Audi Dealership TPO Recover
Tinley Park, IL · Cook County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Audi dealership on 159th Street was operating on an aging modified bitumen system at end of useful life with documented ponding at the middle scupper areas. Because only one membrane system was on the deck, Illinois code allowed a recover. Our team 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 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 install, and resolved the chronic ponding that was driving premature membrane wear. Backed by a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty.
Industrial Facility TPO Recover
Northbrook, IL · Cook County
Before
AfterScope of Work
Managed for the DSI Group on a Wainwright Drive mixed-use industrial and office facility. Pre-construction conditions included active moisture intrusion at curb locations, deteriorated skylights, and vertical wall saturation from compromised masonry. We removed an obsolete vent hood, installed structural B-deck metal with insulation leveling to seal the opening, then mechanically fastened a 60-mil TPO recover system over the verified substrate. The scope also covered replacement of three curb-mounted double-dome skylights, perimeter and penetration re-flashing, and masonry tuckpointing to address the wall saturation driving interior damage.
Result
Eliminated the active leak file and brought the building back to a documented dry condition. Ownership deferred a full replacement at a fraction of tear-off cost and now operates on a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty. Production continued uninterrupted across the install.
Retail Center EPDM Recover
Lockport, IL · Will County
Before
AfterScope of Work
Multi-tenant retail center on East 9th Street running on an aging ballasted EPDM assembly. The technical challenge was managing eight rooftop HVAC units that needed proper flashing detail without the cost and disruption of a crane lift. Our crew jacked and leveled each unit manually, installed a 3/8-inch fanfold barrier across the deck, and finished with a 60-mil EPDM membrane. We maximized reuse of existing stone ballast to control material cost, then re-flashed every penetration, curb, and parapet condition.
Result
The retail center stayed open and tenants kept operating throughout the project. The owner avoided the expense of a crane mobilization while still achieving full perimeter and penetration integrity. Backed by a 20-year warranty.
Retail Center PVC Tear-Off
Aurora, IL · Kane County
Before
AfterScope of Work
Galena Square is a multi-building retail center spanning 2112 and 2124 West Galena Boulevard. This project showcases our expertise in insurance-driven commercial storm restoration. Our team managed both the public adjusting and general contracting phases to help the ownership group maximize insurance recovery, then executed a complete roof system replacement in 60-mil PVC. The scope extended beyond roofing: 24-gauge standing seam facade replacement at 2124, new LP siding at 2112, coping metal at both buildings, and new gutters and downspouts across the property.
Result
One coordinated scope, one accountable contractor across roofing, exterior envelope, and adjusting. PVC was selected for chemical resistance against adjacent rooftop kitchen exhaust. Backed by a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty.
Industrial Facility TPO Replacement
St. Charles, IL · Kane County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Omnitronix facility on Swensen Avenue covered 28,000 square feet of TPO layover work. Chronic interior leaks were originating from eight aging commercial double-dome skylights that had reached end of life. Our team installed eight custom-sized VELUX replacement skylights, added a new roof hatch, and established clear drainage paths to four existing roof drains. The new 60-mil TPO membrane was mechanically fastened across the full roof area with new edge metal, perimeter flashings, and re-detailed curbs at every penetration.
Result
Eliminated active interior leaks while improving daylighting, production flow, and rooftop safety. Owner now operates on a 20-year warranted assembly with full skylight integration documented.
Retail Center TPO Tear-Off
Aurora, IL · Kane County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Carniceria El Paso Grande grocery facility on East New York Street was running on a roof at the end of its functional lifecycle. Documented failed seams, membrane brittleness, and chronic ponding made repair uneconomic. We executed a full tear-off down to the substrate, repaired isolated deck damage, installed new tapered ISO insulation engineered for positive drainage, and finished with a mechanically attached 60-mil TPO assembly. All edge metal, perimeter detail, and penetration flashings were replaced to current standard.
Result
Eliminated chronic ponding and water infiltration that were threatening the interior operation. The grocery stayed open through the install, and the owner now operates on a 20-year No Dollar Limit (NDL) manufacturer warranty.
Office Building TPO Tear-Off
McHenry, IL · McHenry County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Coldwell Banker building on Front Street illustrates our ability to adapt to unforeseen field conditions. The project was initially scoped and quoted as a standard recover. On day one of construction, our crew discovered roughly two inches of saturated material and severe ponding water that had compromised the existing insulation. We converted the project into a partial tear-off, replaced 22 squares of wet insulation, and installed five new tapered crickets to establish positive drainage flow to the internal drains. The new 60-mil TPO membrane was mechanically fastened with all edge metal, curb flashings, and drain assemblies brought to current standard.
Result
Caught a problem the owner did not know existed. Office tenants stayed at work throughout the install. The owner closed out with a 20-year warranted assembly, photo documentation of the saturated condition, and a permanent fix for the drainage issue that had been driving accelerated wear.
Coldwell Banker Office TPO Tear-Off
Pekin, IL · Tazewell County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Coldwell Banker office on Court Street required a full tear-off down to the deck plus a significant electrical infrastructure correction. During removal of the failed spray foam layer, our crew discovered that six rooftop HVAC units were improperly wired with rusted switch boxes located too far from the units. We executed the full tear-off, addressed substrate rot, installed new poly-iso insulation to current code R-value, and finished with mechanically fastened 60-mil TPO. The electrical sub-scope involved rewiring all six HVAC units and remounting them on new seal-tight supports. Edge metal, drain retrofits, and every flashing detail were brought to current standard.
