Call (847) 534-9856Note 01What is the best replacement for a flat roof?
When repair is no longer honest, the choice is between membrane systems, and it follows the roof: foot traffic, how many pipes and vents go through it, and how it meets the walls. The edges and drains matter more than the brand.
Note 02Is standing water on a flat roof a problem?
Not if it clears within a day or two of rain. Water still sitting a week later is a seam being tested every day, and it usually means the drain is not at the low point. In winter that same hollow fills with ice.
Note 03What is the average cost to replace a flat roof in Chicago?
We have no published figure for the Chicago area to give you, and we would rather say so than guess. The price follows the area, the number of penetrations, how the edges meet the walls and whether the old roof comes off. A written quote, itemized, is the honest number.
