Chicago roofing residential and commercial services we are able to provide:

A leaky roof can damage ceilings, walls, and furnishings. Our roofing experts repair and install roofs made of tar or asphalt and gravel; rubber or thermoplastic; metal; or shingles to protect buildings and their contents from water damage. Repair and re roofing replacing old roofs on existing buildings, our Chicago Roofing roofers can do it all.

There are two types of roofing—low-slope and steep-slope. Low-slope roofing rise 4 inches per horizontal foot or less and are installed in layers. Steep-slope roofing rise more than 4 inches per horizontal foot and are usually covered in shingles. Most commercial, industrial, and apartment buildings have low-slope roofs. Most houses have steep-slope roofs. Our roofing experts work on both types.

Most low-slope roofs are covered with several layers of materials. Our roofing experts first put a layer of insulation on the roof deck. Over the insulation, then often spread a coat of molten bitumen, a tarlike substance. Next, we install partially overlapping layers of roofing felt—a fabric saturated in bitumen—over the surface. Our Roofing techs use a mop to spread hot bitumen over the felt before adding another layer of felt. This seals the seams and makes the surface watertight. Our roofers repeat these steps to build up the desired number of layers, called “plies.” The top layer is glazed to make a smooth finish or has gravel embedded in the hot bitumen to create a rough surface.

An increasing number of low-slope roofs are covered with a single-ply membrane of waterproof rubber or thermoplastic compounds. Our roofers roll these sheets over the roof’s insulation and seal the seams. Adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or stone ballast hold the sheets in place. We make sure the building is strong enough to hold the stone ballast.

A small but growing number of buildings now have “green” roofs that incorporate plants. A “green” roofing job begins with a single or multi-ply waterproof layer. After it is proven to be leak free, roofers put a root barrier over it, and then layers of soil, in which trees and grass are planted. Our Roofers are responsible for making sure the roof is watertight and can withstand the weight and water needs of the plants.

Our Chicago Roofing experts also install equipment that requires cutting through roofs, such as ventilation ducts and attic fans. Our roofing techs are experts in waterproofing and damp proof masonry and concrete walls, floors, and foundations. To prepare surfaces for waterproofing, we hammer and chisel away rough spots or remove them with a rubbing brick, before applying a coat of liquid waterproofing compound. We also may paint or spray surfaces with a waterproofing material or attach waterproofing membrane to surfaces. We usually spray a bitumen-based coating on interior or exterior surfaces when damp proofing.
