United Exteriors And Construction | Roofing Services in Champaign, IL 61821

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealants around the frame or issues with the step flashing integrated into the shingles, exacerbated by our freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains. We fix them by first performing a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point. Repairs typically involve carefully removing surrounding shingles, replacing damaged flashing with new, corrosion-resistant metal, and applying premium sealants. For severe cases, we may recommend a full skylight replacement with a modern, energy-efficient model better suited to our local climate.

Champaign's weather—with its high winds, temperature swings, and ice dams—puts immense stress on roof flashing, the thin metal that seals joints and valleys. Over time, this can cause flashing to corrode, loosen, or pull away. Our repair process starts with a detailed assessment of all flashing points (chimneys, vents, valleys). We then remove the compromised sections, prepare the surface, and install new, heavy-gauge flashing sealed with industry-best techniques. We ensure it's properly integrated with your existing roof system to prevent future leaks and water damage to your home's structure.

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, United Exteriors provides a complete solution.
