Chicago Roofing Team — Built to Handle Midwest Winters

"We took on 22 inches of lake-effect snow in 36 hours and I had ice dams forming along the entire north eave of our Lincoln Park two-flat. Chicago Roofing Team came out during the storm, removed the ice load safely, and came back when conditions cleared for a full assessment. The underlayment had been failing for at least two freeze-thaw cycles. Everything was permitted through the city."

"Our Hyde Park greystone had a slow interior leak every March for four years. Three contractors told me the shingles needed replacing. Chicago Roofing Team was the first to trace it correctly — the step flashing along the chimney had corroded and separated, and water was traveling the full length of the rafter before it surfaced. They rebuilt the flashing assembly, used proper soldered corners, sealed with ice and water shield. First dry spring in years."

"I was selling my Andersonville two-story and the buyer's inspector found granule loss across the south slope. Chicago Roofing Team assessed it as localized hail damage, filed the insurance claim, and got approval for a partial replacement. They matched the shingle profile, documented everything, and the buyer's re-inspection passed."

"A supercell came off the lake on a Saturday night and took 40 square feet of shingles off my Wicker Park roof. I called at 10pm expecting voicemail. Someone answered, talked me through covering the exposure, and had a crew with emergency materials at my house by 8am Sunday. The magnetic nail sweep across my courtyard was something I hadn't expected but really appreciated."

"Our Roscoe Village bungalow needed a full replacement and I was nervous about what they'd find under the shingles — the house is from 1928. Chicago Roofing Team found three sections of soft decking from freeze-thaw moisture cycling and photographed every board before replacing them. They also found the previous roofer had installed drip edge over the underlayment at the eaves — wrong in Chicago's climate. Corrected it properly, pulled the city permit."
