Local Context

Built for Wilmette Roofs

Wilmette is an established North Shore suburb of older Colonials, Tudors, and bungalows near the lake, with roofs that range from aging architectural shingle to slate, tile, and copper on the larger homes. Decades-old flashing and valleys, mature parkway trees, and lakefront weather — ice dams, freeze-thaw, wind-driven rain, and hail — combine to turn small failures into interior leaks. We trace the leak to its source and repair it, matching the existing roof.
