Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings and sealing in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. This is a product we sell almost never on a Bartlett house. Putting that in writing on our own website beats admitting it once a contract is already sitting on your table. Coatings get pitched in this market as the clever way around the energy code.
A coating is a repair, a repair removes no sheathing, therefore no insulation requirement. That reasoning is technically correct and it is a terrible reason to buy anything. Choosing a roofing product to dodge a code provision is how people end up with both the coating and the reroof, four years apart. On asphalt shingles the physical case is worse than the legal one.
An acrylic film bridges the laps, so the mat can no longer dry downward and the moisture it takes on stays in it. The shingle manufacturer's warranty ends the day the sprayer starts. You buy three to five usable years and you give up the clean tear-off you would otherwise have had, because now every course is glued to the one below it. Coatings are genuinely good at one thing, and we do that work.
Aged single-ply and modified-bitumen membranes on commercial low-slope roofs restore beautifully under silicone. The substrate is designed to be monolithic, the coating is designed to be monolithic, and a properly prepared restoration buys a real second life at a fraction of a replacement. Silicone over a sound adhered membrane, applied at the right mil thickness with the seams detailed first, is a legitimate ten-to-fifteen-year decision. Before we will quote one, three tests.
An adhesion pull to confirm the coating will actually bond to what is there. Core cuts to find wet insulation, because coating over saturated board seals the water in permanently. And a ponding survey, because silicone in standing water is a warranty argument waiting to happen. Any of those three can disqualify a roof, and finding out in advance costs a morning rather than a season.
If your shingle roof is eighteen years old and leaking, spend nothing on coating and put it toward the reroof. If it is eighteen years old and sound, spend nothing at all. Both of those are real answers and we give them regularly. We give that advice knowing exactly how it sounds coming from a roofing company, and we give it anyway, because the alternative is selling a product we would not put on our own buildings.
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 roof coatings and sealing
The difference between roof coatings and sealing that lasts and roof coatings and sealing 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 roof coatings and sealing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof coatings and sealing 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 roof coatings and sealing 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.
