A Deerfield IL Residential Roofing And Siding Company Helps People Maintain Their Homes' Exteriors

By Kelly Blomquist


Owning a home is a dream for many people. Those who achieve this goal usually understand the importance of protecting their investment. The exterior of the home needs to be carefully maintained to maximize its longevity. In Illinois, a Deerfield IL residential roofing and siding company can help make that happen.

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.

For steep-slope roofing, several types of shingles are available. Three-tap asphalt fiberglass shingles (traditional style) are guaranteed to last 25 years. Laminated asphalt fiberglass shingles (architectural style) have a limited lifetime guarantee. Heavyweight asphalt fiberglass shingles, available in various styles, come with a lifetime guarantee. Customers may also select metal steep-sloping roof systems, wood shakes and shingles, and synthetic roofing systems.

Protecting the areas around roofs is also important. They occasionally need repairing and replacing, and a good roof company will be able to assess the current condition of these areas. Gutters need to be maintained in order to keep the structure strong, for instance.

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.

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.
