Rooftop renovation
New roof brings the Downers Grove fixer-upper one step closer to a dream home.
When Kevin bought a fixer-upper house in Downers Grove last spring, he knew he had a lot of work ahead of him. “The house was in poor condition. I knew I would be dumping a ton of money into redoing floors, counters, appliances, this and that,” he shared. Among the various upgrades, one pressing concern was the deteriorating roof.
Although it had a few years left, Kevin couldn’t overlook the need for a replacement. “At one point, I thought I may be able to get away with making it through the winter,” but the roof’s condition worsened as time passed.
