Roofing and Gutters for Elmwood Park Homes

Elmwood Park is just a few minutes from our Belmont Cragin shop, so it's one of the suburbs we reach fastest. Its tidy brick bungalows and single-family homes mostly have shingled roofs, and many are now on their second or third roof. When yours starts showing its age, we'll help you decide between a repair and a replacement.

New gutters and downspouts

Oak Lawn, IL

The problem: The homeowner called because water was seeping into her basement, so we came out to inspect the gutters.

What we found: The gutters were old and too short for the roof, and there were not enough downspouts, so water spilled and ran down against the foundation.

How we fixed it: We installed new gutters, rerouted the runs, and added extra downspouts with ground extensions to take the water away from the foundation.

Homes we work on here

Elmwood Park is mostly brick bungalows, brick single-family homes and some ranch-style houses, along with a few small apartment buildings. Most have pitched asphalt shingle roofs with gutters along the front and back.

Problems we fix most in Elmwood Park

  • Worn 3-tab shingle roofs. Many older roofs here are 3-tab, which most manufacturers no longer make. When enough tabs are cracking or missing, a full replacement with architectural shingles is usually the longer-lasting choice.
  • Clogged and overflowing gutters. Bungalow gutters fill with leaves from the mature trees and overflow against the brick.
  • Old gutters pulling away. Gutters that sag or leak at the seams send water to the foundation. We replace them with seamless gutters and add downspouts where needed.
  • Leaks around chimneys. Worn flashing and cracked mortar on brick chimneys are common leak points. We reflash and tuckpoint them.

Elmwood Park FAQ

My roof is 3-tab and missing a few shingles. Can you just patch it?

Sometimes. If the rest of the roof is sound, we'll patch it with the closest match. If the shingles are brittle all over, we'll tell you a patch won't hold for long.

Do you install seamless gutters?

Yes, along with new downspouts and gutter guards.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. We'll show you photos and give you a written estimate.
