Featured Case Study

Audi Dealership TPO Recover, Tinley Park

A recover that saved the ownership group roughly 30 percent versus a full tear-off and kept the dealership open through the install.

Car Dealership Modified Bitumen → 60-mil TPO Scope: Recover 20-Year NDL Warranty

Scope of Work

The Audi dealership on 159th Street was operating on an aging modified bitumen system at the end of its useful life, with documented ponding at the middle scupper areas. Because only one membrane system was on the deck, Illinois code allowed a recover. We confirmed substrate integrity through core samples and moisture probes, engineered a tapered insulation layout to correct the historical ponding pattern, and installed a mechanically fastened 60-mil TPO overlay across all three roof sections. New edge metal, penetration flashings, and drain retrofits completed the assembly.

Result

The reflective white TPO surface lowered the rooftop temperature load on showroom HVAC. The recover approach saved the ownership group roughly 30 percent versus a full tear-off, kept the dealership open during the install, and resolved the chronic ponding that was driving premature membrane wear. Backed by a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty.

How We Are Different

We Don't Sell Roofs. We Protect the Asset.

For a property owner, a commercial roof is a capital decision, not a purchase. The right move depends on your hold period, your underwriting, and what the roof is actually costing you in repairs, energy, and risk, not on what a contractor wants to sell this quarter. Our job is to give you the data to make that call, then execute it cleanly.

That starts with our proof-of-value inspection: drone aerial imaging and core samples that show the true condition and moisture content of the roof, delivered in a written report with photo documentation and a clear set of options. From there we lay out repair, coat, recover, and full-replacement paths with cost-per-year on each, so you can align the roof to your strategy, whether that is maximizing NOI on a long hold or minimizing capital outlay before a sale.

We are a non-union, family-owned contractor based in Mokena, certified by Mule-Hide, FiberTite, and GenFlex, fully licensed and insured, and built to run multi-site programs with institutional-grade reporting. You get the cost advantage and accountability of a local family business with the documentation standards an asset manager expects.

Storm Damage & Insurance Claims

Commercial Storm Damage and Insurance Claims

Hail and wind damage on a commercial roof rarely looks dramatic from the ground, which is exactly why carriers underpay these claims. Membrane bruising, displaced ballast, split seams, torn flashing, and damaged rooftop units sit out of sight on a low-slope roof, and a claim scoped from a parking-lot inspection almost always misses them. On a 50,000 to 500,000 square foot building, that gap is measured in six figures.

We document the full scope before you file. Our proof-of-value inspection walks every square of the roof with drone imagery, core samples, and moisture mapping, then packages the evidence your carrier needs. We meet your adjuster on site so the approved scope reflects the real damage, not a desk estimate.

  • Full-roof damage documentation with drone imagery and photo evidence
  • Core samples and moisture mapping to prove trapped water beneath the membrane
  • Xactimate-aligned scope so the estimate matches the actual damage
  • On-site adjuster meetings to align the approved scope of work
  • Restoration and replacement built to code and manufacturer warranty

Common Questions

Commercial Roofing FAQs

We focus on mid-market commercial properties roughly 20,000 to 500,000 square feet: industrial and warehouse, multifamily, retail, dealerships, office, hotels, institutional, and data center buildings across Will, Kane, DuPage, and Suburban Cook counties.
It is our data-driven evaluation: drone aerial imaging and core samples that document the roof's true condition and moisture content, delivered as a written report with photos and a clear set of repair, coat, recover, and replace options with cost-per-year on each. You get the facts before you commit capital.
It depends on the membrane's remaining life, moisture in the system, and your hold period. A saturated or failed roof needs replacement; a sound roof nearing the end of its life is often a candidate for a recover or a coating that adds 10 to 20 years at a fraction of replacement cost. Our inspection gives you cost-per-year on each path so the decision is financial, not guesswork.
Yes. As a certified Mule-Hide, FiberTite, and GenFlex installer we provide manufacturer NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties on qualifying certified installations, backed by documented installation and maintenance records that keep the warranty valid.
Yes. We run multi-site preventative maintenance and capital-planning programs with consistent inspection, documentation, and reporting across a portfolio, so owners and asset managers get one accountable contractor and one standard of reporting across every building.
We document the full scope of damage before you file. We walk every square of the roof with drone imagery, core samples, and moisture mapping, then package the photo evidence and an Xactimate-aligned scope your carrier needs, and we meet your adjuster on site so the approved scope reflects the real damage. On large commercial roofs, damage scoped from the ground is routinely underpaid, so the documentation is what protects the claim.
