Roofing in Irving Park
Irving Park has a mixed housing stock — pitched-roof single-family homes sit alongside flat-roof two-flats and small multi-family buildings. Our crews routinely tackle both on the same block, switching between shingle systems and single-ply membrane in the same workweek.
Irving Park retains pockets of stunning Victorian-era single-family homes — Queen Annes, Italianates, four-squares — alongside denser two-flat blocks. Roof systems vary by era, from slate on Victorians to modified bitumen on flats.
Much of Irving Park's housing dates to before 1920, which means original framing geometries, masonry parapets, and detailing traditions that modern code books don't fully cover. We know how to work on those buildings without compromising what makes them historic.
Local landmarks nearby: Old Irving Park historic district, Independence Park. We often work on properties within walking distance of these locations.
