Autumn is Ideal for Roofing Work

As soon as the leaves start to turn color, your roof will have to work twice as hard to keep you safe and dry. In fact, the leaves themselves can cause all kinds of problems. Combined with rain, leaves can become incredibly heavy while simultaneously clogging downspouts and gutters. They can also fester and breed mold and fungus.

When it comes to choosing a roofer to get your home ready for Winter you want to be sure you are getting the best of the best. But with storm chasers and inexperienced contractors contending for your business, it can be difficult to tell the difference between quality service providers and a scam. Here’s some easy tips to help you choose a trustworthy contractor:

Choose someone local who’s been in business for a length of time, is licensed, insured & bonded. Ask for recommendations from your friends and neighbors. Also check the web – Angie’s List, Yelp and Houzz are some good options. And remember that choosing a roofer based on the lowest price is not always in your best interest.

A new customer in Wheaton contacted us to check on the condition of their old cedar shake roof. After the inspection CRC’s team determined that replacement would be the best way to move forward. After looking at many samples and going over the benefits the customer decided that a synthetic roof would be the best option for them. Our crews installed a Brava Shake Roof in the color Lake Forest Gray. In addition to the roof replacement they added the accessories of oversized aluminum gutters and downspouts, as well as snow guards, copper standing seams and gutter guards. Our team and the homeowner was thrilled with how the house turned out and happy they will no longer need to worry about annual repairs and cleaning! Below see our before and after. Note from the homeowner: “Thanks for helping us pick out a great roofing product and the crew is doing a fantastic job on it!”
