Roofing in River Grove, IL

Serving River Grove and Surrounding Areas

Chicago roofs take a beating every season. In winter, lake-effect snow piles up fast—sometimes 12 inches overnight—and the weight can stress older roof decks. When the temperature swings above freezing during the day and drops below at night, ice dams form along eaves. Those dams force water under shingles and into your attic, staining ceilings and rotting wood. Spring hail is another big problem. Hailstones the size of quarters hit in April and May, bruising asphalt shingles and cracking tile or slate. Wind-driven rain during summer thunderstorms can lift shingles and blow water under flashing. The humid air also feeds moss and algae growth on north-facing slopes, which shortens shingle life. And if your home is a classic Chicago bungalow or greystone, the original flat roof sections often have low slope—anything under 2/12 pitch needs a membrane system like TPO or modified bitumen, not standard shingles. Our team sees these issues every week. We know exactly where to look for hidden leaks, how to fix ice dam damage permanently, and which materials hold up best on your specific roof type. Don’t wait until water stains appear on your ceiling. Call (312) 313-3253 for a thorough inspection and a straightforward plan to protect your home.
