Storm Damage Roof Replacement in McHenry, IL

After a recent storm, a homeowner in McHenry, IL contacted HARRIS ROOFING, SIDING, WINDOWS & DOORS to inspect their roof for possible wind damage. Our inspection revealed several problems with the home’s existing 3-tab shingles, including missing tabs and shingles that had lost their seal.

With portions of the roof lifting and flapping during high winds, the home was increasingly vulnerable to water intrusion and additional storm damage. After reviewing our inspection findings and written estimate, the homeowner selected Harris Exteriors to complete a full roof replacement.

Wind Damage Found on Multiple Areas of the Roof

Storm damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. During our inspection, we found missing shingle tabs on three sides of the roof.

We also discovered multiple areas where the existing shingles had lost their seal. Once shingles are no longer properly sealed, wind can lift them repeatedly, increasing the potential for additional damage or allowing wind-driven rain to reach areas beneath the roofing system.

Based on the roof’s overall condition, the homeowner decided a complete replacement was the right long-term solution.

Owens Corning Duration Roofing System

For the new roof, Harris installed an Owens Corning Duration® roofing system.

Owens Corning Duration shingles feature SureNail® Technology, which provides a reinforced fastening area designed to help deliver excellent holding power and wind performance. When installed as part of a qualifying roofing system according to Owens Corning requirements, Duration shingles offer wind warranty protection up to 130 MPH.

For a homeowner replacing a roof following wind damage, upgrading from older 3-tab shingles to a modern architectural roofing system provides an important combination of performance and curb appeal.

Better Protection Against Future Storms

The new roof completely changes the home’s appearance, but the most important improvement is the protection beneath that new look.

Replacing the damaged 3-tab roof with an Owens Corning Duration roofing system gives the homeowner greater confidence when severe weather and high winds return to Northern Illinois.

The completed project provides:

• Complete Roof Replacement
• Owens Corning Duration® Architectural Shingles
• SureNail® Technology
• Wind Warranty Protection Up to 130 MPH
• Improved Storm Protection
• Updated Curb Appeal

The finished roof looks fantastic and, more importantly, gives the homeowner peace of mind knowing the home is better prepared for future storms.

Don’t Ignore Possible Wind Damage

If your neighborhood has recently experienced high winds or severe weather, roof damage may not be immediately visible. Missing shingles are an obvious warning sign, but loose, lifted, or unsealed shingles can be more difficult to spot without a closer inspection.

Identifying damage early helps homeowners address vulnerable areas before they lead to leaks and more expensive repairs.
