Roofing Services in Andersonville, Chicago

Andersonville carries frame single-family houses, two-flats and small apartment buildings from the 1890s through the 1920s on the residential blocks, with a dense and continuous historic commercial strip along Clark Street. The commercial buildings are attached, masonry, with low-slope roofs behind shared parapets - which means roof work on one building routinely involves the flashing conditions at two neighbors. The residential stock is a mix of pitched and low-slope with rear porches and additions throughout.

The Clark Street commercial buildings are the distinctive work here: attached masonry structures with shared party walls, where the party wall flashing and the transitions between adjacent roofs of different heights and ages are the leak sources. On the residential blocks, rear porch and addition roofs and standard parapet work dominate.
