One Deerfield IL Residential Roofing And Siding Business Helps Homeowners Preserve Their Biggest Investment

By Kelly Blomquist


For many individuals a house is one of the biggest investments they will ever make. Keeping it maintained and protected is vitally important. In northern Illinois, this is one of the reasons your Deerfield IL residential roofing and siding business can come in handy.

Roofs are an integral part of the home's structure. They occasionally need to be replaced or repaired in order to keep the structure in good repair, making it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Low-slope roofing is available in single-ply membranes of thermoplastic (PVC, TPO), or thermoset (EPDM). Customers can also choose polymer-modified bitumen sheet membranes.

There are a wide variety of asphalt shingles available for homes with steep slope roofs including fiberglass tiles of various weights. Some have lifetime guarantees and others have limited warranties. Homeowners can also choose wood shake, shingle, and synthetic roof systems.

Eaves and gutters are an important part of the roof, and they need to be maintained as well. After severe weather, they may have to be repaired or even replaced.

Aluminum gutters, which are the most economical, are not as strong as steel or copper. Though durable, they require considerable maintenance. Stainless steel (galvanized) gutters last the longest, but need to be treated to prevent rust. While durable and low-maintenance, copper gutters can become discolored over time due to oxidation. Vinyl gutters are less durable than other materials, as they are easily affected by heat and cold. However, they require minimal upkeep.

Overhangs, eaves, and other roof sections come in wood, vinyl, and aluminum. They have the same positive and negative material aspects.

Companies that install roofs usually offer repair and service. They can be called in when the homeowner needs cleaning and painting. These businesses also repair and maintain the supporting roof areas.
