Challenge The homeowner had inquired about the issue they were having with improper drainage in one particuliar section of their home structure.  They had viewed a few other neighbors homes with similiar elevations and noticed they were the only one with a "pocket" of space on their home.

Challenge Prices are rising in the roofing industry as some materials, and as certain materials are becoming harder to get a hold of, jobs are having to wait longer to start. This homeowner had a 15-year-old roof, and he thought it was time for a new one.

Challenge With big leaks, often our first reaction is to blame the roof. After all, rain comes right down onto the house right? Yes and no. Solution This house in Homer Glen had vertical wood sheet siding. The bottom of one section of the siding buckled out.

Challenge This project had the obstacle of removing damaged sheathing from under the shingles. Having good solid roof sheathing is important. It helps to bear the weight not only of the shingles, but the snow and ice. Sheathing helps redristubute weight more evenly.

Challenge The winter is always an issue to face for the roofing industry. The weather drops, snow covers the roof. Solution Our company will still work year-round, even in the middle of winter.

We are proud to work with Malarkey Roofing Products! With their high-performing, impact-resistant, and sustainable shingles, our customers are able to give back to the environment they live in!

Three of our Project Consultants attended a training event for Malarkey Roofing products in Schaumburg this week. Malarkey Roofing Products are new to the Stan's Roofing and Siding team. Their products are virtually indestructable. Their shingles are made from recycled material.

Types of Skylights The three basic types of skylights are tube skylights, ventilating skylights and box skylights. Tube skylights are often used in rooms where there is not direct access to the roof.

If it is time to replace your shingles, you may be astounded by the sheer number of choices available. In recent years, roofing product manufacturers have recognized homeowners’ desire to create unique looks for the homes and have started producing more color variations than ever.
