Adept Construction, Inc. installs, repairs, replaces and maintains commercial roofs across DuPage County from offices in Naperville and Downers Grove.

We also put standing-seam metal on commercial buildings and architectural shingle on low-rise offices and multi-family. Illinois roofing license No. 104.011123 (commercial and residential), Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, since 1997.

Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial roof repair
Seam failures, membrane punctures, ponding, flashing and curb leaks, and storm damage on EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen roofs. We locate the leak from the interior stain back to the source, repair the membrane and flashing, and document the repair for your building file. Emergency response for active leaks. City pages: Naperville, Downers Grove.
Commercial roof replacement and re-roofing
Full tear-off to the deck, or a recover over one existing layer where code and the deck allow — we tell you which in writing after a core cut and a moisture survey. New insulation to current energy code, tapered systems to fix ponding, and a manufacturer warranty on the membrane. Our guide to commercial re-roofing cost explains what drives the price.
Commercial roof installation
New construction and additions, from deck inspection through membrane, insulation, flashing and drains, on the builder’s schedule. See roof installation.
Commercial roof maintenance
Twice-yearly inspections (spring, after the hail season starts, and fall, before freeze-up), drain and scupper clearing, seam and flashing checks, and a photo report each visit. A maintained flat roof lasts 20 to 30 years; an unmaintained one fails at the drains in 10 to 15.
Commercial roof inspection
Condition assessments for purchases, lease turnovers, insurance and capital planning, with photos, a moisture survey where warranted, and a remaining-life estimate. Our guide to commercial roof inspection cost explains what an inspection includes.
Storm and hail damage
Hail bruises TPO and EPDM membranes and cracks modified bitumen surfacing; wind lifts flashing and displaces ballast. After a warned storm we inspect, photograph, write the scope your insurer needs and meet the adjuster. See the storm damage page.
Roof coatings
Silicone and acrylic coating systems that extend a sound but aging membrane roof by 10 to 15 years at a fraction of replacement cost — the right call when the deck and insulation are dry and the membrane is simply weathered. Not the right call over wet insulation, which is why the moisture survey comes first.

Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
Nine of ten commercial roofs in the western suburbs are low-slope, so most of what we install is single-ply membrane or modified bitumen. Standing-seam metal covers the rest of the commercial work, and architectural shingle goes on low-rise offices, restaurants and multi-family buildings with pitched roofs.
Single-Ply Membrane (EPDM and TPO)
EPDM rubber and TPO membranes on roofs with a pitch under 2:12 — the system on most commercial buildings in DuPage County. Mechanically fastened or fully adhered, installed over tapered insulation to eliminate ponding, with a manufacturer warranty of 15 to 30 years.
Modified Bitumen, Built-Up and Coatings
Torch- or self-adhered modified bitumen and multi-ply built-up roofing for buildings with heavy foot traffic or many penetrations, and silicone and acrylic coating systems that add 10 to 15 years to a sound membrane roof at a fraction of replacement cost.
Architectural Shingle
Owens Corning architectural shingles on pitched low-rise offices, restaurants, and multi-family and HOA buildings — the same system as residential, specified and warranted for the building.
Composite (Synthetic Slate and Shake)
Molded polymer slate and shake for pitched commercial and institutional buildings where the look matters — churches, clubhouses, office buildings in Hinsdale and Oak Brook — without the weight of slate.

What Commercial Roofing Costs
Commercial roofing is priced per square (100 sq ft) by system, with the biggest variables being tear-off versus recover, the insulation thickness code requires, drain and curb count, and access. A moisture survey before the estimate is what keeps the price from changing after the tear-off. Typical ranges are in our guides to commercial re-roofing cost and commercial roof inspection cost, or request a site visit and written scope.
Commercial Roofing FAQs
Commercial roof replacement is priced per square (100 sq ft) by system — EPDM and TPO membrane, modified bitumen, built-up or shingle — with tear-off versus recover, required insulation thickness, drain and curb count and access as the main variables. Adept Construction provides a written scope after a site visit and moisture survey; typical ranges are in our commercial re-roofing cost guide.
A commercial roof inspection from Adept Construction is free when it leads to a repair or replacement estimate. Stand-alone condition assessments for purchases, leases or capital planning — with photos, a moisture survey and a remaining-life estimate — are quoted by roof size; see our commercial roof inspection cost guide.
Both work in the western suburbs. EPDM (black rubber) is the more established system, handles freeze-thaw well and is the easier repair; TPO (white) reflects summer heat, which lowers cooling cost on air-conditioned buildings, and is heat-welded at the seams. Adept Construction installs both and recommends by building: TPO for occupied, cooled space; EPDM for warehouses and roofs with many penetrations.
A maintained EPDM or TPO roof lasts 20 to 30 years; modified bitumen and built-up roofs 20 to 25; a sound membrane that is coated gains another 10 to 15. The most common early failure on DuPage County commercial roofs is ponding at clogged drains, which is why Adept Construction’s maintenance program clears drains twice a year.
Sometimes. Illinois follows the International Building Code, which allows a recover over one existing roof layer when the deck is sound and the existing insulation is dry. Adept Construction takes a core cut and runs a moisture survey first; if the insulation is wet, the roof is torn off. The written scope says which and why.
Yes. Adept Construction’s commercial maintenance program includes two inspections a year, drain and scupper clearing, seam and flashing checks, minor repairs on the spot and a photo report after each visit, with a maintenance record kept for the building.
Yes. For an active leak, call the nearest office — Downers Grove (630) 964-8708 or Naperville (630) 360-2730. Adept Construction provides emergency repairs within 24 hours and documents the temporary repair for the insurance file.
Usually, when the damage is from a specific storm. Adept Construction inspects, photographs and documents hail and wind damage on membrane and shingle roofs, writes the scope the carrier needs and meets the adjuster on site. See our storm damage page.
Yes — every municipality in the county requires a building permit for commercial roof replacement, and most for commercial roof recovers. Naperville and Downers Grove both require one. Adept Construction pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of the job.
Yes. Adept Construction holds Illinois roofing contractor license No. 104.011123 from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
