From Inspection to Protection: How Holda Construction Restored a 17-Year-Old Roof in Hawthorn Woods

Defining the Problem

Our customer, Rob, in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois contacted us after speaking with his neighbor, for whom we were already completing a fascia replacement project due to recent storm damage.

Rob’s asphalt shingle roof was 17 years old and nearing the end of its life expectancy. Although it did not yet qualify for a full replacement, it was exhibiting several concerning issues:

Missing shingles from wind damage
Lifted shingles compromising water protection
Deteriorated rubber flashing around PVC pipes, which could soon lead to leaks

Prompt action was necessary to avoid escalating problems like water infiltration, further structural damage, and costly repairs down the road.

Our Solutions and Execution

To address the homeowner’s roofing needs swiftly and thoroughly, Holda Construction developed and executed a strategic plan:

Same-Day Drone Inspection: We responded within hours of the initial call, performing a detailed drone-assisted inspection. This allowed for a fast and precise evaluation of the roof’s condition.
Comprehensive Shingle Repair: We replaced all missing and compromised shingles with GAF Timberline HDZ Pewter Gray, carefully matched to the existing roof color for a seamless appearance.
Flashings and Sealant Work: We sealed all critical flashing points, including around the chimney and deteriorated PVC pipe flashings, safeguarding against future water penetration.
Row-by-Row Reinforcement: Our team secured all rows of shingles, ensuring tight adherence and sealing any exposed or popping nails to prevent uplift during future storms.
Prompt Project Execution: Repairs were scheduled for Monday, starting promptly at 7:45 AM and fully completed by 11:45 AM, demonstrating our commitment to efficiency without sacrificing quality.
Premium Materials and Skilled Labor: By utilizing high-quality products and paying meticulous attention to installation details, we delivered a durable repair solution that enhances the longevity of the homeowner’s roof.

Our pricing, though not the cheapest option, reflects the true value of what we deliver: rapid response, precise workmanship, long-term peace of mind, and transparent communication every step of the way.
