FAQs
As a Chicago homeowner, what should I do if I discover a leak around my skylight after a storm?
Skylight leaks are a common issue here due to our temperature swings and heavy weather. First, safely contain any interior water damage. Then, contact a professional like Pioneer Exteriors. Our team, led by a licensed roofer and public adjuster, can perform a thorough inspection to determine if the issue is with the skylight seal, flashing, or surrounding roof structure. We provide clear repair options and can assist with documenting damage for insurance claims, ensuring a lasting fix for your Chicago home.
How do I know if my gutters need repair or a full replacement?
Signs you need repair include minor leaks, small holes, or sections pulling away from the fascia. Full replacement is often recommended if you see extensive rust, large cracks, frequent clogs causing overflow, or if the gutters are sagging and detaching from the home. During our gutter inspection, we assess the system's condition, slope, and capacity for Chicago's rain and snow. With our long experience, we'll advise on the most practical and cost-effective solution, whether it's a targeted repair or a new installation with improved drainage.
What is involved in your roof inspection process?
Our comprehensive roof inspection evaluates the entire system. We check shingles for curling, cracking, or loss of granules; examine flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights; inspect the underlayment and decking for soft spots; and assess gutters and ventilation. For Chicago homes, we pay special attention to areas prone to ice dam damage and storm debris impact. You'll receive a detailed report with photos, an assessment of the roof's remaining lifespan, and honest recommendations for maintenance, repair, or replacement based on our findings.
