About Roofs in Cicero
Cicero is a lake town at the north end of Hamilton County. Waterfront and near-water homes range from modest older cottages that were expanded over decades to substantial custom builds. The older lake houses in particular are often a patchwork of additions, each with its own roof plane and its own tie-in.
Cicero Roof Failures We See
Open-water wind exposure means the windward rake and the ridge take a beating, and blow-offs are more common here than a few miles inland. The additions problem is the other half: a cottage that grew in three stages has multiple roof-to-wall junctions, sometimes at low pitch, and every one of those is a leak candidate. We also see a lot of undersized gutters on lake houses where large roof areas dump into inadequate downspouts.
How we cover Cicero
We cover Cicero, the Morse Reservoir shoreline, Red Bridge and the surrounding north Hamilton County area. On lake homes we pay particular attention to where added-on sections meet the original roof, because that is where the water almost always is.

What to Expect in Cicero
A patchwork lake house needs somebody who will map the whole roof rather than quote a square-foot number off a satellite image. We get on it, photograph every tie-in, and write down exactly what will be done at each one.

Your Cicero Roof Questions, Answered
My Cicero house has been added onto twice. Is that a problem?
It means more roof-to-wall junctions, and each one needs proper flashing. It is very often where the leak is. We map and photograph every tie-in during the inspection.
Do you cover the whole Morse Reservoir area?
Yes, Cicero and the shoreline along with north Hamilton County generally.
Why do lakefront roofs fail faster?
Open exposure. With nothing between the house and the water, wind reaches the rake and ridge at full speed, and those edges are where a roof begins to come apart.
Do you replace gutters too?
Yes. Large roof areas dumping into undersized downspouts is common on lake homes, and it causes problems at the foundation as well as the roofline.
