What We Install

Commercial Roof Systems We Work With

We install, repair, and maintain the full range of flat and low-slope commercial systems — and we weld seams and fabricate the metal details in-house rather than subcontracting the critical work.

What We Do

What We Do for Commercial Properties

New Roofs & Full Replacement

Complete commercial roof installation and full tear-off replacement, specified to your building and how long you plan to hold it.

Repair & Leak Detection

Targeted commercial roof repair and leak tracing — we find the real source and fix it, including the flashing and seam work most crews skip.

Scheduled inspections and preventive maintenance that catch open seams, clogged drains, and failing flashing before they become shutdowns.

Storm & Insurance Work

Storm and hail damage repair with full photo documentation and the written estimate your insurer needs — based on the actual damage.

Emergency Response

Fast emergency response and temporary weatherproofing to stop active water intrusion and protect your building and tenants.

Local Context

Commercial Roofing Built for Northbrook Properties

Northbrook carries one of the area’s stronger commercial bases — the retail anchored around Northbrook Court, a sizable cluster of corporate offices and headquarters, and industrial and flex buildings along the rail and highway corridors. Almost all of it sits on flat and low-slope roofs, where the seams, drains, and flashing are the first things to fail. North and Northwest Cook weather drives them hard: heavy snow load, freeze-thaw, ponding after storms, and hail. When a membrane fails over leased space, the cost lands fast in downtime and damage. We keep Northbrook’s commercial roofs watertight — repair, restore, or replace, and maintain them.

FAQ

Common Questions

What commercial roof systems do you install in Northbrook?

We install and service TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and metal systems. We’ll recommend the right system for your building, budget, and how long you plan to hold the property — and fabricate the metal details in-house.

Can you repair or restore our roof instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. If the membrane still has life, a targeted repair or restoration coating can extend it for years at a fraction of replacement cost. We’ll tell you honestly which is the better value — no tear-off you don’t need.

We manage a corporate office or headquarters building — can you work around staff and operations?

Yes. We schedule around your business hours, building access, and parking, keep the site clean and safe, and coordinate the work so your operations and staff aren’t disrupted.

Do you handle storm and hail damage with insurance documentation?

Yes. We inspect, document all damage with photos, and provide the detailed written estimate your insurer needs — working off the actual damage, not a sales pitch.

Do you offer maintenance programs?

Yes. Scheduled inspections catch open seams, clogged drains, and failing flashing before they become leaks and shutdowns, and help protect your manufacturer warranty.
