Residential Roof Replacement Project - Morton Grove, Illinois
J&B Home Renovations successfully completed a comprehensive residential roof replacement in Morton Grove, Illinois, delivering a complete roofing system transformation in just two days. This project showcased our efficiency and expertise in residential roofing while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Project Overview
This residential roofing project involved a complete shingle replacement with installation of all essential roofing components. Our experienced crew worked diligently to complete this full roof replacement within a tight 2-day timeline, minimizing disruption to the homeowner while ensuring superior craftsmanship and long-lasting protection for the home.
Services Completed
Complete Shingle Removal and Roof Preparation
We removed all existing roofing shingles down to the roof deck, carefully disposing of old materials and preparing the surface for the new roofing system. Before installing new materials, we inspected the entire roof deck for any damaged, rotted, or compromised plywood or OSB sheathing. Any necessary repairs were completed to ensure a solid, stable foundation for the new roofing system. Our thorough preparation process guarantees optimal performance and longevity for your new roof.
Advanced Waterproofing Protection System
We installed premium ice and water shield membrane in all critical areas, including eaves, valleys, and penetrations. This self-sealing underlayment provides an additional layer of waterproofing protection against ice dams and wind-driven rain, common concerns in Morton Grove’s climate. High-quality synthetic roofing underlayment was installed across the entire roof deck, providing superior moisture protection compared to traditional felt paper. This breathable barrier protects against water infiltration while allowing any trapped moisture to escape from the roofing system.
Essential Roofing Components and Edge Protection
We installed metal drip edge along all eaves and rake edges to direct water away from the fascia and into the gutters. This critical component prevents water damage to the roof deck edges and underlying structure. Special attention was given to roof valleys—the most vulnerable areas for leaks. We installed additional waterproofing materials and properly shingled valleys using industry best practices to ensure water flows efficiently off the roof. Specialized starter strip shingles were installed along all eaves and rake edges to provide proper adhesion and wind resistance.
Premium Architectural Shingle Installation
Premium architectural shingles were installed following manufacturer specifications, including proper nailing patterns, shingle exposure, and alignment. These dimensional shingles are designed to withstand Morton Grove’s challenging weather conditions, including heavy snow loads, summer storms, and temperature fluctuations. The architectural shingles provide superior wind resistance, enhanced curb appeal, and extended warranty protection compared to standard three-tab shingles. High-quality hip and ridge cap shingles were installed on all roof ridges and hips, providing finished appearance and superior weather protection.
Comprehensive Flashing and Penetration Sealing
All roof penetrations including chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and wall intersections received new or properly integrated flashing systems. We used step flashing, counter flashing, and boot flashing as appropriate to create watertight seals around all roof protrusions. Every penetration point was carefully detailed to prevent water infiltration and ensure long-term protection. Our expert flashing installation follows manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices, providing critical defense against leaks at the most vulnerable areas of your roofing system.
Ventilation System for Optimal Roof Performance
To ensure proper attic ventilation, we installed continuous ridge vents along the roof peak. Proper ventilation extends shingle life, reduces energy costs, and prevents moisture buildup in the attic space. This critical component works in conjunction with soffit vents to create balanced airflow throughout the attic, regulating temperature and humidity levels. The ventilation system protects your roof from premature aging, reduces the risk of ice dams in winter, and helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, maximizing your roofing investment.
Project Timeline: 2 Days
Day 1: Tearoff and Preparation Our crew arrived early to begin the complete tearoff of existing shingles and old roofing materials. We protected the property with tarps and ensured safe debris removal. By end of day one, the roof deck was exposed, inspected, repaired as needed, and protected with underlayment.
Day 2: Complete Installation On the second day, we installed all roofing components including ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, ventilation system, and the complete shingle installation. Our efficient workflow and experienced team completed the entire installation, cleanup, and final inspection by day’s end.
