Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs commercial roofing across Glen Ellyn, from Lake Ellyn Park to the Illinois Prairie Path. Glen Ellyn is one of the older villages in the western suburbs, and the roofs show it. Walk the streets around Lake Ellyn or Old Town and you see steep gables, deep eaves, dormers, and complex valleys on homes built between the 1920s and 1950s. Those rooflines look great and shed snow well, but they collect ice at the eaves and they take real skill to reroof correctly. We work on these houses every week, so we know where the leaks start before you do.
Glen Ellyn sits on some of DuPage County's higher, hill-and-ravine ground, so wind catches the steep gables on its older homes harder than on flatter streets nearby. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw swings and heavy ice damming along the deep eaves common on 1920s-1950s houses. Summer storms tracking off the prairie deliver pea-to-quarter-size hail and 60-plus mph gusts. The dense, mature tree canopy keeps north slopes damp, which shortens shingle life and feeds moss in shaded valleys.
What our Glen Ellyn commercial roofing includes
Every Commercial Roofing job in Glen Ellyn 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.
