Commercial Roofing

Roofs that can’t afford to leak.

A commercial roof failure isn’t a home repair — it’s a stopped production line, a closed classroom, or inventory under a tarp. The cost of the roof is almost never the real number. The cost of the downtime is.

We work on warehouses, churches, schools, retail, and light industrial buildings across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Single-ply membrane, standing seam metal, modified bitumen, and restoration coatings — whichever the building and the budget actually call for.

Most of what we do is scheduled, not emergency. A roof survey tells you how many seasons you have left, what a repair buys versus a replacement, and what to put in next year’s capital plan. Owners who plan roof spend tend to spend less of it.

CHOOSE YOUR SYSTEM

Four ways to cover a building.

The right system depends on the deck, the slope, what’s already up there, and how long you plan to hold the building.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?

Large flat deck, energy costs matter

TPO

Smaller flat roof, easy repairs

EPDM

Existing roof still sound

Restoration Coating

Pitched, long-term hold

Standing Seam Metal

TPO

Heat-welded single-ply with a reflective white surface that cuts cooling load. Our default for large flat decks. Mule-Hide systems.

COST              $$

LIFESPAN      20-30 yrs

BEST FOR      Large flat decks

EXPLORE >
EPDM

Single-ply rubber, proven for decades. Handles freeze-thaw well and repairs cleanly. Mule-Hide systems.

COST             $$

LIFESPAN      20-30 yrs

BEST FOR      Smaller flat roofs

EXPLORE >
Standing Seam Metal

PAC-CLAD panels, concealed fasteners, roll-formed to length. Longest service life we install.

COST             $$$$

LIFESPAN      40-70 yrs

BEST FOR      Pitched · long hold

EXPLORE >
Restoration Coatings

Fluid-applied over a sound existing roof. Extends service life at a fraction of replacement cost, often as a capital expense deferral.

COST             $

LIFESPAN      10-20 yrs

BEST FOR      Deferring replacement

Not sure what’s on your building? A free roof survey tells you the system, the remaining life,
and what it would cost to repair versus replace.

WHY PROPERTY OWNERS HIRE US

Your building keeps operating.

01

Work around your hours

Nights, weekends, and phased sections so the business underneath stays open.

02

No subcontractors

Our own crews, bonded and insured. One point of accountability, not a chain of them.

03

Roof surveys, not sales calls

A photo report on condition and remaining life. Sometimes the answer is that you have four more years.

04

Budget-cycle scheduling

We'll scope and price now for work you plan to fund next fiscal year.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. No surprises in between.

01

Free Inspection

We come to you - assess the damage, document everything with photos, and give you a straight answer before any number is discussed.

02

Written Scope

A detailed itemized quote with materials, timeline and warranty terms in writing. No verbal promises, no surprises.

03

The Work

Daily site photos sent to you directly. You see progress in real time - not just a final reveal when we're done.

04

Warranty & Follow Up

Manufacturer and workmanship warranty on file. A direct line to us - not a call center - if anything ever comes up.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers,
before you call.

Can you work while we stay open?
Yes. Most commercial work we do is phased or scheduled off-hours so the business underneath keeps running.

Repair, restore, or replace?
A survey answers it. If the deck is sound and the membrane has life left, a coating can buy ten years for a fraction of replacement cost.

Do you handle roof warranties and maintenance plans?
Yes. Manufacturer system warranties where the assembly qualifies, plus scheduled inspections to keep them valid.

Are you bonded for public and institutional work?
Yes — licensed, bonded, and insured in both Illinois and Wisconsin. We'll provide certificates on request.

How fast can you get out for a leak?
Emergency response is typically same or next day within our service area.

We are elated about the job they did on our roof! Our roof is beautiful. We have received many compliments on the job they did for us by our neighbors. The clean-up crew was meticulous, professional, and did not even break any of our flowers we have all around our house! Giovani the crew lead, came to our door before starting. Introduced himself, asked if we had any concerns and they finished the same day. Again, the crew Top-Notch (Craftsmen), the folks in the office top-notch! At the end of the job, they came back to do a walk around with us to make sure everything was perfect. P.S Tip Top was very reasonable!!

Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. We had a small gutter repair job, but they treated it as any other large job. Great team of people to work with - from inside getting the job scheduled to the two gentlemen that came to our house. Our 2nd job with them and will definitely use Tip Top Roofing again.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Carey and the entire team at Tip Top Roofing. Carey went above and beyond to help me through the whole process from the initial consultation to signing the work order. I had my entire roof replaced yesterday. The team that did it was fantastic as well. They were able to do my entire roof in one day. The team was very considerate of my property while working. I could not be happier with the results. Please give them a call for all of your roofing needs!

Great prices! Timely work! And an overall quality job! Each time they start a roofing job they would get it finished in one day! I've used Tip Top on numerous properties for over 10 years and have never been dissatisfied. Also have used them for siding and windows and again a great job! I would not even bother looking elsewhere. Updated September 4, 2025: Cannot say enough about Tip Top Roofing and how good their service and quality of work are. Anytime I have any problems they are quick to respond and do an awesome job. All while being very courteous and professional. Thanks again!

Tip Top Roofing replaced our roof after an unfortunate vandalism issue occurred. They were extremely responsive to our initial call, coming to our home within a few hours. They provided the quote for a complete replacement and worked with our insurance company along the way. They completed the work as contracted in a better than estimated time period. The installation crew was careful of surrounding plants and yard furniture and did the entire project in under 5 hours! The roof looks great, with no issues to report. I appreciated the thoughtful follow-up before, during and after the job was completed. They came back a few days later to check for possible nails in yard and any other related debris in the yard and landscaping. Carey was great to communicate with and kept me informed every step of the way. He was there to answer any and all questions we had. We would recommend Tip Top Roofing for your roof project.
