Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new flat roof installation cost in Chicago?
New flat roof installation in Chicago typically ranges from $8-15 per square foot for commercial properties and $10-18 per square foot for residential projects. The total cost depends on your roof size, material choice, structural requirements, and accessibility. Commercial buildings often see lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale, while smaller residential projects may cost more per square foot. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific property and requirements.
What's the best flat roofing material for Chicago weather?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) performs exceptionally well in Chicago's climate due to its superior resistance to temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, and thermal shock from freeze-thaw cycles. Its white reflective surface also helps with energy efficiency during hot summers. EPDM rubber roofing is another excellent choice for Chicago, offering outstanding durability against extreme weather and proven performance in harsh Midwest conditions.
EPDM vs TPO vs modified bitumen - which is right for my building?
EPDM works best for buildings prioritizing longevity and budget-consciousness, especially with minimal foot traffic. TPO is ideal for energy-efficient buildings or those with moderate foot traffic, offering the best balance of performance and cost. Modified bitumen suits buildings requiring heavy foot traffic or those with existing built-up roof systems, as it handles punctures and impacts better than single-membrane systems.
How long do different flat roofing systems last?
EPDM rubber roofing typically lasts 20-25 years with proper maintenance. TPO systems generally provide 15-20 years of reliable service. Modified bitumen roofing usually lasts 15-20 years depending on the specific system and maintenance. All these lifespans can be extended with regular professional maintenance and prompt repairs when needed.
How long does flat roof installation take?
Most residential flat roof installations take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Commercial projects typically require 1-3 weeks based on square footage, building height, and weather conditions. Simple tear-offs and replacements move faster than installations requiring structural modifications or extensive prep work. We provide specific timelines during our initial consultation based on your project's unique requirements.
