Roof Replacement: 3,200 sq ft Colonial in Elgin, IL

Project Details

This Elgin Colonial had a persistent chimney leak that three previous repair attempts had failed to fix. When it came time for a full roof replacement, we prioritized solving the chimney issue once and for all. Our crew installed step flashing with a full cricket (a small peaked structure behind the chimney that diverts water), continuous ice-and-water barrier around the entire chimney perimeter, and new counter-flashing set into the mortar joints. The leak was eliminated permanently, and the new Estate Gray Owens Corning Duration shingles gave the home a distinguished, classic look.
