Our Services

Flat roof membrane repair near Kedzie Boulevard, Logan Square

Flat Roof Repair & Replacement

The majority of Logan Square roofs are flat—and they're prone to membrane shrinkage, seam failure, and pooling water. We repair PVC, TPO, and EPDM single-ply systems with hot-air welding and mechanical fastening, or tear off and replace when repair won't hold.

We monitor Chicago's 30+ psf snow load requirements and ensure slope design prevents standing water on your greystones or converted warehouse lofts near the 606 trail.

Historic sandstone and brick tuckpointing, Logan Boulevard corridor

Masonry & Tuckpointing

Logan Square's historic district includes stunning sandstone Romanesque, gray stone Victorian, and brick buildings built 1880–1930. Deteriorated mortar joints leak water into walls and roof systems. We tuckpoint using period-correct lime mortar to match original construction.

Modern masonry buildings (post-1990) with split-face block or jumbo brick need ventilation and sealant to release trapped moisture. We install WickRight passive vents and custom flashing to protect your investment.

Roof Inspection & Leak Detection

Water stains on ceilings, moisture in walls, or visible cracks mean it's time for professional diagnosis. We inspect flashing, gutters, downspouts, and underlying structure to pinpoint the source before damage spreads.

Early detection saves repair costs and prevents mold intrusion—critical in Logan Square's diverse housing stock of single-family homes, small flats, and larger apartment buildings on Humboldt Boulevard.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Historic District Designation

Logan Square became a Chicago Landmark in 2005, protecting hundreds of contributing buildings on the boulevards. Any roof work on a landmark-designated property may require design review. We handle permit applications and ensure materials match historic standards.

Chicago Snow & Wind Load

Winter brings heavy snow and ice to the North Shore. Chicago's snow load requirements are 30+ pounds per square foot, demanding proper roof slope, reinforcement, and drainage. We design and install systems to handle Midwest weather without failure.

Street Access & Permits

Logan Square's residential parking permit zones and tight street frontage mean we coordinate loading zones, protect street trees, and schedule work around Logan Square Arts Festival or community events. Chicago code mandates that only two layers of roofing are allowed at once, after which the old roof must be torn off—we manage demolition permits and waste removal.

Coverage Area

We serve Logan Square and nearby neighborhoods with fast response and transparent scheduling.

Logan Square Proper

The historic heart: centered on the public square at the three-way intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Logan Boulevard and Kedzie Boulevard. Logan Boulevard is lined with regal limestone homes and anchored by the Illinois Centennial Monument. We work on the greystones, bungalows, and vintage flats throughout this protected district.

Bucktown

Bucktown is primarily residential, with a mix of older single family homes and converted industrial loft spaces. These lofts have challenging flat roofs and exposed brick walls. We specialize in both preservation and modern moisture remedies.
