Roof Replacement & Chimney Flashing Project in Des Plaines, Illinois

Learn more about our recent Roofing & Flashing installation that took place in Des Plaines.

One of the many things we pride ourselves with at Dickson Contractors, is that most of our business is from referrals. That was this case with this particular project. One of our longstanding customers referred us when they noticed that this homeowner's roof was damaged by recent storm activity and heavy winds.

Our team was able to provide a comprehensive roof inspection and determined that a roof replacement was the best course of action. We also worked with the homeowners on how we could provide them with better roof ventilation and help prevent future water damage concerns with new PacClad Chimney flashing.

Once the scope of work was approved our skilled team got right to work. We installed a new GAF Timberline UHDZ #4 impact shingle in the color Barkwood. This premium laminate shingle not only creates dramatic sunset shadows all day long, it also provides high-performance technology at its core and achieves the UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistance rating. This new roof will provide superior protection and comes with a 30 year stainguard limited warranty.
