FAQs
How fast can your team repair a leaking roof in Andersonville?
Because we maintain a dedicated emergency crew in Andersonville, we can typically be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call, 24/7, 365 days a year. Most minor leaks are fully sealed the same day. If a full system repair is required, we install a temporary water-tight membrane immediately and schedule the permanent fix for the next clear-weather window.
What signs should I look for to know if my roof is leaking?
Visible water stains on ceilings or walls, bubbling paint, musty odors in the attic, and shingles that are curled, cracked, or missing are all common indicators. You might also notice granules from asphalt shingles collecting in gutters or downspouts. If you spot any of these warning signs, call us right away—catching the leak early prevents costly structural damage and mold growth.
What repair methods and materials do you use for fast leak fixes?
After a detailed moisture-mapping inspection, we select the repair that offers the longest life at the best value. For asphalt shingles, we may replace damaged courses and install an ice-and-water underlayment patch. For metal or flat roofs, we use high-performance polyurethane or silicone membranes rated for Andersonville’s freeze-thaw cycles. All sealants are low-VOC and meet ASTM D6694 standards, ensuring a durable, environmentally responsible solution.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with Andersonville building codes?
Yes. We hold an Illinois Unlimited Roofing License (#104-017XXX) and carry $2 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation coverage. Our project managers pull the necessary City of Chicago permits and strictly follow local code requirements, including the Chicago Energy Conservation Code for insulation R-values and the Historic Preservation Commission guidelines for older Andersonville homes.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the leak repair, and do you help with claims?
Most policies cover sudden or accidental water intrusion caused by storms, falling debris, or ice dams. We provide a digital inspection report with photos, moisture readings, and repair estimates formatted to Xactimate standards—exactly what adjusters need. Upon request, we’ll meet the adjuster on-site to advocate for full, fair coverage and can direct-bill many carriers once the claim is approved.
What do your fast leak repairs cost and what warranties do you offer?
Small shingle or flashing repairs start at $375, while moderate repairs average $750–$1,200. Larger structural or membrane restorations are quoted after inspection. All repairs include a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty; premium systems qualify for up to 10 years. Material warranties range from 20-50 years depending on the product used, and all warranties are transferable if you sell your Andersonville property.
