Commercial Roofing Services in Chicago, IL
Flat Roof Installation
Our
commercial flat roof installation systems are designed for Chicago’s constant temperature shifts above and below freezing, which cause roofing materials to expand and contract over and over. We install tapered insulation for reliable drainage during snowmelt, use cold-weather-flexible membranes to prevent seam separation, and secure critical areas with fully adhered assemblies to reduce the risk of leaks, ice backup, and wind damage.
Flat Roof Replacement
We replace failing systems with TPO, EPDM, PVC, or modified bitumen roofs selected for their ability to handle structural snow loads and continuous thermal movement. Every commercial flat roof replacement includes upgraded insulation, drainage improvements for frozen or blocked drains, and high-movement flashings that remain watertight despite Chicago’s wide seasonal temperature range.
Flat Roof Repair
We focus on the most common Chicago failure points: seams that open due to repeated expansion and contraction, cracked penetrations, loose edge details from high winds, and ponding water caused by snow and ice. We identify the moisture source, repair it with compatible materials, and reinforce vulnerable areas to restore long-term performance.
Commercial Roof Coating
Our commercial roof coating systems form a seamless, reflective barrier that protects the membrane from summer heat, winter moisture intrusion, and rapid temperature changes. Each system meets the performance and energy guidelines of the Cool Roof Rating Council, ASTM International, UL Solutions, EPA ENERGY STAR, and LEED, helping lower cooling demand, slow membrane aging, and maintain flexibility during extended cold periods.
Commercial Roof Restoration
Roof restoration extends the life of your existing system using silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane coatings that seal small openings, tolerate standing water from snowmelt, and reflect solar heat. This process prevents recurring leaks caused by refreezing moisture and improves thermal performance without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.
Commercial Metal Roofing
Our commercial metal roofing systems feature standing seam panels with concealed fasteners that allow controlled movement across long roof runs as temperatures rise and fall. These systems are engineered for snow shedding, perimeter wind resistance, and long-term durability, making them ideal for Chicago’s severe winter storms and hot summer roof temperatures.
Commercial PVC Roofing
Our commercial PVC roofing assemblies meet ASTM D4434 standards and use KEE-reinforced membranes with heat-welded seams for consistent watertight protection. They remain flexible in very low temperatures, resist ponding water from frozen drainage systems, and reflect solar heat to reduce cooling loads in summer.
Commercial Spray Foam Roofing
Closed-cell SPF creates a seamless, fully adhered surface that conforms to the substrate and eliminates gaps where heat loss and condensation occur during long winters. Protected by an elastomeric coating, the system provides continuous insulation, resists temporary ponding, and maintains waterproofing even as the roof structure moves with temperature changes.
Commercial Asphalt Roofing
Our torch-applied SBS modified bitumen systems are formulated for cold-weather performance, allowing the membrane to flex without cracking when temperatures drop. The multi-ply design provides redundant waterproofing, resists damage from snow and ice, and performs reliably under heavy rooftop traffic.
24/7 Emergency Roof Leak Repair
Our
24/7 emergency roof leak repair service stops water intrusion fast to protect your interior, equipment, and operations—no matter the weather or time of day. We locate the source of the leak, perform immediate containment using a
temporary roof tarp, and apply durable, compatible repairs that hold through Chicago’s freezing temperatures, wind-driven rain, and rapid temperature changes until permanent work can be completed.
Temporary Roof Dry-In
We secure your building after storm damage or during situations with active leaks, preventing further moisture entry while you plan the full repair or replacement. We install reinforced waterproof coverings, seal exposed areas, and stabilize vulnerable details so your property stays protected from snow, rain, and refreezing conditions common in Chicago’s unpredictable climate.

