Pro Home Improvements | Siding & Roofing in Palos Heights, IL 60463

Absolutely. While siding and roofing are separate systems, they work together to protect your home. Properly installed and maintained siding directs water away from your roof's edge and flashing. If your siding is damaged, cracked, or improperly sealed, it can allow wind-driven rain to seep behind it and potentially infiltrate the roof structure at the eaves. Our siding replacement and repair services ensure a tight, water-shedding seal that works in harmony with your roof to keep your home dry.

We often recommend it. In Palos Heights, roof flashing—the metal that seals joints around chimneys, vents, and where the roof meets a wall—commonly corrodes. This flashing often integrates with the siding. To properly repair or replace corroded flashing, sections of siding must be carefully removed and reinstalled. Our team, as both roofers and siding experts, can efficiently address both issues in one project, ensuring a seamless, watertight barrier and saving you time and potential future headaches.

For durability against our local weather, we recommend James Hardie fiber cement siding or high-quality vinyl. Fiber cement is exceptionally resistant to impact from wind-blown debris, doesn't rot, and holds paint beautifully for long-term protection. Premium vinyl siding is also a robust, low-maintenance option that can flex under impact. During installation, we pay special attention to sealing and fastening techniques to ensure the siding can withstand high winds, a key factor in preventing the water intrusion that leads to roof leaks.
