Don't Replace It Yet: Expert Roofing & Siding Repair to Protect Your Chicagoland Home

I. The Repair vs. Replacement Question

For homeowners in Park Ridge, Glenview, and the Northwest Suburbs, the harsh reality is that time and weather always take their toll. High winds, heavy hail, and constant freeze-thaw cycles compromise your home's exterior integrity.

When you spot a missing shingle or a cracked siding panel, your first thought shouldn't be panic—it should be repair. At Northwind Exteriors, we believe in honest assessments. Our goal is to extend the life of your exterior with precise, high-quality repairs whenever possible, saving a full replacement for when it is truly necessary.

II. Roofing Repairs: Stopping Leaks Before They Start

A minor roof issue can quickly become major interior water damage. Our certified team is equipped to diagnose the source of the leak, not just patch the symptom.

Common Roofing Repairs We Handle:

• Missing or Damaged Shingles: Whether due to wind lift or hail impact, we replace damaged sections using premium Malarkey or comparable shingles, ensuring a seamless, watertight match.

• Flashing Failures: Flashing—the metal protection around chimneys, vents, and valleys—is a prime source of leaks. We repair or replace cracked, buckled, or deteriorated flashing to restore the seal.

• Ice Dam Damage: The freeze/thaw cycle can pull gutters away and force water under shingles. We repair the resulting damage and often recommend solutions to improve attic ventilation to prevent future ice dams.

• Emergency Storm Repair: Following a major storm, we offer prompt service to stabilize your roof, prevent further water intrusion, and prepare you for the insurance claim process.

III. Siding Repairs: Maintaining Seamless Curb Appeal

Damaged siding isn't just an eyesore; it's an open invitation for moisture, mold, and pests to compromise your home's structure. Our repair process focuses on precision to ensure the repaired section perfectly blends with your existing exterior.

Specialized Siding Repair Services:

• James Hardie Fiber Cement Repair: As an Alliance Elite Contractor, we have the specialized training and equipment to safely cut and replace individual Hardie boards or trim pieces, ensuring proper clearance and sealing to maintain the product's integrity and warranty.

• Localized Damage Replacement: We replace sections of composite, vinyl, or wood siding that have warped, cracked, or sustained localized impact damage. We focus on sourcing materials that match your home's existing color and texture.

Moisture and Rot Remediation: If you have soft or warped boards, we carefully remove the damaged section, address any underlying moisture issues in the wall cavity, and install new siding and weather barriers to prevent recurrence.
