Roofing Services in Homer Glen

Adept Construction is a family-owned roofing contractor that has repaired and replaced roofs on homes and businesses in Homer Glen, Illinois, and the surrounding areas since 1997. Homer Glen is served from our Downers Grove office at 6509 Hathaway Ln, about 12.6 miles and 21 minutes away by I-355 and 143rd Street, and we handle roof repair, roof replacement, storm damage, flat roofs and commercial roofing across the village.

Homer Glen is a village of about 24,500 people (2020 Census) in Will County, with a small portion in Cook County. It was incorporated in 2001, and many of its homes sit among mature trees, so downed limbs after storms and moss on shaded roofs are two of the problems we see most often here.

Choosing the right roofing company is important, and at Adept Construction, we have the experience you’re looking for. We work with each client throughout every step of the project to ensure that you are completely happy with the finished roof. No matter what kind of roof you are interested in, turn to a team of roofing contractors you can trust by turning to Adept Construction.

Types of Roofs We Offer in Homer Glen

At Adept Construction, we specialize in four main types of roofs:

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingle roofs are the most affordable option, and they’re also available in many different colors and styles, so it’s easy to find something you like that matches your home or business. Asphalt shingle roofs are low maintenance and offer a long lifespan, so you’re getting a great value. These shingles are made of a glass fiber reinforcing mat that has been coated with asphalt. The asphalt makes each shingle waterproof, and it sticks to the glass fiber mat with the help of mineral fillers.

Cedar Roofing

Cedar roofs are incredibly durable and great looking. They are installed using either cedar shakes, which are split or sawn by hand and provide a rustic look, or cedar shingles, which are thin milled pieces of cedar and provide a more uniform look. When it comes to maintenance, cedar roofs offer the option of replacing individual pieces rather than the whole roof.

Composite Roofing

Composite roofs are considered a more environmentally friendly option because they are made up of a combination of recycled materials and plastics. They are available in many different colors and styles, and they can even mimic the look of slate or wood roofs. Best of all, they require virtually no maintenance.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofs have to be covered with waterproof membranes, which are typically made from EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen. Slopes can be created on flat roofs using rigid, tapered insulation, and the waterproof membranes are either torch applied, mechanically fastened or adhered using an adhesive.

Our Homer Glen Project: Cedar Shake to Brava Composite Shake

On a brick contemporary home in Homer Glen, Adept Construction removed worn natural cedar shakes and installed Brava Composite Cedar Shake, a synthetic shake made from recycled materials. The before photos were taken in August 2024 and the job was finished by June 2025.

  • The problem: the cedar had turned dark and patchy, with moss and algae on the sections shaded by mature trees and many shakes cupped or split at the corners.
  • The fix: the crew removed the old cedar, installed the composite shake and wrapped the corners and edges with matching composite shake.
  • Why composite: it keeps the hand-split cedar look without the regular treatments natural cedar needs. Brava rates it Class 4 for impact and backs it with a limited 50-year warranty that includes hail.

Roof Repair in Homer Glen

We offer roof repair in Homer Glen, in addition to installation services. Our local roofers can repair asphalt shingle, cedar shake, flat or composite roofs, helping you reduce the need for future maintenance and extending the lifetime of your roof.

If your roof is leaking now, see our roof leak repair service; we tarp active leaks, usually within 24 hours. Overflowing or pulled-away gutters can also push water under the roof edge, so we check them too and handle gutter repair and replacement.

If roof repair isn’t enough to restore your roof, we can provide roof replacement services based on the styles that we offer.

Homer Glen Roof Permits and Contractor Registration

Yes, the Village of Homer Glen requires a permit to replace a roof. The Village’s permit process page lists roofing among the work that needs a permit, and roof permits use the Village’s Miscellaneous (Roofing, Siding, Windows, Doors, HVAC) application. Permits are submitted by email to the Building Department or in person, and smaller projects may be reviewed in under 10 business days.

