Our Roof Repair Process

01

Leak Diagnosis

We trace the leak to its actual source — often not directly above where it appears inside. Common culprits include flashing failures, pipe boot seals, and shingle gaps.

02

Damage Assessment

Full inspection of affected areas, surrounding shingles, and flashings to identify all repair needs.

03

Repair

Damaged shingles are replaced, flashings are repaired or replaced with proper step flashing and counter flashing techniques, and sealant is applied as needed.

04

Test & Inspect

Water testing confirms the leak is resolved. All surrounding areas are inspected for developing issues.

Roof Repair FAQ for Chicago Homeowners

How often should Chicago homeowners get roof repair?
Given Chicago's arctic winters with wind chills below -20°f, most homeowners benefit from roof repair at least once a year. Ice dam formation on roofs (December–February) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Chicago most need roof repair?
Chicago-style greystones and brick two-flats and Victorian and Craftsman-style homes are the most common home types in Chicago and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How do I know where my roof is leaking?
Water stains on ceilings or walls, wet attic insulation, and daylight visible in the attic are indicators. The actual entry point is often uphill from where damage appears — flashing, pipe boots, and valleys are common culprits.
Can I repair a roof myself?
Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles are DIY-able if you're comfortable on a roof. But flashing work, valley repairs, and leak diagnosis often require experience to do correctly. Improper repairs often make leaks worse.
How much does roof repair cost?
Minor repairs run $150–$500. Flashing repairs and larger shingle sections run $500–$1,500. Major repairs approaching the cost of replacement should be evaluated for full roof economics.
Does homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs?
Damage from sudden events like hail, wind, and fallen trees is typically covered. Normal wear and aging is not. We can help document storm damage for insurance claims.
