Commercial Roofing and Construction Services.
Flat and low-slope roof systems, commercial repairs and maintenance, and insurance claims for building owners and property managers across the Chicago area. One direct, professional team that keeps your project on track and your building protected.
01 / Built for Commercial Work
Commercial Buildings Ask More of a Roofing Contractor.
Commercial buildings put different demands on a roofing contractor than homes do. The systems are different, the stakes of a leak or failure are higher when tenants and operations are involved, and the documentation and approval process for commercial work calls for a different level of experience. A contractor who only works on houses isn’t the right call for a commercial property.
RX Roofing & Construction handles commercial roofing and exterior work throughout the Chicago area. We install and maintain flat and low-slope commercial roof systems, handle commercial insurance claims, and bring the same direct, professional approach that property managers and building owners need to keep a project on track and a building protected.
02 / Commercial Roofing Systems
Flat and Low-Slope Systems We Install and Maintain.
Flat and low-slope commercial roofing is led by single-ply membranes and coating systems. Each one has different performance, price points, and ideal uses. Here are the systems we install and maintain.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
A single-ply white membrane that reflects heat and lowers cooling loads. TPO is one of the most widely installed commercial roofing systems in the country. It’s durable, cost-effective, and performs well across a range of climates, including the freeze-thaw cycling the Chicago area puts roofs through.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
A rubber membrane that has been installed on commercial buildings for decades. EPDM is known for its flexibility in cold weather, which makes it well-suited to Midwest climates, and for a long track record of performance.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
A reinforced single-ply membrane with strong chemical resistance and heat-welded seams that create a continuous waterproof surface. PVC is a strong option for restaurant buildings, facilities with grease or chemical exposure, and properties where seam integrity is a priority.
Roof Coatings
For commercial roofs that are structurally sound but have aging surfaces or minor wear, a fluid-applied coating system can restore waterproofing and add years of service life without a full tear-off.

03 / Repair & Maintenance
Not Every Issue Needs a New Roof.
Not every commercial roofing issue calls for a new system. We handle commercial roof repair for active leaks, seam failures, blister and ponding issues, and storm damage on all membrane types. When a repair is the right call, we document the scope, complete the work, and hand you a written report.
We also offer commercial roof maintenance programs for owners and managers who want to stay ahead of problems on a documented schedule. Flat roofs in particular benefit from semi-annual inspections that catch seam wear, coating deterioration, and drainage trouble before they turn into emergencies. Regular maintenance also protects manufacturer warranties on newer systems.
- Active leaks, seam failures, blisters & ponding
- Storm damage repair on all membrane types
- Semi-annual inspections on a documented schedule
- A written report after every visit
04 / Commercial Insurance Claims
We Sit in the Room With Your Carrier.
Storm damage to commercial buildings is handled through commercial property insurance, and the claims process carries the same complexity as a homeowners claim, sometimes more. Documenting the damage, the scope of the repair, and adjuster communication all call for an experienced contractor in the conversation.
We work directly with your commercial insurance carrier through the claims process. We document storm and hail damage to roofing systems and exterior materials, communicate with the adjuster, and follow up through approval. For property managers juggling multiple stakeholders, we provide the reports and documentation your team needs at every step.
- Damage documented in detail for the claim
- Direct communication with your adjuster
- Follow-up through approval
- Reports built for multiple stakeholders
05 / The Whole Building
More Than Just the Roof.
We handle more than the roof on commercial properties. When a storm or a renovation project also touches the building exterior, we can coordinate siding and other exterior components under the same project. One contractor for the full exterior, including windows where they’re part of the scope, simplifies scheduling, cuts down the number of vendors to manage, and keeps the job site organized.
Commercial Siding
When panels are damaged in the same storm that hit the roof, we match and replace them as part of one coordinated restoration.
Gutters & Roofline
Seamless gutters, drainage, and roofline components handled on the same schedule as the roof and the rest of the exterior.
