Roof replacement

You notice it first as shingles curling at the edges, granules in the gutters or a ceiling stain after rain. In the area the median home dates to 1960 and 71.5% of homes in the ZIP code were built before 1980, so a roof here is often well past its first life. Roof replacement here starts with an inspection of the roof and decking, then a written estimate before any work starts, then the work. Call to book the inspection and ask what the estimate covers.

The same number also books roof replacement here, and the inspection is photographed before the estimate is written.

What shapes roof work here

Houses in Posen are older than the roofs most people assume they have: the median home was built in 1960, and 72% were built before 1980, close to the 74% county-wide share for Cook County. That age matters because a roof on an older house tends to have worn flashing and decking that a storm finds fast. NOAA's storm records show 178 hail events of one inch or larger in the county since 2015, and May is the busiest hail month nearby. Roofers Hotline books roof inspections and written estimates here, so call after the next storm and have the house's age ready.

Questions

Roofing questions in Posen

Is my Posen roof likely to be old enough to need replacing?

It may be. Census estimates for 2019 to 2023 put the median home here at 1960, and 71.5% of homes in the ZIP code were built before 1980. Houses that age often have roofs near the end of their life or decking worn by decades of weather. Call for an inspection and a written estimate to see where yours stands.

How much hail has hit here?

NOAA's storm records show 118 hail reports within 15 km of the area from 2000 to 2024, and 178 hail events of one inch or larger in Cook County since 2015. Hail that size can bruise shingles without leaving visible leaks. After a hailstorm, call to book a roof inspection.

Do ice dams form on roofs here?

Yes. Winters here bring 108 freezing days and about 39 inches of snow, by NCEI normals. That is ice dam weather for any roof with a warm attic under it.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing and pipe boots fail first. About 41 inches of rain fall here in a normal year. A leak repair starts by finding where that water gets in.
