Wonder Lake's Local Exterior Contractor
Wonder Lake is just minutes from our McHenry office, and we have completed roof replacements here, including Owens Corning Duration shingle installs. Our team offers free, no-obligation inspections and honest recommendations, and we never push you to sign before you know what your insurance covers.
Many Wonder Lake neighborhoods grew up around the lake decades ago. Wooded Shores has homes dating back to the 1930s, and Highland Shores started building in the 1950s, so many homes here are older cottages and ranches that have been expanded over the years. Those additions often mean mixed rooflines, extra layers of shingles, and valleys where water collects.
Common Roofing Problems Around Wonder Lake
Mature trees drop leaves and branches on roofs and gutters every fall. Clogged gutters push water back under the shingles and into the soffit, which leads to rot. Shaded roofs stay damp longer and can grow moss and algae, and in winter, ice dams build up along the eaves of older homes with limited attic insulation.
We inspect for all of these issues, and every project comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty. We also serve nearby McHenry, Johnsburg, and Woodstock.

Wonder Lake Roofing FAQs
How do I know if my Wonder Lake roof needs replacing?
Common signs are curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, water stains on ceilings, and a roof that is 20 years old or more. A free inspection will tell you whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
Why do I get ice dams every winter?
Heat escaping through the attic melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves. Better attic ventilation and insulation, plus ice and water shield at the eaves during a roof replacement, is the long-term fix.
Do you work on older homes with additions and multiple rooflines?
Yes. Many Wonder Lake homes have been expanded over the years, and we are experienced with mixed rooflines, valleys, and tie-ins between old and new sections of the roof.
Do you offer emergency service in Wonder Lake?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service for storm damage, fallen limbs, and active leaks, so your home stays protected until permanent repairs are made.

Yes. Gen Ex Construction is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with an A+ BBB rating and Google Guaranteed status.
