Roofing in Kelvyn Park
Kelvyn 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.
Kelvyn Park is two-flats and bungalows in roughly equal measure with flat-roofed mixed-use on Fullerton Avenue.
Kelvyn Park's housing largely went up between 1910 and 1930 — the great Chicago bungalow and two-flat era. We've replaced thousands of original roof systems from this era and know the typical framing quirks (low-slope hip transitions, undersized rafters, original board sheathing) that affect a tear-off.
