John & Sons Roofing & Sealcoat | Roofing Services in Lombard, IL 60148

After strong winds common in Lombard, check for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. You might also see granules from shingles in your gutters or on the ground. Inside your home, look for water stains on ceilings or in the attic. If you notice any of these signs, it's wise to have a professional inspection from a local roofer like John & Sons to prevent minor damage from becoming a major leak.

Flashing—the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and skylights—can fail due to age, improper installation, or extreme temperature shifts common in Illinois. The sealant can dry out and crack, or high winds can loosen the metal. Repair involves carefully removing the old flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, properly sealed flashing. Our team at John & Sons ensures a watertight seal that matches your roof's profile, protecting these critical vulnerability points on your Lombard home.

Proactive maintenance is key in Lombard. We recommend bi-annual inspections, typically in spring and fall, to catch issues early. This includes clearing debris from valleys and gutters, checking for loose shingles or flashing, and ensuring seals around penetrations are intact. This routine care addresses the wear from our local weather patterns before it leads to wind damage or separation, ultimately saving you money and extending the life of your roof significantly.
