Most of our commercial work in Evanston is the kind you would not notice if it was done right — the membrane over the brick mid-rise on Davis Street, the modified-bitumen recover on the auto-body shop on Howard, the multi-million-dollar tapered system on the seven-story apartment block on Hinman. We bid commercial work tight, build it to the spec book, and stand behind it with annual maintenance contracts that almost always extend the system life past the warranty.
Building types we serve
Multi-family (4-unit and up), mixed-use retail, professional and medical office, churches and synagogues, school facilities, light-industrial and warehouse, restaurant and hospitality. We carry the general liability, workers' comp, and umbrella coverage required for downtown Evanston commercial work.
Bidding and project management
We work directly with property managers, building owners, and architects. Every commercial bid is a fixed-price proposal with a defined scope, materials list, schedule, and exclusions. We do not chase change orders — if we missed something on the bid, we eat it.
Maintenance contracts that extend service life
Our standard commercial maintenance contract is two visits per year (spring and fall), a written condition report, free minor repairs up to two labor hours per visit, and priority emergency response. Clients on a maintenance contract see roof service life extend 4 to 7 years on average, and they avoid the surprise five-figure capital expense that comes from neglected drain blockages and seam separation.
What you get with us
- Fixed-price commercial bids with itemized scope

Questions Evanston homeowners ask about commercial.
Do you bid commercial and institutional work?+
Yes. We bid multi-family, mixed-use, and institutional roofing across Evanston and the North Shore. We will provide current insurance certificates and references with every commercial bid.
What is the typical timeline for a commercial bid?+
From walk-through to written proposal is usually 5 to 7 business days for buildings under 25,000 sq ft, 10 to 14 days for larger or more complex roofs.
Can you work after-hours to avoid disrupting tenants?+
Yes. We routinely run evening and weekend crews for occupied retail and medical buildings. Quiet-hours work carries a modest premium that is detailed in the bid.
