Skokie, IL
Not every leak means you need a new roof. In Skokie we fixed a shingle roof with a small, targeted repair because that's all it needed. If your roof still has good years left, we'll tell you, and we'll fix just the part that's failing. We're a short drive from our Belmont Cragin shop.
Skokie, IL
The problem: The roof was leaking. Shingles near the ridge were loose, mismatched and missing, leaving the underlayment exposed.
What we found: Several earlier patches used the wrong color and a few rows had lifted or blown off.
How we fixed it: We replaced the damaged and mismatched shingles with color-matched shingles and sealed the area to stop the leak.

The problem: This flat roof had been patched over and over in the same spot. All those layers of repairs built up into small ridges, almost like little walls. Instead of draining off the roof, rainwater got trapped behind them and pooled there, leaking slowly into the home.
What we found: Once we tore off the old roof, we found the paper-faced insulation soaked through and the drywall rotted and covered in mold.
How we fixed it: We tore off every old layer and all the built-up patches down to the structure, pulled out the wet insulation and the moldy, rotted drywall, installed a new flat roof with a smooth, even surface, adjusted the gutter slope so water flows to the downspouts, and extended the termination bar and flashing where the brick wall meets the flat roof.
Skokie has a wide mix of brick bungalows, Cape Cods, Georgians and mid-century ranches and split-levels. Most have asphalt shingle roofs, and many older homes still have brick chimneys and original-style gutters.
