Siding, Roofing & Windows
in Belvidere, IL
Serving Belvidere and Boone County homeowners from our Loves Park shop — same local crew that's been doing this since 1986, now just 20 minutes east on Route 20.
Three generations of exterior expertise, rooted right here
Littlefield Siding is a family business. Tom Littlefield learned the trade from his father, and the company's combined experience spans more than 60 years of siding, roofing, window, and exterior work. We incorporated in 1986 and have operated from our Loves Park shop ever since.
When a Belvidere homeowner calls us, they get an actual local crew — not a 1-800 number that routes to a sales rep in another state. Our shop is on Riverside Blvd in Loves Park, about 20 minutes west on Route 20. We've worked on homes throughout Belvidere and Boone County for years.
Our Story
Why Belvidere homeowners choose Littlefield
We know Belvidere housing stock
Belvidere has a diverse housing mix — older craftsman and Victorian-era homes in the historic downtown core, mid-century ranches throughout the residential streets, and newer subdivision builds on the city's north and east edges. Each era has its own installation requirements and we know them all.
Belvidere is the Boone County seat. We pull permits through the City of Belvidere building department and through Boone County for unincorporated properties.
We understand Belvidere weather
33 inches of annual snowfall. Boone County sits in an open agricultural corridor that funnels storm systems from the west with little terrain to slow them down. Hail events here can be severe — and damage often gets missed without a trained inspection.
We handle the insurance paperwork
Filing a storm damage claim is usually more stressful than the damage itself. We walk Belvidere homeowners through the full process — from inspection through adjuster documentation through supplementing short estimates.

Get Help NowProtecting Belvidere homes in open storm country
Belvidere is the county seat of Boone County, built along the Kishwaukee River and surrounded by open farmland. Its homes range from older houses near the historic downtown to mid-century neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the edges of town.
That open countryside matters for your home's exterior. With few natural windbreaks, storms that roll in from the west can arrive with real force, and wind-driven rain and hail find the weak spots in aging roofs, siding, and flashing.
Wind-driven hail damage
Hail and wind usually damage one or two sides of a house far more than the others. After a severe storm, check the storm-facing walls, gutters, and other soft metals.
Hidden hail damage signs →Older homes and flashing leaks
Older homes near downtown often have chimneys, dormers, and multiple roof planes. Aging flashing around them is one of the most common sources of leaks.
Common causes of roof leaks →Out-of-town contractors after big storms
After a major hail event, out-of-town crews often canvass neighborhoods door to door. Know the red flags before you let anyone on your roof or sign anything.
How to avoid storm chasers →Siding on exposed lots
Homes on open lots take more sun, wind, and impact. If your siding has cracked or faded, compare vinyl and steel before you replace it.

Add freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and northern Illinois rainfall — and you have a climate that accelerates exterior wear far faster than the national average. We install to the conditions, not the catalog.

Frequently asked by Belvidere homeowners
