Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional flat and low-slope roofing in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. Low-slope in Bartlett means two very different buildings. The commercial stock along the Route 59 and Lake Street corridors, and the porch, bay and dormer roofs bolted onto ten thousand subdivision houses. On the commercial side the code goes further than it does on a house.
Where a roof assembly carries its insulation entirely above the deck, a replacement of that roof has to bring the insulation up to what the code requires now, not back to whatever thickness happened to be there in 1987. That is a thickness change, and thickness changes everything above it. Thickness is not a detail on a low-slope roof, it is the datum everything else is set from.
So the first question on any low-slope replacement is what is actually under the membrane. A core cut answers it in ten minutes. If the answer is an inch and a half of tired fiberboard, the replacement carries new polyiso to current thickness, and the edge metal, the curbs and the door thresholds all have to be re-detailed to suit the new height. The residential version is smaller and gets ignored for decades.
Half-in-twelve porch roofs behind the front elevation, originally torched-down or laid in a cheap rubber, and nobody has been up there since the closing. They are the source of a startling share of the interior stains we get called about in this village. We find failed seams, blistered torch-down and daylight through rotted fascia returns, and the owner is genuinely astonished because the main roof is fine and nobody thinks of the porch as a roof at all.
Our materials are boring on purpose. Sixty-mil TPO mechanically attached on the larger commercial fields, fully adhered EPDM on small residential decks where the fastening pattern would telegraph, and tapered polyiso to move water to a scupper or an internal drain rather than letting it sit. Termination bar and counterflashing at every wall, and a proper edge metal rather than a strip of coil stock bent on site.
Ponding water is a maintenance problem on any membrane and a warranty problem on some of them. An opinion on the small ones: on a residential porch roof under two hundred square feet, a single-ply membrane beats rolled asphalt by enough to justify the mobilization. Rolled roofing on that detail is a five-year product sold as a fifteen-year one. We would rather do the small job properly once than come back to it in year six.
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 flat and low-slope roofing
The difference between flat and low-slope roofing that lasts and flat and low-slope 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 flat and low-slope roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The flat and low-slope 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 flat and low-slope 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.
