Work-right Construction: Experienced Roofing Services Serving Chicago, IL 60622

Yes, noticing shingle granules in your gutters is a common early warning sign of roof wear, especially after our area's freeze-thaw cycles and storms. Granule loss exposes the asphalt layer to UV rays, accelerating aging and leading to leaks. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the extent of the damage. At Work-right Construction, our inspection can determine if targeted roof repair or a section replacement is needed to prevent further deterioration and protect your Chicago home.

A damaged ridge cap is a critical issue as it seals the peak of your roof. In Chicago, high winds and ice dams are common culprits. Proper repair isn't just about replacing shingles; it requires sealing the underlying ridge vent (if present) and ensuring proper attic ventilation to prevent future ice dams. Our roofing team specializes in this precise repair, using high-wind rated materials and techniques to restore the integrity of your roof's most vulnerable point, helping you avoid interior water damage.

Absolutely. Proper exterior masonry work is foundational to your home's health. In Chicago, poor drainage from driveways or patios can lead to water pooling near your foundation, which increases soil pressure on basement walls and can contribute to interior wall cracks. It can also saturate the ground around your home, affecting roof ventilation systems. When we construct a new driveway, patio, or retaining wall, we engineer the slope and base for correct drainage away from your home, protecting both your foundation and the overall structure that supports your roof.
