Why Roof Repairs Matter in Chicago's Climate

Not every roof problem needs a full replacement. When damage is limited to one area and your roof still has years of life left, targeted repairs make sense. We'll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better choice for your situation.

Chicago's weather creates specific repair challenges. The freeze-thaw cycles that occur throughout winter cause small problems to become big ones quickly. A minor crack that lets in a little water in October becomes a major leak by February as ice expands that crack repeatedly. That's why prompt repair matters more here than in milder climates.

Summer storms bring their own problems. Hail damages shingles in ways that aren't immediately obvious. Wind lifts edges that later allow water intrusion. Falling branches from Illinois's mature oak and maple trees puncture roofs and damage flashing. After any significant storm, it's worth having your roof checked.

Common Roof Repairs We Handle:

Leak Repair: We track down the actual source of leaks (it's not always where the water appears inside your home). Water travels along rafters, pipes, and electrical runs before finally dripping through a ceiling. Finding the entry point requires experience and sometimes detective work. We fix it properly and verify the repair holds before considering the job complete.

Missing or Damaged Shingles: Wind, hail, and falling branches knock shingles loose. We match your existing shingles as closely as possible in color, profile, and manufacturer. For discontinued shingles, we maintain relationships with suppliers who stock older patterns. The goal is a repair that's virtually invisible.

Flashing Repair: The metal strips around chimneys, vents, skylights, and where roof meets wall are common leak points. Over time, caulk fails, metal corrodes, and flashing pulls away from surfaces. We reseal or replace flashing to stop water intrusion permanently.

Valley Repair: The valleys where two roof planes meet collect water and debris. If step flashing fails or shingles erode in the valley, leaks follow. Valley repairs require precision to ensure water flows properly without penetrating.

Pipe Boot Replacement: The rubber boots around plumbing vent pipes crack and deteriorate after 10-15 years. When they fail, water runs directly down the pipe into your home. Replacing pipe boots is one of the most common repairs we perform.

Storm Damage: Hail cracks shingles and knocks off the protective granule coating. High winds lift shingle edges and tear them away entirely. We document damage thoroughly for insurance claims, photograph everything, and make proper repairs once your claim is approved.

Emergency Repairs: Storms don't wait for Monday morning. Neither do we. When a tree comes through your roof or a severe storm opens up gaps, we provide emergency tarping to protect your home from further water damage until permanent repairs can be scheduled.

When to Repair vs Replace:

Repair makes sense when:: - Damage is limited to one section of your roof - Your roof is under 15 years old (shingles still have life left) - This is your first major repair - Repair cost is under 30% of replacement cost - The underlying decking and structure are sound - Your roof's appearance matches well after repair

Replacement makes sense when:: - Multiple areas show damage simultaneously - Your roof is 20+ years old - You've had several repairs in recent years - Decking or structure shows compromise (sagging, rot) - Repairs would be highly visible or mismatched - Repair costs approach 40-50% of replacement cost

We'll give you an honest assessment. If repair will hold for years, that's what we recommend. If you're throwing money at a failing roof, we'll tell you that too. Our reputation depends on honest advice, not on upselling replacements.

Most roof repairs cost $300-800. Simple repairs like replacing a few shingles run $150-400. More complex repairs involving flashing or multiple areas run $500-1,500. We provide exact pricing before starting work.

QCan you fix a roof leak?

Yes. We track down the leak source, which isn't always where water appears inside. Common sources include damaged flashing, cracked shingles, and compromised valleys. We fix the actual problem, not just the symptom.

QHow fast can you repair my roof?

We typically schedule repairs within a few days of your call. Emergency tarping for active leaks is available same-day. Most repairs are completed in a few hours once we arrive.

QDo you repair storm damage?

Yes. We repair hail damage, wind damage, and damage from fallen trees or debris. We document everything for insurance claims and work directly with adjusters when needed.

QIs it worth repairing an old roof?

It depends. If your roof is under 15-20 years old and damage is isolated, repair is usually worthwhile. If your roof is older or you're facing frequent repairs, replacement may be the better investment. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
