Services
Commercial Roof Installation
Our expert team installs durable commercial roofs using materials like EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen. We assess building requirements, climate factors, and energy efficiency goals to create customized solutions. With 50+ years of experience, we ensure watertight installations that comply with Chicago's strict building codes while maximizing longevity and performance.
Roof Maintenance Programs
Customized maintenance plans extend roof lifespans and prevent costly repairs. Services include debris removal, flashing inspections, and gutter cleaning. Our semi-annual maintenance costs 1-3% of replacement costs while doubling roof longevity. Detailed reporting tracks maintenance history and identifies emerging issues before they escalate.
Commercial Roof Inspections
Thorough inspections identify potential problems through interior and exterior analysis. Certified inspectors check for ponding water, membrane damage, and flashing issues. Clients receive comprehensive reports with photos and repair recommendations. Regular inspections help maintain warranty compliance and prevent emergency situations through proactive maintenance.
Green Roof Systems
We design and install sustainable roofing solutions including reflective membranes, garden roofs, and solar panels. These systems reduce energy costs by lowering roof temperatures up to 100F. Our experts ensure compliance with Chicago's 2008 reflective roofing ordinance while improving building insulation and reducing urban heat island effects through vegetation and advanced materials.
Emergency Roof Repair
24/7 emergency services address urgent roof failures through rapid response teams. We handle leak containment, storm damage, and structural threats with temporary and permanent solutions. Our technicians use specialized equipment to secure properties while minimizing business disruption during critical repairs for commercial and industrial facilities.
