Getting Flashy with Flashing

There is something classic about a roof that is flashed to highlight the natural architecture of your home - it is a special channel that highlights the angles in your roof.

Better than that - copper lasts forever too.

As you settle into your home, the copper begins to get a nice patina and shows age and maturity. Something money can’t buy.

Our craftsmen who understands the flex of the material, taking sheets of copper and bending them to measurements of your roof, not factory measurements bent to fit. That kind of mastery can’t be bought, it is the passed through generations.

Get value out of your roof.

Best thing about cold weather? A warm, dry and protected home!

Often those 20, 25 and 30 year shingles wear out early because the planning was wrong. Not calculating proper ventilation or wrapping shingles in valleys and sloppy cuts in flashing all can cause problems around 1/5th of the cost of a new roof.

Imagine that! Your roof is only 15 years old and you need a new valley. All of a sudden you have a big project on your hands.

Valley Tear out in Orland Park

We’re in the neighborhood.

Our service is always on call to fix a leak. A customer just called us to check out a leak in their dinning room. Some stains had shown up on the ceiling, so they wanted to know what was happening.

Make it stop!

This is how it goes…

Once we schedule a time to meet, our service technician starts with a simple investigation. He first checks the inside to see the leak and figure out the most likely source of the leak.

After he checks the ceiling, he’ll crawl in the attic to pin point the leak. This is the best way to make sure you know the exact problem. We see water travel all the time - sometimes even moving sideways.

He then set up a ladder and double checked the roof to confirm. Frequently it wear and tear from the tough weather. Summer or Winter, Chicago is relentless.

After taking some photos to show you, he’ll explain the issue and how to repair the leak. By asking you a few question about budget and priorities, we’ll be able to offer you an option that fulfills your desires.

Once we agree on a plan of action, we can return with material to complete the work. We do our best to make our material match the original. This keeps your home looking nice, while also keeping you watertight.

Its as simple as that. Our team not only works to ensure we know the full issue, but work with you to bring value to your investment. No sales or marketing - just you, us and the leak.

We are a local company serving the neighborhood.

Orland, Tinley, Mokena, Frankfort, Homer Glen and New Lenox - friends and family around us.

As a fully licensed incorporation by Illinois and Indiana State, Cook and Will County, all the way to the village hall, we save you the hassle of permits with the peace of mind of a certified enterprise.

Make your house a little more Flashy

Many people often think about the roof as just the shingles and covering ‘the field’. Yet one of the weakest points of a roof is where water runs along the walls. This is where flashing comes in handy.

Some flashing is put up just to cover this area, but we like to take the time and make your flashing a little more flashy.

We’ve been ‘hanging’ flashing for decades. Once we figured out the technical aspects, we started to design the pieces. Nice clean lines, matching the mortar and customizing to the pitch of your roof, especially highlights your homes features.

Over the many years we have been tackling a few larger projects. We installed a large copper front porch, matching the swoops and valleys and custom cutting each panel. It was a long process to get everything right, but a proud moment to see it all complete.

We’ve taken the time to register with your local village hall and county. Whether Dupage, Will, Cook, Kankakee or Grundy, we are covered to bring you protection.

We service from Arlington Heights, Naperville, Downers Grove, Burr Ridge and Hinsdale to Frankfort and Orland Park. Use a roofer you can trust for the length of your roof, not just the project.
