The Work, Photographed The Day We Finished It

Every frame below is a Guardian job: tear-offs mid-swing, membranes going down, metal panels seamed, coatings rolled corner to corner. This is what shows up when you hire the crew instead of the brochure. Want the story behind any of them? Ask us and we will tell you what the roof needed and why.

Chicago Flat Roofs, Coatings And Tear-Offs

A newer batch out of the city and the near suburbs: two-flats and three-flats getting silicone coatings, torch-down and modified bitumen fields, a rooftop water-tank platform rebuild, and shingle tear-offs running in January weather. Same crew, same standard, photographed while the work was moving.

Looking for a specific kind of work? Shingle jobs live on the replacement and installation pages, membrane work on the flat roof and TPO pages, and big-building projects under commercial roofing. For addresses of jobs near you that you can drive past, get in touch.

A note on what you are looking at. These frames were taken by the crew, on the job, usually minutes after the last fastener went in or while the work was still moving. Nobody staged anything and nobody hired a photographer. That is why you see underlayment mid-roll, trailers in driveways and coating still wet in a couple of shots. We would rather show the work the way it actually happens than dress it up. Every roof type we sell is represented here somewhere: architectural shingle, standing seam and panel metal, modified bitumen, TPO and full coating systems, plus the framing and structural carpentry that comes before some of them. If a kind of job you are considering is not pictured, ask and we will send photos from a recent one.
