Roofs in Wood Dale: What We See
Wood Dale is a compact DuPage County city of modest 1950s-to-1970s ranches, raised ranches and two-stories, set between Salt Creek and the industrial corridor west of O’Hare.
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. 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.
Ranch homes have long, continuous eaves, so gutter pitch over a long run and enough downspouts matter more than on a compact house.

Weather and Roofs in Wood Dale
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 Wood Dale Roofs
Every Wood Dale 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. We tell you what time the crew arrives, what to move away from the house and how long the work will take. When we’re done, the yard is swept for nails and you get before-and-after photos.
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.
