Mike Collins Roofing | Roofing Services in Cicero, IL 60804

Ice dams are a common winter issue here due to our freeze-thaw cycles. The best prevention is a combination of proper attic insulation to minimize heat loss and installing a waterproof membrane or ice and water shield along your roof's edges. We can assess your current setup and recommend targeted upgrades, like improved ventilation or heated gutter cables, to stop ice buildup before it causes leaks and water damage inside your home.

First, contain any interior water damage safely and document it for insurance. Then, call us promptly for an emergency inspection. We'll quickly identify the source—often compromised shingles, flashing, or seals around vents—and provide a temporary patch to prevent further damage. Our long-term repair focuses on reinforcing the vulnerable area to withstand future storms, which are frequent in our region, ensuring your roof is sealed tight.

Cicero's specific weather patterns and common architectural styles mean roofing problems often follow predictable patterns. A local roofer like us has firsthand experience with how our storms, temperature swings, and wind affect homes here. This allows us to diagnose issues faster and implement solutions—like specific flashing techniques or material choices—that are proven to hold up to local conditions, saving you time and providing more durable repairs.
