Anderson Home Improvements | Roofing Services in Wood River, IL 62095

After a strong storm, common signs of wind damage include missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially along roof edges and ridges. You might also see granules from the shingles in your gutters or downspouts. Inside, check your attic for leaks or water stains. Because wind damage can weaken your roof's integrity, we recommend a professional inspection from our team to assess any hidden issues and prevent further problems.

Granule loss is a sign of normal aging, but it can accelerate after severe weather. While a few granules in gutters is typical, heavy loss exposes the asphalt layer to UV rays, causing it to dry out and crack faster. For Wood River homes, this can lead to leaks and reduced protection. We recommend scheduling an inspection. We can determine if a repair will suffice or if a replacement is needed to ensure your home stays weather-tight.

While new windows address efficiency and comfort, they are part of your home's overall envelope. If you have a leaky or damaged roof, moisture can seep into walls and around window frames, causing rot and mold. We often recommend addressing roofing issues first. Then, our energy-efficient window installation can work in tandem with your new roof to maximize home protection, improve insulation, and lower your energy bills year-round in Wood River.
