Roofing Services Chicago IL | Call New Way Roofing And Construction

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep the roof deck cold. For existing issues, our roof repair services include sealing roof penetrations, repairing or replacing damaged flashing, and installing heated gutter cables or ice and water shield underlayment at the eaves. We also ensure your gutters are properly sloped and clear of debris to allow for free drainage before winter hits.

Yes, it can. In Chicago, corroded or failed roof flashing allows water to seep behind walls and into the structure. This water can travel down, potentially saturating the soil around your foundation or leaking into basements. Over time, this moisture can contribute to foundation cracks and settlement. Addressing flashing issues promptly with our roof repair or exterior wall repair services helps protect your entire home's structural integrity.

For durability against our freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and wind, we recommend high-quality asphalt shingles with a strong wind rating or metal roofing. For flat or low-slope sections common on Chicago homes, modified bitumen or TPO membranes are excellent choices. During our new roof installation or reroofing process, we pay special attention to flashing details, ice and water barriers at critical points, and ventilation to create a system specifically engineered for local conditions.
