Roofing contractor in Tinley Park, Illinois
We work Tinley Park regularly and have done for years. Tear-offs, decking replacement, shingles and flat roofs, from a crew based in the South Suburbs rather than one driving in from three counties away.
What Tinley Park roofs are usually dealing with
Much of Tinley Park's housing went up between the 1970s and the 1990s, which puts a great many of its roofs into their second or third covering. That is the point where the question stops being about the shingles and starts being about the decking underneath them, because each previous re-roof is another set of nail holes and another layer of weight.
The other thing that shapes work out here is the wind exposure. Tinley Park has a lot of open subdivision layout and not much mature tree cover on the newer streets, so ridges and the windward slope take a beating that a sheltered city block does not.
We check the deck before we shingle
On a job in nearby Harvey we stripped a roof and found the plywood underneath had taken on enough water that it would not hold a nail properly. That decking came off and went back down new before any underlayment or shingle touched it.
It is a step that adds cost on the day and it is the step most often skipped, because a homeowner cannot see it once the shingles are on. On a house that is already on its second or third roof — which in Tinley Park is most of them — it is also the step that decides whether you get twenty years out of the new roof or seven.
A local crew, not a storm chaser
After a bad hail or wind event, out-of-state crews arrive in the South Suburbs in numbers, work fast, and are gone. If something goes wrong the following spring, so is the phone number.
We have been working these towns since 1981 with the same six-man crew. That is not a sales line — it is the practical reason to use somebody local, which is that we are still here and still findable.
Masonry too, while we are out here
Roofs and chimneys sit next to each other and fail together. If we are on your Tinley Park roof we will look at the chimney and its flashing, and tell you if the mortar is the thing actually letting water in.
We cover the rest of the south suburbs on the same runs — see the service area.
