Illinois weather is hard on roofs.

Wind & tornado
High wind lifts and tears shingles, often without blowing them clear off. We find it and document it. Wind →
Hail damage
Hail bruises shingles and knocks off granules, shortening roof life. We assess it properly. Hail →
Winter & ice dams
Hard winters bring ice dams that back water up under shingles. We fix the leak and the cause. Ice dams →
