Roofing Services in West Town, Chicago

West Town is a large community area with a correspondingly wide range: 19th century frame workers cottages, brick two-flats and three-flats, converted industrial and warehouse buildings, dense new residential infill, and commercial buildings along the major corridors. Almost all of it is low-slope behind parapets. The converted industrial buildings are worth noting - large low-slope roof areas, often with original structural decks, converted to residential use with new penetrations, mechanical equipment and roof decks added.

Industrial conversions and new infill generate the most calls: penetrations cut through existing membrane during conversion, roof deck framing attachments, and terminations where new construction meets an older adjacent building. On the un-converted older stock, parapet coping, membrane terminations and rear addition roofs are the standard work.
