CK Construction | Flooring & Roofing in Schaumburg, IL 60193

Proper gutter installation is your first line of defense. In our area, heavy rain and snowmelt need to be channeled away from your roof's edge. Without effective gutters, water can back up under shingles and seep into the roof deck, leading to rot. We install systems with the correct pitch, capacity, and downspout placement to ensure water flows away from your home, protecting the roof deck and structure.

Absolutely. In many Schaumburg homes, failing or clogged gutters cause water to overflow directly onto the roof-wall intersections where flashing is installed. This constant deluge can loosen seals and fasteners, leading to lift. We assess both the gutter system and the flashing. Often, a gutter replacement or addition solves the water management issue, and we can then repair or resecure the flashing to create a complete, watertight seal.

In Schaumburg, roofing and gutters work as a single system. If you're repairing rot or flashing issues, old, undersized, or damaged gutters will likely undermine the new roof's longevity. We recommend evaluating both simultaneously. Replacing gutters ensures the new roof is protected from day one, directing water efficiently off the roof and foundation. This integrated approach saves you money and hassle in the long run.
