Modified Bitumen Roofing work we do in Des Plaines

SBS and APP modified bitumen flat-roof installation, replacement, and repair. The dominant system on the industrial corridor's mid-1990s and earlier construction — and still the right specification for many tenant-impact-sensitive retrofit projects.

Des Plaines has substantial commercial inventory along River Road and Mannheim — retail centers, light industrial, multi-tenant office properties — plus the Des Plaines Industrial Park's flat-roof commercial buildings. Lake-effect weather exposure on lakeside properties is a real factor here.

Our commercial work in Des Plaines goes back to our founding year. We know the city's permit process and the property managers active in the local commercial market.

How we approach Des Plaines commercial projects

Pre-project planning

Roof assessment with photo documentation, scope written line-by-line, tenant impact analysis, after-hours work window scheduling if needed, dock and parking coordination with your facilities team. We don't show up day-one without a plan.

Tenant-impact mitigation

Pre-project tenant notification with our foreman's direct contact, daily site walkthrough with the property manager, on-site protection of HVAC and skylight openings, dust and debris containment for sensitive interior spaces, daily cleanup so the property looks operational at end of each work day.

Capital planning & documentation

For multi-property portfolios: annual condition assessment per property, 1/3/5-year capital forecast, repair vs replacement recommendations, and budget-grade cost estimates so your facilities CAPEX/OPEX planning reflects what's actually coming.

Post-storm response

After significant wind, hail, or ice events we respond to maintenance-contract properties within 24-48 hours for documented condition assessment. Repair scope is at contract pricing. Insurance documentation is provided where the damage warrants a claim.

Membrane patches, blistering remediation, and seam re-work typically $3,000-$15,000

Membrane patches, seam re-work, blistering remediation, flashing repair, and section replacement on otherwise sound systems.

All commercial estimates are written line-item with manufacturer specs, tear-off scope, decking allowance, and tenant-coordination plan. Call (708) 847-5418 for a free Des Plaines commercial property assessment.
