Exceptional Flat Roof Systems for the Chicago Area

Flat roof systems refer to low slope or minimal pitch roofing commonly found on commercial buildings and multifamily dwellings. However, flat roofing is becoming more popular for a variety of roofing as well. Property owners often prefer flat roofs because they are versatile, cost-effective, and easily installed and maintained.

Durable Roofing offers several types of roofing designed for multi-unit and commercial roofs. We help you choose roof materials that meet your requirements, goals, preferences, and business operations.

“We needed a new roof and Durable Roofing came out to our Chicago building the same day we called. Soon after they started the project and worked until it was completed. I highly recommend Durable Roofing to anyone in the Chicago area.”

Flat Roof Repairs and Restorations

When properly installed by Durable Roofing, synthetic rubber roofs (EPDM roofing) and plasticized single-ply roofs (TPO and PVC roofs) require less maintenance and fewer repairs than other roof systems.

Depending on your flat roof material, repairs are as simple as patching, caulking, or resealing. If your flat roof system has extensive damage, Durable can restore the top layer by adding a seamless coating.

  • Benefits of Flat Roof Systems

    Flat Roof systems offer property owners several advantages, with reduced costs being the most popular. Since people can’t see flat roofs from street level, there is less need to worry about curb appeal. Roof repairs and maintenance are much less complicated and far safer on flat roofs than on steep slopes. Because of that, your projects are completed more quickly and cost less.

    Another exciting benefit of Durable Roofing’s low slope roofing is added versatility. You can use flat roofs to store large HVAC equipment at a facility or convert it to livable outdoor space for tenants. If you are looking to improve energy efficiency or maintain eco-friendly conditions, low-slope roofing excels. Durable Roofing installs reflective roofing materials and garden roofing for customers looking to lower energy costs and improve sustainability.

    Preventative Maintenance Programs

    Don’t confuse low maintenance with no maintenance. Even though flat roofs require less maintenance than steep slopes, that doesn’t mean you can ignore them. Durable Roofing’s preventative maintenance programs provide routine care to keep your roof functioning at peak ability.

    Proactive maintenance extends the life of your roof, reduces the need for repairs, and catches small issues before they turn into costly problems. Durable Roofing allows you to customize your plan based on your needs.
