Roofing in Streeterville
Streeterville'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.
Streeterville is high-rises — residential, hotel, and office — packed tight along the lakefront. Flat roofs with intense lakefront wind exposure and complex mechanical penthouses.
Streeterville is predominantly modern construction — flat-roof condos, high-rises, and amenity-deck buildings. Our work here is heavy on TPO and PVC single-ply systems, mechanical curb flashing, and roof-deck waterproofing.
Local landmarks nearby: Navy Pier, John Hancock Center, Lurie Children's. We often work on properties within walking distance of these locations.
Roof Repair in Streeterville

Most originate from aged single-ply membrane, parapet wall flashings, or roof drain failures. Our repair process always starts with diagnosis — finding where water actually enters the roof, not just where it shows up inside. Most Streeterville repairs complete in a single day.

Roof Inspections in Streeterville
A Streeterville inspection answers the real question: how many years until I need to spend money? We climb the roof, check the attic, and document everything in a written photo report. For Streeterville homeowners we recommend a spring inspection (catches winter damage) and a fall inspection (preps for ice-dam season). Real-estate inspections are typically scheduled within 2–3 business days. Inspection details →
