a U.S. military veteran, and someone who takes the work personally. Kevin does not manage jobs from an office. He is on job sites, checking installations, and making sure the standard is met.
Kevin has hands-on experience in residential roofing, commercial roofing, storm damage assessment, and insurance claim navigation throughout Will County and the greater Chicagoland area. When you contact Huuso Exteriors about your Joliet roof, Kevin handles your project from the initial free assessment through material selection, installation, and final inspection. If you have a question at any point in the process, you call him directly.
Call 855-625-7663 and ask for Kevin.
Huuso Exteriors is owned and operated by Tim Reifsteck, Kevin Reifsteck, and Bryan Reifsteck. Before founding Huuso, the three brothers built one of the largest restoration and construction companies in the United States. They chose the name Huuso because it means Honor, a principle they apply to every project, every customer interaction, and every business decision. Their mission is to bring affordable, high-quality roofing and exterior services to Joliet and the greater Chicagoland area without ever compromising on integrity or craftsmanship.
Huuso Exteriors has completed residential and commercial roofing projects throughout every part of Joliet. Our team understands the specific roofing challenges of each neighborhood, from the aging housing stock in the original city center to the newer suburban construction on the west side. We serve all Joliet ZIP codes: 60431, 60432, 60433, 60435, and 60436.
East Joliet and the original Joliet Township neighborhoods contain some of the oldest residential housing stock in Will County. Homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s are common throughout this area. Many have had only one roof replacement in their lifetime, and some are still on original or near-original roofing. If your home is in East Joliet and has not been professionally inspected in the past five years, you are overdue. A storm or a hard winter is not the way you want to discover what your roof’s condition actually is.
West Joliet saw significant residential development through the 1990s and into the 2000s, creating a large inventory of homes now entering the 20 to 30 year window where replacement becomes a live conversation. Curling shingles, granule loss showing up in gutters, and minor leaks after heavy rain are the early signs. If you are seeing any of them, call 855-625-7663 for a free assessment. Knowing where you stand now gives you options. Waiting until after the next storm does not.
Ingalls Park is one of Joliet’s established neighborhoods with mid-century home construction and mature tree cover throughout. Tree proximity creates specific roofing risks: physical shingle damage from branches, accelerated granule loss from debris accumulation, and gutter and flashing issues from seasonal organic buildup. Our FAA-certified drone inspection capability is particularly useful in neighborhoods like Ingalls Park, where we can assess the full roofline safely without the hazards that come with mature trees overhanging the structure.
The Black Road corridor has seen substantial residential and commercial development over the past two decades. Newer homes here have more recent roofing, but the open terrain common to this part of Will County means significant wind and hail exposure. We have completed multiple storm damage assessments and insurance-assisted roof replacements for homeowners along this corridor.
The Larkin neighborhood and surrounding central Joliet areas include historic residential construction with complex rooflines: hips, valleys, dormers, and older architectural features that require experienced roofers who know how to flash and seal non-standard structures correctly. Improper installation on these rooflines is the most common cause of recurring leaks we encounter in this part of the city. If you have had a leak patched more than once and it keeps coming back, the issue is almost certainly flashing, not shingles.
We serve homeowners in Rockdale, the south Joliet communities, and all surrounding Will County areas. No matter where you are in the Joliet area, we are a phone call away. Call 855-625-7663.
Will County is one of the most storm-active counties in northern Illinois. If your Joliet home was built before 2000 and you do not know when the roof was last replaced, schedule a free inspection before the next major storm event, not after. We have inspected Joliet roofs that homeowners had no idea were one hail storm away from interior damage. A free Huuso inspection takes 30 minutes. An insurance claim you were not prepared for takes months.
Not all hail creates a claimable insurance event. Generally, hail of one inch or larger causes functional damage to asphalt shingles. Smaller hail may create cosmetic damage that does not meet your insurance carrier’s threshold for a claim. We use FAA-certified drone inspection to document both functional and cosmetic damage accurately, so you know exactly what you have before deciding whether to file. We will never tell you to file a claim if the damage does not justify it.
After major storms in Will County, door-to-door roofing crews from out of state work through Joliet neighborhoods. Some of them carry Assignment of Benefits documents that transfer your insurance rights to the contractor. Do not sign anything at the door, regardless of what they promise. Call us first. A second opinion from a licensed Illinois contractor costs you nothing and protects the rights you have under your policy. Our number is 855-625-7663.
If a storm hits your Joliet home, start documenting before you call anyone. Wide shots of the full roof from ground level, close-up photos of individual damaged shingles, photos of all gutters and downspouts, and interior ceiling shots if any water has entered the home. Date-stamp everything using your phone’s camera. Do not send anything to your insurance company before speaking with us. We walk every customer through the documentation process at no charge and know exactly what adjusters need to see.
Before you let any roofer on your Joliet home, ask for their Illinois Roofing Contractor License number. Any legitimate contractor can produce it immediately. Ours is #104.019083. Any contractor who cannot produce a license number on the spot, who tells you permits are not required, or who asks you to pull the permit yourself is a contractor you should not hire. Huuso Exteriors pulls every required City of Joliet building permit and handles all inspections as part of our standard process.
We work exclusively with manufacturers whose products are backed by strong warranties, proven durability records, and the kind of performance that holds up in Will County’s weather conditions.
Our top recommendation for Joliet homeowners, especially given how frequently Will County gets hit by damaging hail. Malarkey shingles use NEX polymer modified asphalt technology for superior impact resistance, flexibility, and longevity above what standard asphalt delivers. Their latest products are also engineered to help reduce smog. For a city in one of Illinois’s most active hail corridors, Malarkey’s performance ratings are worth the conversation.

Most Joliet homeowners pay between $8,000 and $25,000 for a full asphalt shingle roof replacement, depending on roof size, pitch, material choice, and whether a full tear-off is required. City of Joliet and Will County permit costs are included in our project estimates. Premium Malarkey and Owens Corning systems fall at the higher end of that range. For storm-damaged roofs, we work directly with your insurance company to maximize your coverage. Call 855-625-7663 for a free on-site assessment with no obligation.
