Homeowners Learn About Roof Maintenance With Deerfield IL Roofing Company

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.

At some point, a roof may need to be replaced. A new roof increases the home's value, enhances its appearance, and helps keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Roofs can be constructed from a variety of materials. Low slope roofs are sometimes made of petroleum based material. Other homeowners prefer synthetic substances.

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.

Homeowners can choose from aluminum, wood, and vinyl for eaves, overhangs, and other parts of a roof. Some materials are more durable than others.

In addition to roof replacement and repair, the Deerfield IL residential roofing and siding company maintains gutters, fascias, and soffits. Services include repairs, leaf guard installation, cleaning, and painting.
