Roofing Services in Irving Park, Chicago

Irving Park is really two roofing neighborhoods. Old Irving Park contains a concentration of large 1880s to 1900s Victorian and Queen Anne homes with steep pitches, turrets, cross gables, dormers and extensive decorative detail - some of the most complex residential roofs on the Northwest Side. The rest of the community area is largely bungalow belt and two-flat stock: shallow hipped roofs with wide eaves, and low-slope roofs behind parapets. Frame cottages and mid-century infill fill in around both.

On the Old Irving Park Victorians, the work concentrates on valley detailing, dormer and turret flashing, and masonry chimney counterflashing cut into aging mortar - these roofs have a great deal of flashing linear footage and that is where they fail. On the bungalow blocks it is the familiar finished-attic ventilation and ice dam pattern. The two-flats bring standard parapet and membrane termination work.
