Orland Park Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Orland Park, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Cook County southwest suburbs. A great many houses here are two roofs at once. The main asphalt planes, and then a low-slope membrane over a rear addition, a porch or the connector to the garage. That membrane has its own life and belongs on its own line.
Guessing is most expensive on low slope because the layers are hidden and the fall is minimal to begin with. We open a test square before pricing a replacement, so the layers, the insulation, its thickness and its moisture are measured rather than assumed. Layer count matters most. Two existing layers on a low-slope deck usually means a tear-off rather than a recover, and that changes the number materially.
Specification follows what the cut shows. For a house addition the reliable answer is sixty-mil TPO glued down over a rigid cover board. Where people walk the roof regularly, two plies of SBS modified bitumen wear far better. Tapered polyisocyanurate with saddles set behind curbs and chimneys is what turns standing water from a yearly complaint into a solved detail. A core cut takes ten minutes and is patched properly before we leave the roof that day.
Ponding turns a good membrane into a bad roof, and on these additions it usually comes from the same mistake: the fall runs back toward the house instead of away from it. Nothing sold in a roll rescues that. The honest fix is a tapered layout with relocated outlets and a proper scupper, not another coat brushed over the last one. Cut the roof before you quote it.
Where the steep roof meets the flat one is where most of these leak. Run the sheet up the wall and finish it in a groove or beneath counter flashing, lap the shingle courses over it in the correct sequence, and fit a diverter where the wall stops. Seams held by cement alone come apart on a timetable. Drainage decides more than membrane choice does.
Low-slope edges attract attention here too. A membrane terminated with a loose bar or an unsecured coping gives something a lip to work at, and once the perimeter is lifted the whole sheet is exposed to wind. We fix termination bars on a documented spacing and seal beneath the coping rather than relying on the fascia cover to hold it down.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — rigid externally baffled ridge vent fastened at the tightened published schedule, quarter-inch galvanized hardware cloth set behind the vented soffit run, aluminum soffit panels screwed to solid sub-fascia instead of snapped into J-channel, boxed gable returns closed with a sealed cornice block at the rake terminus, stainless chimney cap with a screened surround sized to the flue opening, cast lead pipe collars in place of molded rubber vent boots — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Orland Park and nearby communities including Tinley Park, Orland Hills, Homer Glen, Palos Heights.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with rigid externally baffled ridge vent fastened at the tightened published schedule, quarter-inch galvanized hardware cloth set behind the vented soffit run, aluminum soffit panels screwed to solid sub-fascia instead of snapped into J-channel, boxed gable returns closed with a sealed cornice block at the rake terminus, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Orland Park job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Cook County southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Orland Park Chooses Orland Park Roof Pros
- ✓We price the perimeter as its own section of the bid, because on an Orland Park house the ridge, soffit, rake and gable return are where the roof actually fails first.
- ✓Ridge vent is specified by type and fastener spacing rather than by the foot, and we will explain in writing why we do not put soft rolled matting on houses this close to the preserve.
- ✓Every inspection includes an occupancy check, and if something is living up there the wildlife operator goes first and we take the delay.
- ✓Soffit panels get screwed to solid wood with hardware cloth behind the vented sections, instead of being snapped back into the same J-channel that failed.
