EPDM

EPDM Roofing Systems Page. If you’re looking for a spectacularly durable roofing material, and one that’s proven worldwide to stand up to weathering and temperature fluctuation, then EPDM is the material for you. Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer is a synthetic substance made from natural gas and petroleum. It’s fabricated in several thicknesses and is available in both black and white for ultimate reflective properties. There are multiple ways to install this material, so we always perform a thorough inspection to identify the best possible way to affix it to your structure. All it takes to learn more about the many benefits of EPDM roofing is a call to (312) 439-0556 or filling out our helpful Contact form to have an expert get back to you as soon as possible.

After you’ve discussed your roofing needs with one of Roofing by Hernandez experts, and scheduled a time for our professional estimator to visit for an inspection and estimate, we’ll arrive promptly for the in-depth look at your roofing and provide you with a clear and fully-explained estimate for our recommended service. This will include the preferred method of installing the EPDM roofing to your particular structure. We’ll explain both methods and why we chose the one we did at that time – be it fully adhered or mechanically attached. We’ll never go forward without you being 100% clear about what’s going to take place on your property. Again, we make roofing easier, not more time-consuming.

When the day arrives for your new EPDM roofing installation or simple EPDM repair, our crew will be there on time and ready to set to work. They’ll proceed with clear and obvious expertise and a respect for you and your property not commonly found in Chicago roofing. Great care will be taken to handle the work with minimal intrusion and maximum effectiveness and, as always, you’ll be completely informed as to the work underway and never be left in the dark while we’re on your property. After all, your satisfaction is everything to us and we won’t leave until you’re happy – guaranteed.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-up roofing, or more commonly known as tar & gravel roofing, is one of the oldest roofing systems still in use around Chicago and for good reason. It does a good job and is hard to beat for specific commercial applications. It’s inexpensive and its layering gives it exceptional water resistance when installed correctly. And, that’s the key to BUR roofing – it has to be installed by professionals who understand the materials. Otherwise, it could end up being nothing more than a consistent headache due to leaks and incessant repairs. That’s why, if you plan on using BUR on your property, you need the experts from Roofing by Hernandez on the job. We make roofing easy with one call (312) 439-0556.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen, or mod bit, roofing is a unique mixture of traditional and modern materials. It fuses the traditional asphalt roofing material with polyester or fiberglass to produce a material that’s light, strong, and incredibly durable. By using a layering method during application, the roofing installed will be strong, puncture resistant, and capable of standing up to the worst weather Chicago has to offer. And, because of the nature of the materials used, the roofing can be complex and intricate without lessening the effectiveness of the material. It’s perfect for industrial and commercial applications and costs less than you might think. You won’t know until you call (312) 439-0556 and speak with the pros at Roofing by Hernandez.

Roofing by Hernandez is a certified installer of GAF materials – including their unbeatable shingles. We recommend these incredibly durable shingles to each of our clients – as well as similar products from Owens Corning. We maintain a close relationship with both manufacturers and our certification means we can pass on their manufacturer’s warranty after installation. And, that’s on top of our own satisfaction guarantee which comes with all of our roofing work, so you have absolutely nothing to lose by calling (312) 439-0556 today to work with the best shingle roofer in all Chicagoland. One call is all it takes to start planning your new shingle roof with the best in the business!

Single-Ply Roofing

When you think about single-ply roofing, you’re actually thinking about two separate groups of materials – thermosets and thermoplastics. Both of these systems are sheet-based and perfect for large roofing projects where durability and UV-resistance are important factors. These sheets come in large sizes which eliminates the need for so many seams to be open to the elements. All single-ply systems have been manufactured with ingredients included to help combat ultraviolet radiation and do a great job at standing up to abuse from the environment. This system is ideal for handling large industrial concerns and our team can have them installed with skill and precision in no time. Call (312) 439-0556 to start the process to your new single-ply roofing system.

TPO & PVC Roofing

Roofing by Hernandez is the Chicago region’s #1 roofing company for installing, repairing, and maintaining TPO & PVC roofing systems. These systems represent the best way on the market to handle second generation roofing applications due to their light weight and flexibility and can stand up to abuse better than just about any other material on the market. These materials are extremely temperamental during installation, so you need the very best roofer you can get to handle the installation and repair work. Otherwise, the strengths of these systems become a weakness due to the possibility of moisture invading the system. In short, you need experts who know the material inside and out to be sure you’re getting a properly installed roof. Call (312) 439-0556 today to learn more about TPO & PVC options for your residential or commercial property.

Sheet Metal Roofing

When you’re looking to add some real distinction to your property, there are few things that can add more drama and aesthetic value than a sheet metal roof. Though they can be more expensive than other options, there’s real value for the money when you consider the lifespan and appearance of the structure after the rooftop is completed. Roofing by Hernandez has the talent, the techniques, and the tools required to fabricate, install, and repair any sheet metal roof you could possibly dream up – even custom work. With a wide range of colors and metals to choose from, call the pros at (312) 439-0556 to speak with a team member about your property’s metal roofing. We make roofing that easy.

Fluid Applied Membranes

Whether you have an industrial, institutional, or commercial enterprise, or whether you own a three-flat residential building, there’s no better way to protect your property from the damages caused by moisture than a fluid-applied roof membrane properly applied by the experts from Roofing by Hernandez. This cold-applied fluid hardens to create an effective moisture barrier between the elements and your actual roofing material. This makes it the ideal way to “reroof” before the season turns and give your property that extra layer of protection it needs to make it through the tough months ahead. The costs are far less than a new roof installation and the work can be done with little invasion of your everyday operations. It’s as easy as calling (312) 439-0556 to get an incredibly effective waterproofing material before the weather makes life miserable.

Cool Roof Coatings

Though Chicago is known more for its cold weather than its sunshine and heat, the urban heat zones around the city can reach upwards of 100° during the long hot summers. Those temperatures, depending on where your structure is located, may not come down very much overnight due to the heat island effect caused by so much concrete, so having an expert roofer come to your property for an application of a cool roof coating is just what you need to lower those energy bills and keep your property nice and cool all summer long. Roofing by Hernandez specializes in cool roof coating s wi9th a full range of products to offer for your specific needs. Call (312) 439-0556 today to schedule a visit and get that heat under control.