  • A copy of the contract. The roof permit application asks for a copy of the contract and, for roof permits only, a copy of the driver’s license, plus the owner and contractor names, the work and the total cost.
  • A contractor registered with the Village. All contractors working in Homer Glen must be registered with the Village when a permit is required, and the Village’s contractor registration page says no permits will be issued if the contractor is not registered.
  • Your HOA’s approval. The application says it is the property owner’s responsibility to get the homeowners association’s approval, if the home has one.
  • The 2024 codes. Effective May 1, 2025, the Building Department enforces the 2024 International Residential Code and the 2024 Energy Conservation Code with Illinois amendments.
  • Inspections and work hours. Most miscellaneous permits need only a final inspection. Construction is allowed Monday to Saturday 7 AM to 7 PM, and Sundays and legal holidays 8:30 AM to 5 PM.

Homeowner tip: the Village’s Before You Hire a Contractor page tells residents to make sure a contractor is registered in Homer Glen, to get the estimate and contract in writing, and to see the building permit before work starts and post it until the Village has inspected the work. Ask any roofer you’re considering to show you their Homer Glen registration and their Illinois roofing license. Adept Construction holds Illinois Roofing License No. 104.011123, issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

Hail, Wind and Storm Damage Roof Repair in Homer Glen

Yes, Adept Construction repairs hail, wind and storm damage on Homer Glen roofs and helps with the insurance claim from the first inspection on. On July 27, 2026, the National Weather Service in Chicago logged 1.25-inch hail 3 miles northwest of Homer Glen, a measured 60 mph gust just north of the village and a 10-foot limb down near 143rd Street and Parker Road. On August 11, 2026, an NWS survey confirmed an EF-1 tornado with peak winds near 105 mph about 3 miles southeast of Homer Glen, and trees came down across the southern part of the village. During the June 10, 2026 derecho, a weather station just west-northwest of Homer Glen measured a 70 mph gust.

  1. Free storm inspection. We check the shingles or shakes, flashing, vents, skylights and gutters for hail bruising, lifted or missing pieces and limb damage.
  2. Emergency tarping. If the roof is open or leaking, we tarp it, usually within 24 hours.
  3. Photos and a written scope. We document the damage and write an itemized scope your insurer can work from.
  4. Adjuster meeting. We meet your insurance adjuster on site when you ask us to.
  5. Repair or replacement. Once the claim is approved, we make the permanent repair or, if the damage is widespread, a full roof replacement.

The Village warns residents about contractors who claim to represent their insurance company. Your insurer sends its own adjuster; a roofer works for you. After a storm, call our Downers Grove office at (630) 964-8708 or see how our storm damage roof repair process works.

How a Homer Glen Roof Project Works

  1. Call or book online. Call our Downers Grove office at (630) 964-8708 or book a free roof inspection. We call back to set a time, usually within one business day.
  2. Free roof inspection. We inspect the roof, check the decking, flashing and gutters, look for moss and limb damage under the trees, and explain what we find, including what doesn’t need work.
  3. Written, itemized estimate. You get the price in writing, item by item, before any work starts.
  4. HOA approval and Village permit. You get your homeowners association’s approval if your home has one, and the Village of Homer Glen issues the roof permit, which goes up on site before work starts.
  5. Tear-off and installation. Our crew removes the old roof, repairs any damaged decking and installs the new roof during the Village’s construction hours.
  6. Final inspection, cleanup and warranty. The Village does its final inspection, the crew cleans up the site, and you get the manufacturer’s warranty and Adept’s 10-year workmanship warranty in writing.

…and leaking) for furnace vent, installed new vents on the roof for bathroom and Kitchen range hood, and enlarged soffit vents to fix poor attic ventilation.
Gerry came out and did an estimate the next day after I called. Among all the roofers we talked to, he was our favorite. He understood our concerns about each item we wanted to work on and the solutions he provided chimed in with the way we preferred to resolve the problems. His quote was not the lowest nor the highest, but had a reasonable price that we felt comfortable to pay and believed the project could be done well at. Also his quote was detailed, showing the process they were gonna perform and materials they were gonna use, as well as the price for each item. So we could decide what item we wanted do this time and easily figured out the total cost of them (The quote suggested to replace the gutter which was really old. But we decided to do it next time when replacing the roof). He and his office were responsive to my emails when I had questions about the quote. After I signed the contract, Gerry and two of his guys came out within a week. The two contractors worked the whole day and finished everything! It has been 1.5 months since then. We went through several storms. We don't see any leak so far. They did a good job!
