Your local roofing experts in Waukegan, IL. From inspections to full replacements, we handle it all.
Our licensed Illinois crews provide a complete range of roofing services for Waukegan homeowners and businesses.
Not ready for a full replacement? Roof coatings add 10 to 15 years of life to flat and low-slope systems while cutting cooling costs with reflective technology. A smart, cost-effective solution.
Slate and tile roofs demand expert hands. Our trained craftsmen source matching materials and use traditional techniques that honor the beauty and longevity these premium roofing systems are known for.
After a hailstorm, a professional inspection is critical. We find damage that adjusters miss — granule loss, hairline cracks, dented flashing — and handle your insurance claim from start to finish.
Your business depends on a reliable roof. We provide commercial roofing services — TPO, EPDM, metal, and built-up systems — with the scheduling flexibility and minimal disruption your operation requires.
Roof emergency? Our 24/7 crews arrive fast to secure storm damage, fallen tree impacts, and sudden failures. We stabilize your property first, then deliver a permanent repair you can count on.
Specialized repair for TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up flat roofing systems. We fix ponding issues, membrane tears, seam failures, and flashing problems unique to low-slope roofs.
Thorough roof inspections that catch hidden issues before they become expensive problems. Ideal after storms, before buying or selling a home, or as part of routine maintenance.
Our waterproofing solutions go beyond basic repair. We apply advanced membrane and sealant systems that create an impenetrable moisture barrier, protecting your property and extending roof life by years.
Leaking skylight? We repair failed seals, cracked glass, condensation problems, and damaged flashing to restore your skylight to watertight condition while preserving the natural light you love.
Ice dams cause serious damage when ignored. Our crews use professional steam equipment to remove them safely — no hammering that damages shingles — and install preventive measures to stop them from returning.
From missing shingles to persistent leaks, our repair crews pinpoint the issue and deliver a lasting fix. We use matching materials and proven techniques so the repair blends in and holds up.
Repair and maintenance for asphalt shingle roofs — the most common roofing material in America. We fix curling, cracking, missing shingles, and granule loss to restore protection and curb appeal.
Loose panels, failing fasteners, or rust spots on your metal roof? We bring the specialized skills and materials needed to restore your standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle system to peak condition.
When repair is no longer enough, our replacement crews strip your old roof to the deck, inspect every board, and install a premium new system engineered to protect your home for 30 to 50 years.
Eliminate gutter clogs for good. We install premium leaf protection systems — micro-mesh, reverse-curve, or screen — professionally fitted to your existing gutters for years of maintenance-free performance.
Rotted or damaged soffit and fascia compromise your roof edge and invite pests into your attic. Our crews replace damaged sections with durable materials that protect your home and look great.
When severe weather hits, our storm damage crews respond fast — securing your property, documenting all damage for insurance, and restoring your roof with quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
Precision leak detection and permanent repair for active roof leaks. We trace the source using visual inspection, then fix the root cause — not just the symptom — so the leak never comes back.
High winds lift shingles, tear flashing, and expose underlayment to the elements. Our wind damage crews repair every affected area and provide detailed documentation to support your insurance claim.
Metal roofing is the ultimate long-term investment. We install standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle systems with proper underlayment, fastening, and flashing for decades of maintenance-free performance.

See what our customers have to say about their experience with JC Roofing and Gutters.
"Roof was damaged by hail and I had no idea where to start with the insurance claim. The team came out, documented everything, and even met with the adjuster on-site. They supplemented the claim when the initial estimate was too low and got it approved. Made the whole process painless. New roof installed in two days."
"JC Roofing responded promptly to our quote request. Arrived as scheduled for both estimate and installation. Professional in all interaction. We got quotes from 5 companies. They weren't the cheapest or the most expensive but they were able to schedule the job the soonest at a fair price. The work was completed in less than 4 hours and looks like it was part of the original build."
"We had a skylight that leaked every time it rained hard. Got it replaced along with the flashing and surrounding shingles. The crew was meticulous about sealing everything properly. That was eight months and dozens of rainstorms ago — bone dry every time. Should have called sooner."
