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
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.
