roof leak repair for Mount Prospect homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
If your Mount Prospect roof has been caulked twice and still leaks, the caulk was never the answer. Most of the stubborn ones come down to flashing at a chimney or wall, a valley that was never lapped right, or fasteners that have backed out.
Our roof leak repair work in Mount Prospect is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Mount Prospect roof leak repair for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
If it is not obvious we test with water rather than guessing and charging you for a repair that fixes nothing.
Materials get matched as close as we can so the repair blends into the roof around it.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Mount Prospect homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Mount Prospect home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Mount Prospect ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Yes, and it is included. A Mount Prospect roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"The skylight had leaked for two years and three different people had caulked it. These folks reflashed it properly and that was the end of it."
