We treat every home as if it were our own, ensuring it's built to last. We aim to earn your trust, your referrals, and your satisfaction for years to come.

Joe Breisch, founder of Northwind Exteriors, brings decades of experience and a passion for excellence to every project. Growing up in a hardworking, blue-collar family in the Chicagoland area, Joe learned the value of hard work, integrity, and community early on. After earning a degree in Business Administration and Marketing from St. Norbert College —where he also played collegiate football—Joe built an extensive career in construction and building materials, including nearly a decade at ABC Supply, training contractors on roofing, siding, and windows.
Driven by a mission to redefine what homeowners can expect from contractors, Joe founded Northwind Exteriors to provide high-quality materials, highly trained crews, and a seamless, consultative process. His goal is simple: to deliver projects that stand the test of time while building lasting relationships with homeowners.
Joe is also deeply rooted in his personal life as a dedicated husband and father. He and his wife, Jacqueline, are passionate advocates for the Type 1 Diabetes community, a cause close to their hearts since their daughter Everly was diagnosed at age two. Everly, who is also Celiac, inspires their family to create a loving and supportive environment where she can thrive. Their son, Aiden, shares his dad's love of sports, and Joe enjoys coaching his football and basketball teams in Park Ridge & Rosemont. Whether it's cheering Everly on at dance and cheerleading or helping Aiden on the field, Joe's greatest joy is spending time with his family.
Beyond his work with Northwind Exteriors, Joe is also a partner at Velocity Cabinet Supply, a cabinet supply company based in Fox Lake, IL, and Serenity Waterscapes, a residential pond-building business based in Park Ridge, IL. These ventures reflect his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to delivering exceptional products and services in every industry he touches.
Joe's genuine care, extensive knowledge, and hands-on approach have made Northwind Exteriors the trusted choice for roofing and siding in Chicagoland. At Northwind, he's not just building homes—he's building relationships and helping families love their homes again.
