Wind Damage and Flat Roof Repair in Harwood Heights

The problem: High winds in Chicago lifted the torch-down roof. The homeowner called after getting three quotes, and every contractor said the roof needed to be replaced.

What we found: We inspected the roof and showed what each option would cost, how long each one would last, and what the warranty covers.

How we fixed it: The homeowner chose to repair it. We sealed the lifted sections and the seams, so the roof keeps working instead of being replaced.

The problem: The homeowner had a few leaks and thought it was the chimney flashing. Another contractor had already tried to fix it.

What we found: We inspected the house and checked the attic. A small leak had rotted the plywood decking (OSB). From the outside the roof looked fine, but inside it was bad.

How we fixed it: We gave the options: repair that patch or replace the whole roof. The roof was at the end of its life, so the homeowner chose a full replacement.
