Roofing in Rogers Park
Rogers Park's housing stock is dominated by flat-roofed properties — two-flats, three-flats, courtyard buildings, and mixed-use storefronts. That means our work here is largely single-ply (EPDM, TPO) and modified bitumen membrane systems, plus the brick-parapet flashing detail work that defines Chicago multi-family roofing.
Rogers Park is dense — courtyard apartment buildings (the densest concentration in Chicago), two- and three-flats, plus lakefront high-rises. Almost all flat-roofed, with intense lakefront wind and storm exposure.
Much of Rogers 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.
