Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional commercial roofing in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. The commercial roofs we work on sit in the industrial belt that runs from Bartlett out through Itasca, Wood Dale and Elk Grove Village, and the energy code hits them harder than it hits houses. The code reaches these buildings harder.
On a commercial roof replacement where the insulation sits entirely above the deck, the alteration provisions require that insulation to come up to what the code demands now. Not to match what was there. On a building put up in the eighties with an inch and a half of fiberboard under a ballasted single-ply, that is a substantial thickness increase, and the standard is set by the state rather than by the village.
Thickness is not negotiable. Everything above the insulation then has to follow it. Edge metal, the height of every rooftop unit curb, pipe supports, door thresholds onto the roof, and any parapet cap that suddenly has less freeboard than it used to. Bidders who price membrane and skip that list are the ones who come back with change orders. Everything above the insulation follows it. The deck itself decides the fastening.
Steel deck takes a fastener and plate pattern derived from an uplift calculation and confirmed with pull tests on site, and on a wide-open warehouse field the perimeter and corner zones need a tighter pattern than the field does. Concrete and gypsum decks are different animals again, and you find out which you have with a core cut, not from a drawing. A core cut settles the argument. The systems we install are deliberately unexciting.
Sixty-mil mechanically attached TPO across large fields, fully adhered EPDM where the fastening pattern would show or the deck cannot take fasteners, and modified bitumen in walkway and service areas where people will drag equipment across it. Ballast removal, if there is ballast, is its own line and its own logistics, and buildings with rooftop equipment need a shutdown plan before anyone lifts a panel. None of that belongs in a footnote. We keep the systems deliberately unexciting.
Practical advice to owners: budget the insulation line first and the membrane second. Every unpleasant surprise we have watched on a commercial reroof in this county came from someone pricing the part they could see. Insulation is the part that is dictated to you and the part you cannot value-engineer, so it belongs at the top of the sheet where you have to look at it. Price the part you cannot see first.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, dense-packed cellulose blown to R-49, unvented cathedral assembly with closed-cell foam — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bartlett and nearby communities including Streamwood, Hanover Park, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial roofing
The difference between commercial roofing that lasts and commercial roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Bartlett job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the tri-county northwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Bartlett Chooses Bartlett Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the sheathing question in advance, per sheet and per plane, so no homeowner in this village learns what a roof plane costs on the morning it is opened.
- ✓Every roof gets a written plane count sorted into attic-above and cathedral-above, because those two categories carry insulation obligations that differ by thousands of dollars.
- ✓We will not swap a sheet of decking as a courtesy. That single free panel is what converts an eight-hundred-dollar repair into an envelope project, and we say so up front.
- ✓We do not coat asphalt shingle roofs. It seals moisture into the mat, ends the manufacturer warranty, and costs you the clean tear-off you would otherwise have had.
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in Bartlett follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every commercial roofing project in Bartlett gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
