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.

Roofs are an integral part of the home's structure. They occasionally need to be replaced or repaired in order to keep the structure in good repair, making it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Roof materials are varied. Homeowners can choose from synthetic substances for low slope roofs. Others may prefer the type of material that is petroleum based.

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.

Companies that install roofs usually offer repair and service. They can be called in when the homeowner needs cleaning and painting. These businesses also repair and maintain the supporting roof areas.
