Your Go-To Flat Roofing Company in Des Plaines, Illinois

Des Plaines roofs handle open wind exposure and seasonal temperature swings. Start with drainage. Tapered insulation should push water to primary drains, and overflow paths should be clear. Parapet coping must be straight, secure, and sealed at joints. Where roof areas step between levels, expansion joints reduce stress and help membranes maintain integrity during temperature changes.

TPO brings reflectivity and clean welds. EPDM excels on larger spans with more movement. Modified bitumen performs well around frequent curbs and edge details. Add walkway protection for service routes and confirm that pitch pockets and pipe flashings are sealed with compatible materials. Keep maintenance simple and regular rather than reactive.

Review system choices at Flat Roof Installation. When the existing assembly is dry, Flat Roof Restoration can extend life with coatings and detail rebuilds. For urgent issues at drains, skylights, or RTUs, see Flat Roof Repair.
