Lighthouse Roofing and Masonry | Professional Roofing Repair in Chicago, IL

Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and moisture are tough on roofs. For roof deck rot, we first assess the full extent of the damage from the attic. We then remove all compromised decking and replace it with new, treated plywood to ensure a solid base before installing new roofing materials. For corroded flashing—common around chimneys and vents—we carefully remove the old material, clean and prepare the area, and install new, heavy-gauge metal flashing sealed properly to prevent future leaks. Our approach focuses on fixing the root cause to provide a lasting solution.

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service roofing and masonry contractor, we are uniquely equipped to handle combined projects. For a project from the ground up. We can construct a durable concrete or paver patio, build any necessary retaining or decorative walls, and then install a complementary overhead structure, such as a pergola with a proper roof or skylights. Managing both trades under one roof ensures better coordination, a consistent quality standard, and often a more efficient timeline for your outdoor living project.

Our thorough roof inspection is a proactive measure to safeguard your home. We examine shingles or membrane for cracks and wear, check all flashing points for seals, clear and assess gutters for proper drainage, and inspect the attic for signs of moisture, leaks, or inadequate ventilation. Before a Chicago winter, this is critical. Identifying and repairing minor issues like a small leak or loose shingle now can prevent them from turning into major, costly problems like ice dams or interior water damage during freezing temperatures. We provide a detailed report and honest recommendations.
