Roofs in Mount Prospect: What We See
Mount Prospect has older homes near downtown and the Metra line, and large neighborhoods of post-war ranches, Cape Cods and split-levels built through the 1950s and 1960s. Original plank decking and low-slope additions are common.
Older homes near downtown often have steeper pitches, chimneys, dormers and original plank decking. Chimney flashing and soft spots in old boards are common findings. Long, low ranch rooflines often still sit on their original 1950s or 1960s board decking. We regularly find two layers of shingles, undersized attic ventilation and low-slope additions that were never flashed properly into the main roof.
Older homes near downtown often have deep eaves, original wood fascia and box gutters that have been covered over. What’s behind the existing gutter matters.

Weather and Roofs in Mount Prospect
Between summer thunderstorms with hail, strong winds that lift shingle edges, and winter ice dams at the eaves, roofs in the northwest suburbs take more abuse than the age on the paperwork suggests.
Spring storms, fall leaves and winter ice all test gutters in the northwest suburbs. Correct sizing, pitch and fastening are what keep them working through all four seasons.
How We Work on Mount Prospect Roofs
Every Mount Prospect 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.
