Questions and Answers
Why is ridge cap damage so common in our area, and how do you fix it?
In Putnam, high winds and temperature fluctuations can loosen or crack the shingles along your roof's peak, known as the ridge cap. This critical area is highly vulnerable. We fix it by carefully removing the damaged caps, inspecting the underlying structure, and installing new, high-wind-rated ridge cap shingles with proper sealing to restore a watertight seal and protect your roof's integrity.
What can be done to prevent ice dams on my roof this winter?
Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and even. We assess your current setup and often recommend adding more insulation, improving soffit and ridge venting, and installing a waterproof membrane (ice & water shield) along the eaves. These steps help melt snow evenly, preventing the dam-and-leak cycle common in our Illinois winters.
My roof has both ridge damage and ice dam issues. Can you handle a comprehensive repair?
Absolutely. It's common for these issues to be related, as poor ventilation contributes to both. We provide a full assessment and can perform a coordinated repair. This typically involves fixing the ridge cap, addressing any underlying deck damage from leaks, and upgrading the attic's ventilation system to solve the root cause, ensuring your entire roof system works together to protect your home.
