Roofing in Streeterville

Lakefront central neighborhood east of Michigan Avenue.

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

We see the same handful of repair issues across Streeterville: high-rise membrane recovers; lakefront wind damage; helipad and mechanical pad flashings. 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 →
