Experienced Roof Repair in Chicago, IL 60645 - Andres Roofing & Construction Inc

Chicago's temperature swings and high winds can cause nail pops and flashing lift, which compromise your roof's watertight seal. We address these by performing a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas. For nail pops, we secure the shingles properly and replace any compromised nails with longer, corrosion-resistant ones. For flashing lift, we carefully reseal or replace the flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys, using high-grade sealants and techniques designed to withstand our local weather, preventing future leaks and damage.

Ponding water on flat roofs is a common problem that leads to premature deterioration. Our re-pitching service involves carefully assessing the existing roof structure to create a new, subtle slope that directs water toward the drains or scuppers. We use tapered insulation or adjust the decking to achieve the proper pitch, then re-cover the area with your roofing material. This permanent solution eliminates standing water, protects the roof membrane, and restores long-term watertight integrity for your commercial or residential property.

Yes, we provide both comprehensive repair services and complete roof replacements. The decision is based on a detailed, free inspection. We consider the roof's age, the extent of damage (like widespread leaks or structural issues), and the cost-effectiveness of repairs versus replacement. For example, a few isolated shingle repairs are straightforward, but if the roof deck is compromised or the system is near the end of its lifespan, a replacement is often the more reliable and economical long-term choice. We'll explain all options clearly to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
