Roofing Repairs Or Roof Replacement

Missing Shingles

Over time, single shingles or small groups of shingles can either disappear entirely or become significantly degraded. This deterioration often manifests itself through curling at the edges, cracking, or a noticeable loss of granularity that is essential for the shingles' performance. If the missing or damaged shingles are concentrated in small areas, a simple repair may suffice to restore the roof’s integrity. However, if the damage is more extensive and affects a larger area, it may indicate deeper underlying issues, highlighting the need for a full replacement of the shingles to ensure proper protection and longevity of the roof.

Wind Damages

Wind damage is probably the most common cause of damage found on roofs. Over time, consistent exposure to heavy wind conditions can dislodge the shingles that make up the roof's installation. As these shingles become compromised, they may blow away entirely, break into pieces, or curl at the edges, which can lead to further damage and numerous weather-related issues, including leaks that can affect the interior of your home. It’s crucial to address these problems promptly to prevent more extensive repairs down the line. ARC Chicago Roofing Contractors are here to guide you through the entire process, providing expert consultation on both repair and replacement options tailored to your specific needs

Interior Water Damage

The primary purpose of a roof is to serve as a protective barrier for the interior of the building it rests upon. Regardless of the type of material used—be it shingles, metal, tile, or any other option—if the roof becomes compromised due to storms, the effects of aging, or any number of other factors, the interior of your building is left vulnerable to the elements, including inclement weather and water damage. Once a roof issue arises, it can quickly escalate into a much larger problem, potentially leading to costly repairs and extensive damage. To mitigate these risks, we offer free inspections to identify and address potential leak issues before they develop into significant complications. Taking proactive measures can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Exterior Water Damage

An impaired roof can lead to significant exterior water damage, which can have a ripple effect on various components of your home. One of the most telling signs that your roof may be experiencing damage is by inspecting the soffits. If you notice that they are rotted, bloated, or deformed in any way, there is a strong likelihood that the issue originates from a leak somewhere in the roof. Undetected or unresolved, rotting soffits can create additional complications, potentially compromising other aspects of your home's exterior structure, such as siding, fascia boards, and even the integrity of your home’s walls. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and to maintain the overall health and safety of your home.
