Lockport is one of the oldest communities in Will County, with a downtown built around the I&M Canal and a housing inventory that ranges from 1850s limestone-era homes to newer subdivisions in the Broken Arrow and Fairfield Ridge areas. That range means roofing in Lockport requires real flexibility — from low-slope historic structures to modern 8/12 colonials.
Mokena Roofing Pros connects Lockport homeowners with licensed contractors equipped for whichever era their home was built in.

Newer Subdivisions Reaching Replacement Window
On the other end of the spectrum, subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s are now full of original architectural shingles past their 25-year warranty. The typical job here is a clean tear-off, replace any compromised decking, install proper ice-and-water shield and underlayment, and re-shingle with a 30-or-50-year architectural product.
