Summit & Slate Roofing installs and repairs commercial roofing across Wheaton, from Cantigny Park to Cosley Zoo. Wheaton is the DuPage County seat, and its housing stock tells two stories on one roof. The streets around downtown and Wheaton College hold a lot of pre-1950 homes with steep pitches, multiple dormers, and original wood decking that is now brittle. We tear those off down to the deck, replace any rotted boards, and rebuild the system properly instead of laying a second layer over tired shingles. That older-home detail work is where a lot of bargain crews cut corners.
Wheaton sits inland in DuPage County, so it takes the full Chicago freeze-thaw swing rather than lake-moderated temps. Winters bring ice dams on the deep north-facing slopes of older Wheaton roofs, plus snow loads that stack on low-pitch additions. Summer means the derecho and straight-line wind corridor that runs the western suburbs, along with hail off fast-moving July storm cells. Spring thaw is when last winter's ice-dam leaks finally show on ceilings.
What our Wheaton commercial roofing includes
Every Commercial Roofing job in Wheaton 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.
