As an Illinois roofing company, we understand the unique challenges homeowners and businesses face when it comes to protecting your property from the harsh winter weather. With extreme temperature swings, heavy snowfall, and powerful winds, our state’s climate can wreak havoc on roofs if they’re not properly maintained and equipped to handle the elements!
That’s why we’re committed to helping our clients throughout Illinois get their roofs winter ready – ensuring their homes and commercial buildings are safeguarded against the unpredictable realities of the season.
Preparing Your Residential Roof for Winter
As a homeowner, your roof is your first line of defense against the harsh Illinois winters. A well-maintained, winter-ready roof can make all the difference in keeping your family warm, dry, and protected.
At EBG Construction, we recommend starting your winter roof prep early, ideally in the fall. This is the perfect time to schedule a comprehensive roof inspection with our team of roofing experts. We’ll thoroughly examine your roof, gutters, and downspouts, checking for any issues that could compromise its performance when the cold weather hits.
Our detailed inspection reports will give you a clear understanding of your roof’s condition and any maintenance needed to get it winter ready. This may include repairs, gutter cleaning, or even a complete roof replacement if your current system is nearing the end of its lifespan.
When it comes to choosing the right roofing material for winter, we recommend our clients opt for the superior durability and weather resistance of GAF shingles. Tested to the industry’s highest standards, these shingles can withstand the harshest winter conditions, ensuring your home stays safe and secure all season long.
Preparing Your Commercial Roof for Winter
Protecting your commercial property is just as crucial as safeguarding your home, if not more so. A well-maintained, winter-ready roof is essential for keeping your business operational and your employees and customers comfortable, even in the depths of an Illinois winter. Good thing we have extensive experience helping business owners prepare their roofs for the cold, snow, and ice!
We start by conducting a thorough roof inspection, just as we would for a residential client. This allows us to identify any issues that need to be addressed before winter arrives. One of the most important aspects of commercial roof winterization is ensuring proper insulation and ventilation. Inadequate insulation can lead to ice dams and other costly problems, while poor ventilation can cause moisture buildup and accelerated deterioration of the roofing system. Our team will work with you to optimize your roof’s thermal performance and air circulation, safeguarding your investment for years to come.
For commercial properties, we often recommend the superior protection of a Duro-Last roofing system. This high-performance membrane is designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, providing unparalleled resistance to water intrusion, wind, and impact damage. With a Duro-Last roof, you can rest assured that your business will remain operational and protected, even in the depths of an Illinois winter.