What Types of Commercial Roof Damage
Do We Repair?
Storm Damage
This happens when high winds, wind-driven rain, hail, and flying debris puncture membranes, displace flashing, and force water into vulnerable transitions and seams. As a leading commercial roofing contractor, we perform rapid condition assessments, install immediate watertight protection, replace compromised components, and rebuild the system with wind-rated assemblies to restore full weather resistance and prevent recurring leaks.
Wind Damage
Wind damage is caused by repeated uplift pressure at roof edges and corners, leading to membrane billowing, fastener failure, loose coping, and open seams. We correct these failures by re-securing the roofing system to meet uplift requirements, reinforcing perimeter and high-stress zones, and sealing all exposed areas to stop progressive system breakdown.
Dry Rot
Dry rot develops when long-term trapped moisture deteriorates wood nailers, blocking, or sections of the roof deck, weakening the attachment point for the entire roofing assembly. Our team removes all decayed materials, treats and rebuilds the substrate, and installs new compatible roofing components to restore structural strength and long-term waterproofing performance.
UV Roof Damage
UV roof damage is caused by continuous sun exposure that dries out membranes, leading to surface cracking, shrinkage, seam stress, and loss of flexibility. We repair affected areas and install UV-resistant materials or reflective coating systems that protect the roof from further degradation while improving energy efficiency.
Ponding Water
Ponding water forms when drains are blocked, insulation compresses, or the roof lacks proper slope, leaving standing water that accelerates membrane deterioration and seam failure. We redesign the drainage pathway, build up low areas with tapered insulation, and reinforce the membrane so water flows off the roof quickly and the system remains warranty-compliant.
Roof Leak
Roof leaks are most commonly caused by failed flashings, punctures, open seams, deteriorated sealants, or water backing up at penetrations and rooftop equipment. We trace the true entry point using professional diagnostics, perform manufacturer-approved repairs, and restore a continuous watertight barrier that protects your building and operations.

Before & After Roofing Transformations
Before Roof Coating
This 20-year-old roof of a drygoods warehouse facility in Burbank, IL showed advanced membrane aging, open seams, and chronic ponding water that led to active leaks and rising energy costs. Moisture intrusion and UV degradation had begun to compromise the system, putting the building at risk for interior damage and premature replacement.
After Roof Coating
We restored the roof with a high-performance silicone coating system that sealed all penetrations, reinforced vulnerable areas, and created a seamless, fully waterproof surface. The result is a reflective, energy-efficient roof with extended service life, eliminated leaks, and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
Before Roof Leak Repair & Waterproofing
This roof in Westchester had multiple active leaks caused by deteriorated flashing, failed sealant at penetrations, and long-term ponding around rooftop units. Ongoing moisture intrusion had begun to damage interior ceilings and insulation, increasing the risk of mold, energy loss, and operational disruption.
After Roof Leak Repair & Waterproofing
We performed targeted leak repairs and installed a reinforced waterproofing system at all critical details, creating a fully sealed, watertight assembly. The building is now protected from future infiltration, with improved drainage performance, stabilized interior conditions, and a roof system built for long-term reliability.

Commercial Flat Roofing FAQs
How much does a commercial flat roof installation or replacement cost in Chicago?
Commercial flat roof costs typically range from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on materials like TPO, EPDM, PVC, or modified bitumen. Additional factors include roof size, slope, tear-off needs, and local labor rates.
How long can I expect my commercial flat roof to last?
Most commercial flat roofs last 15–30 years, with TPO, PVC, and EPDM averaging 20–25 years when properly installed and maintained. Coatings and regular inspections can extend lifespan and prevent early deterioration.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or a full replacement?
Repair is usually sufficient for localized leaks, seam failures, or minor storm damage, while widespread membrane deterioration, structural issues, or frequent leaks indicate a full replacement. A professional inspection can determine the most cost-effective solution.
Will my insurance cover storm damage or roof leaks?
Insurance typically covers sudden, accidental damage like hail, wind, or fire, but not wear-and-tear or maintenance neglect. Documenting damage promptly and working with a certified contractor improves claim approval chances.
What are the most common storm-related damages to commercial flat roofs?
Storms often cause membrane punctures, seam separations, ponding water issues, blown-off flashing, and gutter or scupper damage. Ice, hail, and high winds can accelerate deterioration and lead to leaks.
