## Common Roof Issues in Chicago, IL

Chicago homeowners face a unique set of roofing problems. Here are the most common we see—and how we fix them.

**Ice Dams** – When snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, water backs up under shingles. Our solution: improve attic insulation and ventilation, then remove the dam safely.

**Leaks from Hail Damage** – Spring hailstorms bruise shingles, causing granule loss. That weakens the roof’s waterproof layer. We inspect every shingle and replace damaged ones.

**Wind Damage** – Chicago’s lake winds can lift shingles or tear flashing. We secure loose areas and replace missing shingles with matching materials.

**Old Roofs Past Their Lifespan** – Asphalt shingles last 20–25 years. If your roof is older, it’s time for a replacement before leaks start.

**Poor Flashing** – Around chimneys, vents, and skylights, failed flashing is a top leak source. We re-flash with metal that expands and contracts with temperature changes.
