What Illinois's climate means for your roofing
Local conditions change which materials and methods make sense.
- Heavy snow and ice dams
An ice-and-water shield along the eaves and good attic ventilation are what stop ice dams. Make sure both are in the quote.
- Freeze-thaw cycles
Freeze-thaw cycles open up small cracks in flashing and sealant, so ask the roofer to check every penetration.
- Hail
Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles are worth pricing here; they cost more up front but hold up far better in hail-prone areas.
- Timing
Late spring through early fall is the busiest window; booking in shoulder months often means faster scheduling.
