Common Roofing Problems in Skokie
Ice Dams & Winter Damage
Chicago winters create ice dams when warm attic air melts snow that refreezes at roof edges. This causes water backup under shingles, leading to interior leaks and water damage.
Our Solution: We improve attic ventilation and insulation to maintain proper temperature balance. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and adequate insulation prevent ice dam formation.
Storm Damage from Severe Weather
Severe thunderstorms, high winds, and hail are common in Skokie. These storms can tear off shingles, damage flashing, and puncture roofing materials.
Our Solution: We conduct thorough storm damage inspections, document all damage for insurance claims, and provide emergency repairs followed by permanent restoration.
Roof Leaks & Water Intrusion
Roof leaks often start small but quickly cause extensive damage to insulation, drywall, and structural framing. Early detection is critical.
Our Solution: Our 50-point inspections identify problem areas before they become major leaks. We repair damaged areas and address underlying causes to prevent recurrence.
Poor Ventilation Issues
Inadequate attic ventilation traps heat and moisture, causing premature shingle failure, ice dams, and mold growth.
Our Solution: We install proper ventilation systems including ridge vents, soffit vents, and gable vents to maintain healthy airflow and extend roof life.
Aging & Deteriorating Roofs
Roofs older than 20 years lose protective granules, become brittle, and fail to provide adequate weather protection.
Our Solution: We recommend timely roof replacement before minor issues become major problems. New roofing systems provide decades of reliable protection.
Failed Flashing Around Chimneys & Vents
Improperly installed or aging flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks, especially around chimneys, skylights, and plumbing vents.
Our Solution: We remove old flashing, repair any water damage, and install new step flashing and counter flashing using proper weatherproofing techniques.

How much does a new roof cost in Skokie?
Most residential roof replacements range from $8,000 to $18,000 depending on home size, roofing material, pitch, and complexity. We provide free, detailed estimates with transparent pricing. Factors affecting cost include square footage, number of layers to remove, roof pitch and accessibility, material selection, and structural repairs needed.
How long does a roof last in the Chicago area?
Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-30 years in Chicago’s climate. Metal roofs can last 50+ years. Regular maintenance and proper ventilation help maximize roof lifespan. We recommend professional inspections every 3-5 years.

What's included in your free roof inspection?
Our 50-point inspection examines shingles for damage and wear, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutters and downspouts, attic ventilation, signs of leaks or water damage, structural integrity, and remaining roof lifespan estimate. You’ll receive a detailed report with photos and recommendations.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes, we assist with the entire insurance claim process including documenting damage with photos and reports, meeting with insurance adjusters, providing detailed estimates, and working directly with your insurance company.
Will you match my existing shingles for repairs?
We make every effort to match existing shingles for repairs. However, discontinuation and weathering can affect matching. We’ll discuss the best options for seamless repairs.
How long does roof installation take?
Most residential roof replacements take 2-3 days for average-sized homes. Larger homes or complex projects may take 4-5 days. Weather can affect timelines.
What happens if it rains during installation?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and protect your home with tarps if rain is expected. If weather prevents work, we’ll reschedule and ensure your home stays protected.
Do I need to be home during installation?
No, you don’t need to be home. We’ll discuss access needs beforehand and keep you updated on progress throughout the day.
What's the best time of year for roof replacement?
Spring through fall offers ideal conditions. However, we install roofs year-round in Chicago. Modern materials and techniques allow for quality installations even in cooler weather.
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
During our free inspection, we assess damage extent, roof age, and cost-effectiveness of repairs versus replacement. We provide honest recommendations based on your roof’s condition and your budget.
Trusted by Skokie Residents and Local Businesses
Michael Kowalski - Skokie Homeowner
After the March windstorm damaged half our roof, I called three contractors. J&B was the only one who came out the same day and gave a detailed assessment without trying to upsell. Their crew explained which materials would hold up best against North Shore winters. They finished our roof replacement in two days, cleaned up perfectly, and the price was exactly what they quoted. I’ve already recommended them to my neighbor on Oakton Street. When you need roof repair in Skokie, call J&B first.
Sarah Chen - Old Orchard Commercial Property
Our commercial building near Old Orchard had a persistent leak that three other contractors couldn’t fix. J&B’s crew identified the real problem—flashing issues around our HVAC units that previous contractors missed. They explained the whole repair process and showed me photos. The work came with a 10-year warranty, and pricing was transparent from day one. Six months later, no leaks even after heavy spring rains. Any Skokie business owner should call J&B Home Renovations.
Robert Patel - Skokie Resident
J&B replaced our gutters and downspouts last fall before winter. The crew arrived exactly when promised, used high-quality materials that match our home’s style, and worked efficiently despite cold October weather. What impressed me most was how they protected our landscaping and left our property cleaner than they found it. The project manager answered all my questions without rushing me. Fair pricing, professional service, and excellent results. I’m telling everyone in Skokie—this is the roofing contractor you want.
