Mc Cumsey Construction | Roofing Services in Farmer City, IL 61842

In our area, roof valley leaks are often caused by heavy rain, ice dam buildup, or worn flashing. Valleys channel a lot of water, so any weakness leads to interior damage. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the issue, which is often compromised underlayment or sealant. Our repair involves removing the affected shingles, installing new, high-quality ice and water shield underlayment for superior protection, and replacing the flashing and shingles with precision. For severe cases, a partial or full valley replacement ensures a long-term solution that handles our local weather patterns.

We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year for most Farmer City homes—typically in late spring and early fall. This schedule helps clear spring blossoms and seeds, then preps for autumn leaves before winter sets in. If your property has many overhanging trees, more frequent cleanings may be necessary to prevent clogs that cause water overflow and damage to your roof, fascia, and foundation. As a full-service provider, we offer professional cleaning and can install gutter guards to significantly reduce maintenance needs.

Absolutely. In fact, coordinating a skylight installation during a roof replacement is ideal. It allows us to integrate the skylight's flashing seamlessly into the new roofing system from the start, which is the best method for preventing future leaks. We carefully frame the opening, install a weather-tight curb or deck-mounted unit, and ensure the surrounding shingles are layered correctly for proper water runoff. This integrated approach, backed by our 25 years of experience, provides a cleaner finish and more durable result than adding a skylight to an existing roof.
