Cut It Square | Roofing Services in Joliet, IL 60436

Ice blockages, or ice dams, often form due to heat escaping from your attic, melting snow that then refreezes in your gutters. We help prevent this by first inspecting your attic insulation and ventilation to ensure proper airflow. Then, we can install an ice and water shield along the roof's edge and in valleys, providing a critical waterproof barrier under your shingles to protect your home if ice does form.

Nail pops are common in our area due to the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking with temperature changes. Over time, this movement can push roofing nails up, breaking the seal and creating potential leaks. Our fix involves carefully removing the affected shingle, replacing the popped nail with a new one placed in a different location, and properly sealing the shingle back down to restore a watertight barrier and protect your roof's integrity.

We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the late spring or early fall. This timing allows us to check for any damage from winter storms, like ice dam evidence or nail pops, and to make repairs before the next harsh season. Regular inspections are the best way to catch these common local issues early, saving you money on more extensive repairs down the line.
