How do exterior upgrades improve my home’s value?
A professional residential roofing contractor in Downers Grove, IL offers a range of services designed to protect your home and extend the life of your roof. With decades of experience, our team specializes in improving your home’s durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal through professional construction.
New siding can increase your home’s value and curb appeal
Installing new siding is one of the most effective exterior remodeling upgrades for improving curb appeal and increasing property value. Modern siding materials such as vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, and steel siding are designed to provide long-lasting durability, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance. In addition to enhancing the appearance of your home, new siding also adds an extra layer of protection against moisture, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Many homeowners choose siding replacement not only to refresh the look of their home but also to improve insulation and overall exterior performance, which can make the home more attractive to future buyers.
Energy-efficient replacement windows can significantly improve home efficiency
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient replacement windows can make a noticeable difference in both comfort and energy costs. Today’s window systems feature insulated glass panes, advanced weather sealing, and energy-saving frame materials that help reduce heat loss during the winter and limit heat gain during the summer. By maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures, replacement windows can help lower heating and cooling bills throughout the year. Homeowners often also experience additional benefits such as improved indoor comfort, reduced drafts, and less outside noise entering the home.
Soffit, fascia, and gutters protect your home from water damage & ventilation problems
Your home’s soffit, fascia, and gutter system work together to protect the structure of your home and maintain proper airflow in the attic. Soffit panels allow fresh air to circulate through the attic space, which helps prevent moisture buildup and supports proper roof ventilation. Fascia boards provide structural support for the gutter system while protecting the roofline from weather exposure. Gutters and downspouts then direct rainwater safely away from the home’s foundation. When these components are properly installed and maintained, they help prevent water damage, foundation problems, soil erosion, and basement leaks—making them a critical part of any well-maintained exterior.
What Homeowners Are Saying
Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail
“It has been a long time since I have seen true craftsmen, who take pride in their work. They did extra detailing on my house, which they weren’t required to do and they cleaned up in a meticulous manner to a point where I didn’t even know they were there that day. They were conscientious enough to call me for changes to enhance the look, as well as, the value of my home. Please pass this on to your cohorts for a ‘pat on the back’ from us, and a ‘job well done.’”
Quality Siding and Gutter Installation
“I want you to know how happy we are with our new siding, gutters, and the professional workmanship in installation by your staff.”
Dramatic Window Upgrade
“We are very pleased with the windows. The difference is truly dramatic. Your workmen were very polite and efficient…”
Clean, Professional Installation
“Please know that I am very pleased with the job which was done. Not only the appearance of the garage (I wish I had taken before and after pictures), but with the tidiness of the installers (a very important factor for me!) When the time comes for my house to be resided, I will contact you.”
A Storm Door That Made a Big Difference
“I just wanted to write and thank you for our lovely new storm door. It is so nice, and has made a big difference both to the warmth of the living room and the look of the outside of our house”.
Beautiful New Roof and Garage Door Installation
We’re thrilled with our new roof and garage service door from Exterior Designers, Inc. We discovered EDI through positive reviews on the Nextdoor app. From the first phone call to the final clean-up, EDI’s crew was on time, friendly, and very respectful of our 20+ year-old home in Joliet. Owners Tim Johnson and John Gallagher walked us through the entire process beforehand, answering all of our questions and helping us choose the best materials for our first roof replacement. Our project was completed quickly (3 days total within a week in August 2025) but carefully. The quality of the workmanship is obvious. The shingles we selected (CertainTeed Landmark Pro with StreakFighter algae-resistant copper in MaxDef Colonial Slate) beautifully compliment the brickwork and white siding of our home and garage. The new garage service door, updated ventilation, and new shingles are sturdy, stylish, and perfectly installed. Everything looks fantastic and gives us peace of mind knowing our home is well protected. Storms are now barely heard. EDI handled all permits, insurance, and spotless clean-up. The pricing was fair and communication was excellent throughout. We couldn’t be happier with the results or experience and highly recommend EDI to anyone needing a roof or door replacement.
A Complete Exterior Transformation
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was doing business with Exterior Design, Inc. and to thank you for all of the work you did for us. Your overall craftsmanship and attention to detail has made our home look beautiful. The old roof tear off, installation of the new roof installation of the new fascia, soffit, and gutters, was the most professional job I’ve ever had done by a home improvement contractor”.
Professional Crew and Beautiful Results
“My husband & I would just like to say that the guys who worked on our house were great. They were busy out there working & they didn’t bother us at all. Of course, the best part is the house looks great and we’re real happy with it. They did a fine job.”
Standing Behind the Work
“I am at a loss to express my appreciation for your honesty and for standing behind what was right. I would never have realized the wrong style covers were installed. Instead of letting it go, you step in and did what was necessary to corrected the situation so that we would not have problems in the future. Thank you.”
