Roofs Built for Chicago's Weather Conditions

Chicago roofs have to handle just about everything North American weather can throw at them. With lake-effect snow, sub-zero wind chills, ice damming on the city’s older flat and low-slope roofs, the way a roof is built and installed makes a massive difference in how it performs.

Every system we install is put together with these realities in mind:

  • Materials selected for hail, wind, and freeze-thaw performance
  • Installation methods designed to prevent leaks and premature failure
  • Proper ventilation, ice and water shield, and detail flashing
  • Solutions that fit both storm restoration and planned replacement
  • Workmanship aligned with manufacturer specs and Chicago building codes

When you work with Apex General Contracting, you’re not just getting a finished job — you’re getting a roofing system built to perform through everything a Chicago year throws at it.
