Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle the common Chicago problem of ice dams and skylight leaks?
Ice dams are a major concern for Chicago roofs due to our freeze-thaw cycles. We address this by conducting thorough inspections of your roof's ventilation, insulation, and water barriers to identify weak points. For repair or replacement, we install proper ice and water shield underlayment at critical areas like eaves and valleys to prevent water infiltration. Regarding skylight leaks, we inspect the flashing and sealant integrity, which often fail due to temperature fluctuations and settling. Our repair process involves resealing with high-grade, flexible materials or, if necessary, a full skylight replacement using methods designed for our local climate to ensure a long-lasting seal.
What should I consider when converting my wood-burning fireplace to a gas heating system?
Converting a fireplace is a great way to improve efficiency and convenience. Our process starts with a detailed inspection of your existing chimney structure to ensure it can safely vent a gas system. We then help you choose the right insert or log set for your needs and home layout. Our licensed technicians handle the gas line installation, venting modifications, and final setup with all necessary safety checks. As a family-owned business with 25 years of experience, we prioritize safety and proper installation, ensuring your new gas fireplace provides reliable, clean heat for years to come, all while maintaining the character of your Chicago home.
Can you handle both the masonry and roofing work for my chimney repair?
Yes, absolutely. As a full-service exterior contractor, we are uniquely equipped to handle the entire chimney system. Many chimney issues, like crumbling mortar or water stains on the interior ceiling, involve both the masonry structure and the roof flashing where the chimney meets the shingles. Our team can repair or rebuild the brickwork, repoint the mortar, and then expertly repair or replace the custom-fitted roof flashing and surrounding shingles to create a watertight seal. This integrated approach prevents the common problem of one trade blaming the other, ensuring a cohesive, durable repair that protects your home from Chicago's wind and rain.
