Gabbard Construction | Roofing Services in DeKalb, IL 60115

In our area, clogged gutters are a primary cause of ice dams. When leaves and debris block water flow, it backs up, freezes at the roof's edge, and pushes under shingles. Our thorough gutter cleaning service ensures proper drainage all winter, significantly reducing the risk of costly ice dam formation and interior water damage to your DeKalb home.

Not necessarily. Granule loss is common in DeKalb due to hail, wind, and aging. While some loss is normal, excessive amounts indicate shingles are wearing out. We recommend a professional roof inspection. Often, targeted roof repair is sufficient, but if wear is widespread, a replacement may be the most cost-effective, long-term solution to protect your home.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like a small leak or loose section, a repair is often quick and effective. However, if sections are sagging, pulling away from the house, or extensively rusted, a full gutter replacement is a wiser investment. We'll assess the situation honestly and recommend the best option to ensure your DeKalb home is ready for winter weather.
