Field notes

Common Reasons for Roof Replacement in Glen Ellyn

  1. Hail Damage

    Glen Ellyn experiences hailstorms that can bruise asphalt shingles, granule loss, and expose the mat, leading to leaks and accelerated aging.

  2. Ice Dams

    Heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams along eaves, forcing water under shingles and damaging the roof deck.

  3. Wind Uplift

    Strong winds from storms can lift and tear shingles, especially on older roofs with weakened sealant strips.

  4. Algae and Moss Growth

    Humid summers promote algae and moss on north-facing slopes, trapping moisture and degrading shingles over time.

  5. Aging Shingles

    Many homes in Glen Ellyn have original 20-year-old asphalt shingles that are nearing end of life, with curling, cracking, and granule loss.

The process

What to Expect During a Roof Replacement in Glen Ellyn

In Illinois, roofing contractors must be licensed by the state. Your local building department will require a permit for roof replacement. The process starts with an inspection to assess the structure and measure the roof. After selecting materials, the crew removes old shingles, inspects the deck, and makes repairs if needed. They install underlayment, ice and water shield along eaves, new flashing, and shingles. A final inspection by the village ensures code compliance. Work typically takes one to three days, depending on roof size and complexity.
