Roofs in Hanover Park: What We See

Hanover Park straddles the Cook–DuPage county line. Most homes date from the 1960s and 1970s, with ranches, split-levels and townhome communities along Lake Street and Barrington Road.

Homes from the 1960s and 1970s have usually been re-roofed at least once. The quality of that earlier work, from nailing and flashing to whether the old layers were removed, decides how today’s roof performs. Split-levels and raised ranches have roof planes that run into sidewalls. That means step flashing and kick-out flashing, and those wall-to-roof joints are where many of the leaks we trace actually begin. Townhome and condominium associations often control shingle color and style, and attached buildings share roof sections, so the work has to be coordinated with the association and the neighbors.

Many 1960s and 1970s homes still have older sectional gutters, with seams every few feet and hangers that are worn out after decades of ice.

Weather and Roofs in Hanover Park

Northern Illinois roofs work hard: hail and straight-line winds in spring and summer, heavy snow, and dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Ice dams at the eaves are one of the most common causes of winter leaks we see.

Gutters here have to handle heavy summer downpours and then carry the weight of snow and ice all winter. Undersized gutters overflow in July, and poorly fastened ones get pulled down in February.

How We Work on Hanover Park Roofs

Every Hanover Park job starts with an inspection of the roof surface and, where we can get in, the attic. We photograph what we find, explain whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and put it in a written estimate. On the day of the job we protect landscaping and the driveway, set up safety equipment and keep the site organized. At the end we run magnetic sweeps for nails and walk the finished work with you.

Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane that seals around nails. It goes at the eaves to protect against ice dams, in the valleys, and around chimneys and other penetrations. Synthetic underlayment covers the rest of the deck as a second line of defense. When warm attic air melts snow on the upper roof, the water refreezes at the cold eaves and forms a dam. Meltwater backs up behind it and works under the shingles. Ice and water shield at the eaves protects the deck, and good attic ventilation and insulation stop the melting that causes the dam in the first place.
