Steep Slope Roofing Systems

With a seemingly endless amount of roof materials and styles to choose from, it’s no wonder steep slope roofing is so common in the Chicago area.

The right steep slope roofing system can take a multifamily unit or building from ordinary to extraordinary. Since 1917, Durable Roofing has provided guaranteed roofing services, the highest quality materials backed by manufacturer warranties, and solutions designed for long-term success.

The Chicago Area’s Steep Slope Roofing System Specialist

When you think of houses in Chicagoland, you probably picture a steep-slope roof. While its true residential roofing is typically sloped, some commercial roofing also has sloped roof pitches. At Durable Roofing, our team is more than capable of providing the highest quality pitched roof services.

For over 100 years, Durable Roofing has installed, repaired, and replaced steep slope roofing systems. When working on steep slope roofing systems, two vital factors ensure success—hands-on experience and safety. From shingle installation to metal repairs, we’ve done it all.

In most instances, steep slope roofing is more visually appealing on buildings. Don’t assume you must sacrifice functionality for beauty, though. Sloped roofs often last longer and shed water more efficiently than flat roof systems. Durable Roofing’s knowledge and expertise help you choose roofing materials and services for your multifamily unit or building.

“Responsiveness, cost, and professionalism are some of the important elements I check for when looking for services in any industry. I found all these in Durable Roofing Company. I am glad I chose these experts to work on my roof.”

Asphalt and Architectural Shingle Roof Materials

Both asphalt and architectural shingles are durable, energy-efficient, easy to install, and available in several colors.

Traditional shingle roof materials are more budget-friendly, but architectural shingles provide benefits to justify the extra cost. Asphalt shingles have a typical lifespan of up to 20 years, while you can expect 50 years from architectural shingles.

Slate Roof Systems

One of the most beautiful and high-performance roofing options is slate. While it carries more upfront costs than shingle systems, slate offers long-term value. Slate roofing is often referred to as a “lifetime roof” in the industry because it has a service life of 100 years or more.

Its natural fire and mold resistance matches the slate’s durability. Because slate roof systems don’t absorb water, Chicago’s cold winters pose no threat of frost or ice damage. Slate is also environmentally friendly because it can be recycled and repurposed.

Metal Roof Systems

Metal roofs combine functionality, visual appeal, and durability into one attractive roofing package. Standing seam metal roofs hold up to severe weather, including strong winds, heavy snowfall, and hail. They also have a class A fire rating as an added layer of protection.

You can expect your metal roofing materials to last at least 40 years, and they are fully recyclable after being removed. Another significant benefit of metal is the increased energy efficiency it provides. They both reflect UV rays while also emitting heat away from your structure.

Don’t Forget About Your Gutters

Not only do gutters keep water moving off your roof and away from your building, they also add the perfect finishing touch to your facility. Durable Roofing bends and shapes gutters and downspouts on-site to ensure a perfect fit.

Soffits, fascia, and siding are all critical components of a high-performance drainage system. If you need to repair or replace any parts, Durable Roofing is your go-to source for unmatched roofing and drainage services.
