Who this is for in Pilsen
Landlords and owner-occupants of 2–6 flats, courtyard walk-ups, and storefront-over-apartment buildings in Pilsen. Active leaks into top units get priority.
Problems we fix here
Pilsen’s masonry buildings put stress on parapet flashings and deck edges. What we look for:
- Ponding behind parapets when drains sit high or scuppers clog
- Seam failures where old membrane meets brick and chimney stacks
- Cracked or missing flashings at party walls and courtyard returns
- Drains that back up after heavy rain — water finds the next open seam
Courtyard and alley access is normal for us. We protect the building during dry-in and leave flashings detailed for Chicago freeze-thaw.
How we work
Short process — mod-bit preferred
Inspection → written 3-option quote → schedule with leak priority. Mod-bit is our go-to; TPO/EPDM only when the building calls for it.
- Inspect — leaks, ponding, membrane, seams, flashings, drains.
- Written quote — repair / recover / replace after the walkthrough.
- Schedule — active leaks first.
- Install — dry-in, drains & flashings detailed, walkthrough before we leave.
