24 hours a day. That’s when we’re there for you. 7 days a week. That’s when you know we’re on call. 365 days a year. When you need help, no matter what time of day or night, we’ll be there for you with just one call.

Plus, we’ll never be anything but friendly and efficient while on your property. That’s a promise from us to you.

The “Middle of the Night” Emergency

The fact is, most emergencies seem to have a mind of their own and decide to show themselves at the worst possible moment – usually the middle of the night. This is normal for our crews, so don’t feel bad about needing help at 3:00 A.M. because it’s more common than you might imagine. In cases of inclement weather, there may be a great many people in the same boat you are, and they’ll be calling Chicago Flat Roof Company as well. Why? That’s simple. We’re the finest emergency response team you’ll find in Chicagoland with all of the tools and experience to handle whatever your roof throws at them in a minimum amount of time and with the least amount of intrusion we can manage. Once we’re finished, you can go right back to dreaming of nights when your roof didn’t show its ugly side.

The “Party Starts in an Hour” Emergency

Believe it or not, and this is more proof that emergencies are not very nice, many calls we receive come from people who were all ready to host an event only to find that their roof has sprung a leak. Never fear, this is our area of expertise and we can quickly and efficiently patch the leak with a temporary repair in order to not intrude on your festivities, or we can fix it entirely on the spot and you’ll be good to go for your big night. It really depends upon what our team finds when they get on your roof, so making the call is the most important thing. That number is (312) 667-4440 and our staff is standing by to take your call – no matter when it comes in.

The “Waterfall in My Living Room” Emergency

Unfortunately, sometimes roofing emergencies happen because of serious failures in the structure itself. A collapse or shift in the walls or roofing can create serious problems for the occupants of the structure and could, if the damage is substantial, even represent a significant danger to safety. In situations like this, where serious damage has occurred, it may be necessary to vacate the premises until the problem is inspected fully and all damage is identified. Once the extent of the damage is known, a plan of repair can be formulated and pricing communicated to your insurance company. We, of course, will ensure that the opening created by the breakdown of structural integrity is sealed temporarily to minimize further damage. Don’t worry, our crews will work quickly to ensure your safety and do their best to accommodate your wishes every step of the way.

Emergencies Happen – 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week

It doesn’t matter how big or how small, how early or late, when an emergency happens related to your roofing, there’s just one number you need to know (312) 667-4440. That’s the emergency response line for the Chicago Flat Roof Company and don’t be afraid to use it. Every second you wait could be more damage done and money lost. Our team is ready to help at any time of day or night and our work is guaranteed.

When you own a home, one of the most important assets you have is your roofing system. After all, nothing inside your home would be safe if the roof were not doing the job it was designed and intended for. So, if you want to maintain the inner workings of your structure, and protect its content from damage, then a proactive roof maintenance program is a must. This regular maintenance can extend the life of your rooftop for years and costs far less than repair or replacement.

Yet, roofing can go from utilitarian to unusable in less time than you’d believe. That’s why you need to call a licensed, insured, and bonded professional – like Chicago Flat Roof Company – at the very first sign of trouble. Our professional technicians excel at repairing all types of residential roofing, and will ensure that your repair work is handled as if it were their own home. Using an experienced repair service just makes sense; both from a financial and a liability standpoint.

Chicago Flat Roof Company is proud of its ability to expertly diagnose the issue and efficiently work to resolve it. For more than 15 years, it’s what we’ve done for each and every commercial client we come in contact with. They have a roof in need of repair and we deliver the finest work at the most competitive prices. Our long history of satisfied customers and exemplary roofing make us the responsible choice in Chicago, its suburbs, and all of Northwest Indiana. We offer all kinds of repairs including:

Storm Damage Repair

​In the Midwest, especially in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, the weather can be more than just unpredictable – it can be downright violent. As tough as it can be for people, imagine what your roof goes through during one of our Chicago storms. The fluctuations in temperature, the enormous amount of precipitation, and the ferocious winds can all combine to put your roof through the ringer, and it can happen day after day after day. This takes a serious toll on the materials and the structural integrity of your roof itself.

The best way to combat the damages suffered during the storms that occasionally strike is by partnering with Chicago Flat Roof Company on regular roof maintenance. This ensures your roof is ready to meet the challenges a storm brings. But, when one strikes and damage has taken place, we offer the best repair service in all of the area – even 24/7 emergency response. Whatever the damage, it’s important to fix it fast before moisture gets in and starts to degrade everything it touches. You’ll be thankful you made the call to Chicago Flat Roof Company when you did.

