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.

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.

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.

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.
