What should I do with my gutters?

Typically, the removal and replacement of gutters will allow the installation of ice and water shield onto fascia boards which would seal the outside edge from water infiltration in ice damming conditions. We can replace gutters with or without a new roof. We install copper, galvanized steel and aluminum gutters. Our roofing professionals will be able to determine this for you, and explain the benefits of replacing your roof and gutters together.

Shingle Roof Replacement in Orland Park

Here is a shingle roof we recently replaced on a church in Orland Park. To accompany a new roof we are also installing custom made steel box gutters, new aluminum siding, and new steel soffit and fascia. Big projects are always appreciated by us as they offer an opportunity to showcase our efficiency.

This shingle roof in Orland Park was replaced with GAF Timberline Ultra HD shingles, which are thicker and offer more protection from the elements. Since this is a church roof, the details drawn by the architect had to be followed to the dot to make sure the roof will last for years without any issues. Custom sized steel gutters and downspouts made by our sheet metal crews tie in the roof to the new steel soffit and fascia we had to install. New sheet metal cladding and saddles promote water flow from roof top penetration curbs and prevent leaks in the future. The new siding on the gable puts everything together, and with a custom color and design of ridge vent, this roof showed us how quickly we can adapt to new styles and requirements of roofing projects. This shingle roof replacement in Orland Park is one we are very proud of.

Proper Gutter Maintenance

Proper gutter maintenance is the #1 way to prevent expensive water damage to your home. Gutters are designed to do one thing — channel water away from the foundation — and they’re critical to protecting the structural integrity of your house. However, in order for gutters to do their job properly, they need to be maintained the property, and have to be kept free of clogs, holes, and sags.

Here are the most common gutter problems and how to fix them:

Clogged Gutters – This is the most common problem of all. Left untended, gutters and downspouts get so clogged with debris that they’re rendered useless. The excess weight of leaves, twigs, and standing water can also make them sag and pull away from the fascia. Clean them at least once a year, and twice a year if you have a lot of trees nearby.

Sagging Gutters – This is usually a problem with the hangers, the hardware that secures the gutters to the fascia. They might have deteriorated over time, the fasteners may have backed out of the wood, or they’re spaced too far apart to support the weight of full gutters. The cost to fix it yourself is cheap; hangers generally cost $10 or less apiece, and the fasteners run about $1 each.

Leaks and Holes – Leaks in gutter joints can be sealed by caulking the joint from the inside with gutter sealant. A tube costs about $5. Very small holes can be filled with gutter sealant. Larger holes will require a patch.

Downspouts Draining Too Close to the Foundation – Downspouts need to extend several feet from the house, or they’ll dump right into the basement. Gutter extensions attached to the bottom of the downspout will discharge water well beyond the foundation. They’re inexpensive and easy to install.

Roof Maintenance & Inspections

Fall is the time for roof maintenance, roof inspections and roof repairs. Before the cold, snowy weather returns, contact us to schedule maintenance and repairs to your roof.

Gutters: Gutters are one of the most important parts of a home, and blocked gutters are a big source of leaks. If gutters are clogged with leaves, shingle granules, branches, and other debris, then water can’t funnel off the roof and away from the house. That can cause severe damage to the roof, walls, and gutters, and can be quite pricey to fix.

Shingles: An inspection will uncover any shingle tabs that have come loose or have broken, curled, or warped. Another possibility is that a branch could’ve fallen on the roof and caused damage. These simple repairs will help avoid costly water issues down the road.

Vents: Neoprene or rubber can crack with age, while critters can cause damage to any vented area on the roof. Resealing will fix these vent problems and help keep animals and water out.

Flashings: Chimneys have three potential issues: flashing, siding, and the cap that can contribute to leaks. An inspection will ensure the area is properly flashed and sealed. Flashing on skylights can easily get water trapped behind them as well.

Attic: Many times it’s the attic that is the source of the problem rather than the roof. Issues such as improper ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning, fans, or animal or bug infestation can cause mold, algae, or moisture condensation in the attic space.