Mold & Mold Damage

As described briefly above, water is the enemy of your roofing. It’s insidious and can lead to more than just structural damages. Moisture, when unnoticed and unchecked, gives mold the perfect conditions to take hold and grow. And, while many of these mold spores are relatively harmless to humans, they can seriously deteriorate the surfaces they grow on. Even worse, if you are unlucky enough to have a harmful mold growth, it could cause severe respiratory problems in the people and pets living or working in the property.

Roof Pests

Living in the urban sprawl of Chicago, or many of the suburbs surrounding it, you may never think of pests being a serious threat to your roof. In fact, you may never see anything other than the occasional squirrel around your house, but just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Whether its insects or small rodents, or even larger mammals like raccoons, Chicago Flat Roof Company can help you restore your roof to the condition it was in before your unwanted guests moved in. Pests can do a lot of damage in an incredibly short time – we’ve seen it. So, if you see anything that raises alarms, even if it’s just a few squirrels, call the experts you can trust – call Chicago Flat Roof Company.

Of all the projects a homeowner can undertake, new roof construction can be the most daunting. For one thing, it represents construction taking place on your existing structure, and, more than likely, it’s in use on a daily basis. This presents serious logistical and safety issues that have to be addressed during the initial planning phases. Any time you’re dealing with load-bearing structures and engineered systems, it’s best to work with only the most-qualified professionals you can find – like those at Chicago Flat Roof Company.

With so many choices in materials available, Chicago Flat Roof Company recommends a thorough inspection of the structure prior to the application of any new roofing. It’s important to uncover any structural defects, or weakened interior reinforcement, while there’s still time, and plan for their repair during the construction phase. Taking the time to do the job right today could save you some very serious headaches later, and potentially uncover issues you’d have never known of until something unfortunate occurred. No homeowner wants that and neither do we.

Residential Roofing Styles

As you make your way around Chicago, its suburbs, and Northwest Indiana, you’ll see just about every possible roofing style imaginable. With the history and architecture the city is famous for, that should come as no surprise, but, believe it or not, there are some tried and true guidelines to follow if you want to match your property with the perfect roofing material and style.

Chicago Flat Roof Company specializes in new roof construction for residential clients all across the Greater Chicago area. Our experience and our resources allow us to tackle any job you might have, and, with a track record spanning more than 15 years, you can be sure we deliver results that last. Our specialties include:

Pitched Roofs: The traditional residential roofing style, you see pitched roofs in every suburban residential area all over the country, and for good reason. They’re much more visually appealing, even striking if planned accordingly, and can add the perfect finishing touch to any home. These roofs most commonly use shingles, but can be built out of a wide range of materials. Ask your Chicago Flat Roof Company which options would be best for your property.

Flat Roofs: Most often seen in commercial roofing, flat roofs are less costly to install and more energy efficient than pitched roofs. This is due to a flat roof consisting of less material, as it covers less area, and no voids in its construction which means far less insulation required to maintain internal temperature. Flat roofs are also excellent for commercial and industrial purposes because of their innate ability to bear heavy loads. HVAC systems and other ground-based equipment can be safely placed on flat roofing if the construction methods were adequate. Flat roofs also stand up to heavy snowfalls much better than their pitched counterparts.

Residential Roofing Materials

When the time comes for new roof construction you’ll have to make a final decision on more than just what style of new roof you’d like – you’ll have to choose the materials. This is where the real details are, and paying close attention to them during the planning phase can save a lot of time, money, and frustration later on. This is also where you’ll get to show your creative side since decorative elements and color choices will be predicated on the type of material you decide to go with.

Most pitched residential roofs use asphalt shingles as their primary roofing material. Shingles are an excellent choice for many reasons, not the least of which is color. Shingles today come in a wide variety of color choices and all have an excellent track record of low-cost installation and maintenance. Chicago Flat Roof Company uses only the highest-quality shingles in every job we do, and all our products are backed by meaningful manufacturer warranties.

