Homeowners Learn About Roof Maintenance With Deerfield IL Roofing Company

By Kelly Blomquist


Homes need regular updating to keep them looking their best and to minimize or prevent damage. A Deerfield IL residential roofing and siding company provides roofing and related services to help homeowners protect their investment.

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.

Homeowners may also need to repair or replace the apparatus that supports the roof. Gutters reroute rainwater downward from the roof, away from the foundation, to minimize damage to the structure and surrounding landscaping. Soffits connect the roof to the sides of the home, protecting rafters from weather elements. Fascias are boards that run along the roofline and protect the gutters. The Deerfield IL residential roofing and siding company provides maintenance and repair to structures that protect the roof.

Gutters can be made of different materials. Aluminum is relatively inexpensive but it doesn't last as long as steel or copper. Copper needs cleaning periodically and can discolor. Steel gutters last a long time, but they tend to rust.

Fascias and soffits are available in aluminum, vinyl, and wood.

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.
