Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs commercial roofing across Aurora, from Paramount Theatre on Stolp Island to Fox River and the RiverEdge Park amphitheater. Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois and the largest in Kane County, and its roofs run the full spectrum because its housing does. Downtown around Stolp Island and the Tanner district you have brick and frame homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, many with steep gable and dormer rooflines and original wood decking. Out on the Far East Side off Route 59 and Eola Road you have subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s whose first-generation builder-grade shingles are now failing on schedule. We replace both, and we price each one for what it actually needs.
Aurora sits in the Fox River valley, where cold air settles overnight and stretches freeze-thaw cycles longer than on higher ground. River-valley humidity feeds heavy ice dams on the shaded north slopes of older East Side homes. Summer brings the same hail and 60-plus mph derecho gusts that hit the rest of Kane County, and west-facing roofs along open farmland on the far east side take the brunt of straight-line wind with no tree cover to slow it.
What our Aurora commercial roofing includes
Every Commercial Roofing job in Aurora includes:
TPO and PVC single-ply membrane
Hot-air-welded single-ply roofs in 60 mil and 80 mil thickness, the standard for flat retail, office, and warehouse roofs in the western suburbs. White TPO reflects summer heat and cuts cooling load on south-facing Naperville buildings.
EPDM rubber roofing
Fully adhered or ballasted EPDM in 60 mil and 90 mil, a proven flat-roof system that handles DuPage freeze-thaw cycles well. We seam with primer and tape or factory-welded splice for buildings that need a 30-year service life.
Modified bitumen and built-up
Two-ply and three-ply modified bitumen for roofs with heavy foot traffic or rooftop equipment. A good fit for older Wheaton and Glen Ellyn commercial buildings that already carry an asphalt-based built-up roof.
Tapered insulation and drainage design
We add tapered polyiso insulation to build positive slope toward drains and eliminate the ponding that voids most membrane warranties. Proper drainage is the single biggest factor in how long a flat roof lasts in this climate.
Commercial roof maintenance and repair
Twice-yearly inspections, seam and flashing repair, drain clearing, and leak diagnosis for property managers and building owners. A maintenance plan catches a $400 seam fix before it becomes a $60,000 saturated-insulation tear-off.
