Designed Roofing Systems | Roofing Services in Springfield, IL 62703

In our climate, warm, moist air from your living space can rise into the attic. Without proper ventilation, this moisture gets trapped, condenses on the cold underside of the roof deck, and saturates your insulation. This reduces its effectiveness, promotes mold growth, and can cause structural wood rot. We assess and correct ventilation issues to keep your attic dry and your insulation performing as it should.

Ice dams form when heat escapes from your home, melts snow on the upper roof, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. The best prevention is a two-part approach: first, ensuring your attic is properly insulated and air-sealed to minimize heat loss; and second, installing adequate ventilation to maintain a consistent, cold roof temperature. We provide comprehensive evaluations and targeted upgrades to address both the cause and the vulnerable areas of your roof.

Repairing ice dam damage goes beyond just replacing shingles. Water often backs up under the roofing, damaging the roof deck, soffits, and insulation. A proper repair plan should include: 1) Replacing any compromised roof decking, 2) Installing a waterproof membrane along the eaves (a critical step often missed), 3) Replacing damaged insulation and ventilation components, and 4) Only then re-installing the final roofing layer. We handle this full-scope repair to ensure the problem doesn't recur next winter.
