Questions
Yes. In ZIP 60426, 83.7% of homes were built before 1980, and the median year built is 1961, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Roofs on homes that old often have worn flashing and aging decking. Call for an inspection and a written estimate before you decide on repair or replacement.
May is the busiest month for hail here, and 90% of reports within 25 km fall between March and October. The last 2-inch hail within 25 km fell on May 7, 2024. Book a roof inspection in spring, and call again after any hailstorm.
They do. NCEI normals show 126 freezing days and 28 inches of snow a year here. A roof over a warm, leaky attic will build an ice dam in that weather. Sealing the attic is the fix.
Flashing, pipe boots and valleys. About 42 inches of rain fall here each year at the nearest station. Water finds every cracked boot and open seam, so the repair starts by tracing the entry point.
