Roofs in Rolling Meadows: What We See
Rolling Meadows grew out of the 1950s, when builder Kimball Hill put up whole neighborhoods of modest ranch homes on former farmland. Many of those houses have been expanded over the years with additions and second stories, so one roof can combine several pitches and ages of decking.
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.
Ranch homes have long, continuous eaves, so gutter pitch over a long run and enough downspouts matter more than on a compact house.
Roofing Permits in Rolling Meadows
Building permits in Rolling Meadows are issued by the City of Rolling Meadows (City Hall, 3600 Kirchoff Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008). We confirm what each job needs with the city and pull the permit whenever one is required.
Illinois law requires roofing contractors to hold a State of Illinois roofing license before a village that requires a permit can issue one.

Weather and Roofs in Rolling Meadows
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 Rolling Meadows Roofs
Every Rolling Meadows 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.
