Rogers Park housing & roofing stock
Rogers Park is dense two-flats, three-flats, and greystones, with brick courtyard apartment buildings along Sheridan and Glenwood. The vast majority of roofs are flat or low-slope.
Weather and microclimate
Same lake-effect microclimate as south Evanston. Ice damming on the parapet walls of greystones is a chronic winter issue.
Flat-roof work on greystones
Most Rogers Park roofing is TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen on classic Chicago greystones. The two details that decide whether it lasts are parapet flashing done with through-wall counter-flashing and scuppers set so winter ice cannot back-trap — ask to see both on the scope.
