Project Overview

Huskie Exteriors completed a residential roof replacement project in Kirkland, Illinois. Architectural asphalt shingles were installed across the home’s large, interconnected roofing system.

The finished roof features a coordinated blend of gray, brown, and neutral tones that complements the home’s gray siding, white trim, gutters, windows, and surrounding landscape.

Roof Replacement in Kirkland, IL

The roofing system includes several connected roof planes extending across the main home and adjoining sections. Architectural shingles were installed in consistent courses throughout the property.

The dimensional shingle pattern gives the roof visual depth while maintaining a unified appearance across the different elevations.

Hip, Ridge, and Valley Details

The home includes multiple hips, ridges, and intersecting valleys. Coordinated ridge cap shingles were installed along the raised rooflines to complete each section.

Detailed work at the valleys helps create clean transitions where adjoining roof planes meet.

Roof Ventilation and Penetrations

Several box vents, turbine vents, and plumbing penetrations are positioned throughout the roof. Installation around these components required accurate shingle cutting and carefully finished flashing.

The ventilation components were incorporated into the completed roofing system while maintaining consistent placement across the roof.

Chimney Flashing

A masonry chimney extends through one of the rear roof sections. Flashing details around the chimney create a defined transition between the masonry surface and surrounding architectural shingles.

Careful finishing was also completed around nearby ridges and adjoining roof planes.

Materials Used

Visible materials include architectural asphalt shingles, ridge cap shingles, box vents, turbine vents, pipe flashing, chimney flashing, valley flashing, and drip edge.

These materials complete the roof while coordinating with the home’s existing gutters, siding, and exterior trim.

Project Challenges

The property’s expansive roof layout, numerous connected sections, multiple valleys, changing roof heights, ventilation components, plumbing penetrations, and masonry chimney created several installation considerations.

Careful measurements and detailed finishing were required to maintain consistent shingle alignment and clean transitions throughout the roofing system.
