Roofing Styles That Work Well In Waukegan

 

Pitched Roofs With Shingles

Ideal for single-family homes. A pitched design improves drainage, ventilation, and durability in snowy conditions. We typically use architectural asphalt shingles that are both strong and visually clean.

 

Flat Roof Systems

Efficient and increasingly popular in modern and multi-unit builds. Flat roofs offer utility space for solar panels, HVAC, and more. We install high-performance membranes built to handle temperature swings and heavy rain.

 

Custom Roof Configurations

Split-levels, extensions, mixed slopes—we’ve built systems around all of them. Our team handles complicated layouts with ease, creating smooth drainage and consistent protection.

 

Cedar Shake And Synthetic Shake

Natural wood adds a warm, premium feel. For less maintenance, synthetic shake mimics the same appearance while resisting rot, UV damage, and warping.

 

Reflective & Eco Roof Systems

Whether it's a white membrane or cool roof coating, reflective materials reduce attic temps and help you save on energy bills—especially in full-sun neighborhoods.

 

Roofing Materials We Install Often

 

Asphalt Shingles

A strong all-around choice. Affordable, fast to install, and adaptable to almost any home. We offer options that are wind- and hail-rated for extra security.

 

EPDM Roofing

Best for flat and low-slope homes. This rubber membrane offers consistent water resistance, flexibility, and longevity with minimal maintenance.

 

TPO Roofing

A reflective single-ply membrane that’s lightweight and highly energy-efficient. Great for keeping indoor temps lower in the warmer months.

 

Modified Bitumen

Built to last under harsh conditions. Modified bitumen is flexible, easy to repair, and ideal for low-slope residential roofs or add-ons.

 

Fluid-Applied Membranes

These are sprayed or rolled onto the surface, forming a single waterproof layer with no seams. Great for aging flat roofs or complex angles.

 

Metal Roofing

Durable, low-maintenance, and sleek. Metal resists snow, hail, and fire, and works well in both traditional and modern applications. Available in standing seam or panel formats.

 

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Classic and tough. BUR uses alternating layers of bitumen and fabric for long-lasting performance on flat roof homes.

 

Cedar Shake

Great insulation and timeless looks—but does require regular sealing and care. Ideal for shaded areas or homeowners who love the natural aesthetic.

 

Synthetic Roofing

These composite shingles replicate the appearance of shake, tile, or slate—without the weight or upkeep. A great balance between form and function.

 

Slate Roofing

One of the most durable roofing types available. Natural stone that lasts 75–100 years when installed correctly. Heavy and premium-priced, but unmatched in longevity.

 

Clay & Concrete Tile

Fire-resistant, weatherproof, and long-lasting. These tiles work well with custom or Spanish-style homes and can handle Midwest winters if installed on a reinforced structure.

 

Cool Roof Coatings

Best for flat roofs exposed to full sun. These coatings help lower interior heat buildup and extend the life of your roofing material.

Roof Costs: What To Expect

Every home is different. The size, slope, material choice, and even how accessible your roof is all impact final pricing. For example, installing metal, TPO, or fluid-applied systems typically costs more than a standard asphalt roof—but they also require fewer repairs down the line.