Result
Closed out a years-long leak file and resolved code-compliance issues on rooftop electrical the owner did not know existed. Office stayed open throughout the install. The owner now operates on a high-performance, code-compliant assembly with a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty.
Multi-Family Maintenance Program
Chicago, IL · Cook County
Before
AfterScope of Work
River North Park Apartments is a 23-story multifamily tower with 399 residential units on West Illinois Street. The asset features a Protected Membrane Roof (PMR), an assembly where the waterproofing membrane sits beneath the insulation and gravel ballast. PMR systems make leak detection and repair highly technical. The work required systematic disassembly of the ballast, filter fabric, and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards to access and seal a failing 5-foot by 5-foot area around a critical roof drain. After the targeted repair, we returned all layers to original specification and enrolled the property in our preventative maintenance program with documented drone aerial inspections.
Result
Closed out the leak risk on a high-rise asset without disrupting any of the 399 units below. Ownership now operates with a documented condition baseline, a recommended annual maintenance cadence, and the assurance that any future PMR issue can be diagnosed and resolved by a contractor that knows the system.
Industrial TPO Recover (Active Project)
Racine, WI · Racine County
BeforeScope of Work
The Motor Specialty Inc. project on Lathrop Avenue is a study in structural complexity. The facility carries a 1950s-60s-era gypsum roof deck. Gypsum decks lose integrity when wet and require specialized fastening technology, which makes standard recover assumptions a project-killer if not addressed up front. We implemented a "Roadmap" approach: conducting pull-out tests to determine whether auger-style GypTec fasteners could achieve the 300 pounds of resistance required for a 20-year No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty. With test results in hand, we engineered a specialized TPO recover solution sized to the actual deck capacity, then began installation of the mechanically fastened 60-mil TPO with cover board, new edge metal, and full penetration re-detailing.
Result
The project is currently underway. Pull-out testing and GypTec fastening technology have positioned this 60-year-old facility for a code-compliant, structurally sound install with a 20-year manufacturer NDL warranty. Final documentation will publish on completion.
Retail Center Roof Coating
Clarendon Hills, IL · DuPage County
Before
AfterScope of Work
A multi-tenant retail center on South Prospect Avenue in downtown Clarendon Hills, steps from the Metra station. The existing flat roof had reached a point where the owner was weighing a full replacement. Our Proof-of-Value Roof Inspection confirmed the substrate was structurally sound with dry insulation, making the building a strong candidate for a coating restoration instead. We prepped the surface, reinforced seams and penetration details, and applied a reflective coating system across the full roof area. Parapet walls and flashing transitions were sealed and coated to complete the envelope.
Result
The owner avoided a six-figure replacement and extended the roof's service life at a fraction of the cost. The reflective white surface is visible in the aerial after photo, reducing rooftop heat load for the tenants below. All retail tenants stayed open throughout the project with zero disruption to business operations.
The Draude's Full Exterior
Westmont, IL · DuPage County
Before
AfterScope of Work
A two-story Westmont home that had aged out of its tan vinyl siding and original windows. We replaced the full siding system with a crisp white profile and installed new black-framed windows throughout, then finished the trim, soffit, and fascia to tie the whole exterior together.
Result
A complete transformation in curb appeal. The white siding and black windows give the home a clean, modern look from the street, with a tighter, more weather-resistant envelope behind it.
The Marshall's Roof Replacement
Mokena, IL · Will County
Before
AfterScope of Work
Regina's home was running on its original builder-grade shingles, well past their useful lifespan and overdue for an upgrade. We started by improving the attic ventilation system to support performance and longevity of the new roof, then tore off the aging shingles and installed a sharp Onyx Black architectural shingle.
Result
A roof that protects the home the right way and gives the exterior a bold, polished look Regina loves. The new shingle profile completely changed the curb presence of the home, and the deeper architectural shadow line makes the whole street view feel intentional.
The Mansmith's Roof Replacement
Mokena, IL · Will County
Before
AfterScope of Work
The Mansmiths' roof had seen better days. After more than 15 years of wear, the shingles were showing heavy granule loss, aging, and a look that just did not do the home justice anymore. We replaced the existing roof with an Owens Corning Duration 30-year architectural shingle in Sandcastle.
Result
The warm, natural Sandcastle tone ties beautifully into the home's siding and overall exterior, giving the whole property a fresh, polished look. A roof that works hard and looks great doing it.

The Callahan's Full Exterior Restoration
Monee, IL · Will County
Before
AfterScope of Work
Fatima first came to us after a storm looking to file an insurance claim for a new roof. On inspection we were upfront. The damage was not quite there yet. Two weeks later a microburst hit her home directly, and when we came back out the evidence was clear. We helped her file the claim, and the insurance company covered everything: a full roof replacement, gutters and downspouts, and all 13 skylights. For the roof, Fatima went with Onyx Black architectural shingles paired with copper valley metal throughout every valley, a premium detail that handles water beautifully and only looks better as it patinas over time. The gutters and downspouts were replaced in matching black seamless aluminum. We topped it all off with 13 solar-powered venting skylights that bring in natural light and fresh air without a single wire.
Result
What started as a question about whether a claim was even possible turned into one of the most complete exterior transformations we've ever delivered.
