Kilin Constrution | Roofing Services in Hanover Park, IL 60133

Both are common issues due to our local climate. Nail pops often occur from the expansion and contraction of roofing materials during our freeze-thaw cycles. Ice blockages, or ice dams, form when heat escapes from the attic, melting snow on the roof which then refreezes in the colder gutters. We can fix existing nail pops and clear ice dams, but more importantly, our roofing and insulation services help prevent them from happening in the first place.

Absolutely. While ice dams start at the roof, they're often a sign of overall heat loss. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows and properly insulated siding from Kilin Construction helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This reduces the amount of heat escaping into your attic, which is a primary cause of the snow melt that leads to ice blockages. We can assess your home's exterior as a complete system to improve efficiency and prevent winter issues.

It depends on the extent of the damage. We offer both gutter repair and replacement services. For minor issues like a few separated seams from ice weight, a repair is often sufficient. However, if the gutters are sagging, extensively bent, or old, a full replacement with a more robust system might be the better long-term investment. During our evaluation, we'll also discuss gutter guards or heating cables as solutions to help prevent future ice blockage problems common in Hanover Park.
