About the area
Naperville sits along the DuPage River in DuPage and Will counties, about 28 miles west of Chicago’s Loop. Naper Settlement credits Joseph Naper with founding the town in 1831.
What we checked
On a full replacement, the old shingles come off first so the crew can check the roof deck for soft or damaged wood before any new materials go down. That check decides whether the new roof starts on a sound base.
What we did
- Removed the old roof.
- Installed CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles in Burnt Sienna across the main roof and garage.
The finished project
Why these materials
CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles. CertainTeed backs Landmark Pro with a lifetime limited, transferable warranty and a UL Class A fire rating. The shingles carry a 15-year, 110 mph wind warranty that can be upgraded to 160 mph, and StreakFighter algae resistance with its own 30-year warranty against the black streaks algae leaves on roofs.
Keeping it in good shape
- Keep branches trimmed back from the roof. The trees behind this home drop leaves and twigs that collect in valleys.
- Clean the gutters each fall after the leaves drop so melting snow and spring rain can drain away from the roof edge.
- Check the roof from the ground after severe storms. The National Weather Service Chicago office issues severe thunderstorm and high wind warnings for DuPage and Will counties, and lifted or missing shingles should be looked at before the next storm.
- Watch for long icicles or ice ridges at the eaves in winter. They can point to attic heat loss and ice dams that push water under the roof edge.
- Never pressure wash shingles. It strips off the protective granules.
