Ice dams occur when heat escapes and melts snow unevenly on your roof. A new roof installation or professional reroofing by A A Restoration addresses this by ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation are part of the project. We also install high-quality, ice-and-water shield underlayment at the roof's edges—a critical step for Chicago homes—to create a watertight barrier that prevents melted water from seeping in and causing interior damage, even if an ice dam forms.

In Chicago, the constant freeze-thaw cycles and temperature extremes can cause metal roof flashing to expand, contract, and eventually pull away from chimneys, vents, and walls. This separation creates leaks. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to locate all compromised areas. We carefully remove old sealant and fasteners, resecure or replace the flashing with durable, weather-resistant materials, and apply new high-grade sealants to create a long-lasting, watertight seal that can withstand our local weather.

Absolutely. Properly functioning gutters and downspouts are your roof's first line of defense. Clogged, damaged, or improperly sloped gutters can cause water to back up and freeze at the roof's edge, directly contributing to ice dam formation. Our gutter installation, repair, and replacement services ensure water is channeled efficiently away from your roof and foundation. For Chicago homes, we often recommend larger-capacity gutter systems and heated gutter cables to mitigate ice buildup, protecting both your roof and siding.
