Siding, Roofing & Windows
in Candlewick Lake, IL
Serving Candlewick Lake homeowners from our Loves Park shop — exterior work built for northern Illinois weather since 1986.
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 Candlewick Lake 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, a short drive west on Route 173. Candlewick Lake is a community we know well — we've worked on homes here for years and understand the specific challenges lake-adjacent properties face.
Our Story
Why Candlewick Lake homeowners choose Littlefield
We know Candlewick Lake housing stock
Candlewick Lake is a private lake community with a mix of year-round residences and seasonal properties. Homes here face unique exterior challenges — lake-side moisture exposure, higher wind exposure on open lots, and the freeze-thaw cycling that accelerates wear on siding, roofing, and trim faster than in more sheltered neighborhoods. We're experienced with this housing type.
Candlewick Lake is in Boone County. We coordinate with the community's HOA on exterior projects and pull permits through Boone County.
We understand Candlewick Lake weather
9 confirmed ground hail reports in the Candlewick Lake area in the past 12 months. 35 inches of annual snowfall. Lake-adjacent properties experience additional moisture exposure and wind acceleration across the open water — exterior materials here work harder than in comparable inland locations and need to be specified accordingly.
We handle the insurance paperwork
Filing a storm damage claim is usually more stressful than the damage itself. We walk Candlewick Lake homeowners through the full process — from inspection through adjuster documentation through supplementing short estimates.

Frequently asked by Candlewick Lake homeowners
Yes, most exterior replacement work in Candlewick Lake requires a permit through Boone County. We pull all required permits on your behalf as part of the job and can coordinate with the community's HOA requirements.
Most full roof replacements take 1–2 days. Full siding replacements generally take 3–5 days depending on home size and siding type. We plan the schedule around your availability and the weather forecast — we don't start a job we can't finish cleanly.
We install year-round, but the best window for most projects is April through October. Winter installations are possible but weather-dependent. Storm damage repairs happen whenever they're needed, regardless of season.
Yes. We provide the inspection documentation, photographs, and scope of work that adjusters need, and we'll meet with the adjuster on-site when it helps. If an initial claim comes back short, we'll help you supplement. We never pressure a homeowner to file a claim that isn't warranted.