Metal roofing is another great option for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It lends itself to incredible ornamentation and can be beautiful when installed correctly. Metal roofs also stand up far better to the elements than their asphalt cousins and come in just as many styles and colors. They can be more expensive, but their benefits can be seen as greater than their increased cost. They’re made from recycled materials and are themselves completely recyclable. Metal roofing is still not nearly as popular among homeowners due to its industrial-style appearance, but, with advances in fabrication and selection, it’s becoming increasingly popular year-by-year.

When you need siding for your home, if you’re like most people, your thoughts don’t immediately jump to roofing contractors for service and, frankly, that’s unfortunate because Chicago Flat Roof Company is the premier siding contractor in all of Chicagoland. No matter where you are in the Chicago Metro Area, our experienced, professional siding team will come to your property and answer all of your questions about materials, costs, and timetables. We’ll give you recommendations based on what we find and always stand behind our work 100%. If you’re unsure about your next steps, or even what product or material to use – vinyl, cement, wood, aluminum, and on and on – then call us before you make any decision. We’ll make sure it’s an educated one.

The Premier Chicago Siding Contractor

Siding does far more than beautify your home. It protects the interior from the ravages of Chicago weather and ensures your energy bills stay within reason thanks to its insulation value. Yes, siding is a great option – no matter the type you choose. The options for color and style are endless, giving homeowners a limitless range of choices and that’s before the materials are even discussed. From vinyl to wood, the selections available, and their tremendous durability and curb appeal, will add years to your home’s lifetime and keep you worry-free for the duration.

Siding Types – Wood Siding

If you currently own, or are thinking of purchasing, a home with wood siding, you’re probably a fan of older structures with some real character and history. That’s where you find the most wood siding in use – traditional architecture. It takes quite a bit more maintenance and care to keep wood siding in working order, so it’s usually replaced with a vinyl or aluminum siding during the structure’s lifetime making original wood a rarity in Chicago. Chicago Flat Roof Company offers a wide selection of wood siding in a range of styles, textures, and finishes. While it’s a beautiful way to enclose a home, there are some very serious dangers that have to be avoided to maintain the aesthetic and functional value of the wood – including insects, moisture, rot, and warping. Without regular staining, replacement of trouble boards, and constant monitoring, your wood siding – be they planks or clapboards – won’t stay healthy for very long. Partnering with professionals, like the ones at Chicago Flat Roof Company, can help extend that lifetime for years with regular maintenance, so make the call to work with the area’s best wood siding contractor.

Siding Types – Aluminum Siding

Aluminum siding has become more and more popular over the years due to its incredible durability and low maintenance costs. Aluminum siding is applied to your home in strips with both the top and bottom sealed to prevent moisture entry. It comes in every imaginable color and can be installed both horizontally and vertically. With aluminum siding, there’s no need to paint and it’s relatively inexpensive for traditional aluminum. The modern vinyl-coated siding cuts the noise and denting down to a minimum, but costs a bit more to purchase and install. Chicago Flat Roof Company’s knowledgeable staff is happy to discuss the benefits of modern aluminum siding with you, so give us a call today at (312) 667-4440 to learn more about it.

Siding Types – Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding was introduced after aluminum and aimed to solve some of the issues found with the older materials. In many ways, vinyl is the best solution available for encasing the outside of your home. It’s relatively inexpensive, it seals well against moisture, and it doesn’t need to be painted. Easily America’s most-used siding material, vinyl siding can be found in all states and all climates. Its one weakness is cold impacts. As with many modern materials, extreme cold can cause it to become brittle and crack when struck. When damage is done, the only real remedy is new siding to cover the spot. That’s another reason vinyl is the material of choice – cheap replacement. So, if you’re in the market for vinyl siding, call the premier vinyl siding contractor in all of Illinois – Chicago Flat Roof Company.

Siding Types – Cement Siding

It may sound strange and be difficult to envision, but cement siding is the new “green” siding alternative and it’s sweeping the nation. Made from recycled materials, cement siding is incredibly durable and can be molded to take on the texture and appearance of nearly any material you can imagine – including wood. It also lends itself to unique design elements to be included since it can be molded in almost any shape. Cement siding won’t ever rot, be damaged by insects, or suffer from moisture of any kind. It’s easy to install and nearly indestructible – which is awesome – but that durability and lifespan comes with a cost. Cement siding can be the most expensive option available, yet homeowners have to take the long view and realize it’s probably cheaper over the lifetime of your structure. Call us today to speak with a cement siding specialist and learn all the ways it can make your home a better place to live.
