High Roofing Standards For Chicagoland Homeowners
We REFUSE To Install Your Roof “By The Book…” Instead, We Follow Every Building Code… Then Go WAY Beyond ItIn the roofing world, most companies aim for a “C” grade. They want to do just enough work to pass a basic city inspection so they can get paid and move on to the next house. At Alltek Roofing, we don’t think “just enough” is a high enough standard for your family’s home.
We follow a much tougher set of standards.
It’s called our “Code Plus” standard. It means we look at what the local laws require and then we go even further. We don’t do this because the city makes us. We do it because we know how brutal the weather in Chicagoland can be.
From the shingles to the attic to the flashing, we over-build every detail to make sure your home stays bone-dry through every Chicago storm.
Our “Above And Beyond” Roofing Standards
Doing the job “by the book” is fine for some. But at Alltek Roofing, we wrote our own “standards” book. Here are the four major ways we go beyond the local code to build a better roof.
Double The Ice Protection
Local building codes often only require three feet of ice and water shield. In a heavy Illinois winter, that is simply not enough. We install a full six feet of waterproof barrier on every eave. This extra layer stops melting snow from backing up under your shingles and causing thousands of dollars in water damage.
The Ventilation Calculations
Most roofers just swap out your old vents for new ones without thinking twice. We actually do the math. During our 60-minute diagnostic, we calculate the exact amount of airflow your attic needs. By installing the right amount of intake and exhaust, we prevent the wood rot and mold that shorten a roof’s life.
The Extra Magnet Sweep
The job isn’t done just because the shingles are on. We will visit every job site within 48 hours of completion to perform a final quality check. This includes a high-powered magnet sweep of your entire yard. We do our best to clean your property so your kids and pets stay safe.
The Signature Finish
We believe a roof should look as good as it works. While the code doesn’t require “pretty” details, we color-match our metal drip edges to your shingles or fascia. We even go the extra mile by painting your lead pipes and flashings to blend in. We leave your roof looking like a seamless system.
The Alltek Accountability Standard
At a big roofing company, you are just a number on a spreadsheet. At Alltek Roofing, our reputation is built into every project. We personally oversee the quality of every roof and hold our crews to our strict standards.
