Anthony's Roofing | Roofing Services in Des Plaines, IL 60016

Ice dams often form when heat escapes from your attic and melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes in cold gutters. We address this by first inspecting your attic ventilation and insulation to reduce heat loss. For your gutters, we ensure proper installation, pitch, and capacity to allow meltwater to flow freely. If needed, we can install heating cables or recommend a full gutter replacement with a larger, more efficient system designed for our Illinois winters to prevent blockages and protect your roof's edge.

A leaking skylight in Des Plaines is often due to failed seals or flashing around the unit, which is part of the roof system. Our process starts with a thorough roof inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. We'll check the skylight's integrity, the condition of the surrounding shingles, and, most critically, the metal flashing that seals the junction. Whether it requires resealing, flashing repair, or a complete skylight replacement, we handle it as part of your roof's overall health to ensure a watertight, lasting fix.

The best choice depends on the extent of damage and the age of your system. For isolated issues like a single seam leak or a loose section, a targeted gutter repair is often sufficient and cost-effective. However, if your gutters are old, frequently clogging, sagging, or have multiple problem areas—especially common after years of handling our seasonal debris and ice—a full gutter replacement is usually the wiser long-term investment. We'll provide a clear assessment and recommend the option that best protects your Des Plaines home's siding and foundation from water damage.
