Roofing, Siding & Window Contractor in Des Plaines, IL
All American Exterior Solutions has served Des Plaines since 1975 — from the Cumberland and Big Bend Lake neighborhoods to the older brick Cape Cods and ranches near O’Hare. Des Plaines’ housing stock skews older, which means aging roofs, ice-dam-prone eaves, and original windows that leak heat. We handle all of it — roofing, siding, and replacement windows — and we actually come out to look before we quote.

What Des Plaines Homeowners Say About Us
“I found AAEXS online after contacting several other roofing companies. AAEXS was the only one to actually come to my house to look at everything and give me a bid. They delivered exactly what they said they would. High-quality work!”
— Danielle M., Des Plaines
Roofing Services for Des Plaines Homes
Re-roofs for older homes. Many Des Plaines roofs are well past their prime. We tear off and replace efficiently, address the decking and ventilation issues common in older homes, and leave your property clean.
Ice-dam & leak repair. Des Plaines’ older eaves and low-slope additions are prone to ice dams and leaks. We find the real cause and fix it — proper flashing and ventilation, not just a patch.
Storm & insurance work. After a storm we inspect for damage and work directly with your insurance company when there’s a claim.
Siding, Windows & Doors
We re-side Des Plaines homes in James Hardie and vinyl, replace drafty original windows with energy-efficient units that cut O’Hare-corridor noise as well as heat loss, and install entry, patio, and storm doors. Often it’s one combined project so the whole exterior matches.
Serving Des Plaines and nearby Mount Prospect, Park Ridge, Arlington Heights, and Niles.

Tile, Slate & Shake Roofing in Des Plaines
Des Plaines has more original clay tile than people expect. The 1920s brick bungalows through the older neighborhoods were roofed in clay when clay was ordinary, and a lot of those fields are still sound under failed flashing and brittle underlayment. Replacing one is rarely necessary and never cheap, so we repair, re-flash and re-lay before we ever quote a tear-off. We also install natural slate, cedar shake, and synthetic shake and slate on the Cape Cods and ranches, where a lighter synthetic often suits an older roof structure better than the original material would today.
Solar for Des Plaines Homes
On an older Des Plaines house the honest first question is not how many panels fit, it is what the decking and the roof structure will carry. An array is a twenty-five year commitment mounted to a roof that may have ten years left, and we would rather tell you that up front than sell around it. We inspect the deck and the ventilation as part of the assessment, re-roof first when that is the right order, and then install residential solar or home battery backup on a roof that will outlive the system.
Commercial and Low-Slope Roofing in Des Plaines
Des Plaines carries more flat and low-slope roofing than most towns its size, on the commercial buildings through the Oakton and Rand corridors and on the rear additions, porch roofs and dormers of the older housing stock. Those are not shingle roofs and they fail differently. We install and repair single-ply TPO and EPDM membrane and modified bitumen systems, and we detail the transition where a low-slope addition meets a pitched roof, which is the single most common place a Des Plaines roof leaks. That joint gets flashed properly rather than sealed over and revisited every spring.
