SW Roofing & Construction | Roofing Services in Dekalb, IL 60115

Our thorough 17-point inspection is designed to give DeKalb homeowners a complete picture of their roof's health. We examine critical areas like shingles, flashing, vents, and the attic for signs of wear, moisture, or damage. This process helps us identify specific issues common in our climate, such as ice dam potential or ridge cap deterioration, and provides a clear, honest recommendation for repair, maintenance, or replacement if needed.

Ice dams and ridge cap damage are frequent concerns for local homes due to our freeze-thaw cycles. For ice dams, we focus on prevention through proper attic insulation and ventilation assessments during our inspection, and we offer careful repairs to any resulting interior or shingle damage. Ridge cap damage, often caused by wind, is addressed by replacing compromised caps with high-quality, wind-resistant materials and secure fastening techniques to restore your roof's seal and protection.

The best service depends on your gutter's condition. We start with an inspection. Often, seasonal cleaning and minor repairs are all that's needed to keep water flowing away from your DeKalb home's foundation. If gutters are sagging, leaking at seams, or pulling away from the house, a repair might suffice. Full replacement is recommended when they are chronically clogged, rusted through, or damaged beyond repair, ensuring proper pitch and capacity for our local rainfall.
