Deerfield IL Commercial Roofing And Siding Service Offers Superior Results

By Darcy Selvidge


Updating a structure's exterior is a great way to improve its looks and give it a new level of protection from elemental damage. A Deerfield IL commercial roofing and siding contractor offers many options to upgrade features such as windows, soffits, gutters, fascias, and more.

Customers can select from several types of roofing systems. For low-slope roofing, single-ply membranes can be obtained as thermoplastic or thermoset. Polymer-modified bitumen sheet membranes are also available. Steep-slope roofing can be upgraded with traditional asphalt shingles or architectural-style laminated asphalt fiberglass shingles.

Contractors often have several different style choices. There are multiple color options in the galvanized S-tiles used on steep metal roofs. Heavyweight asphalt fiberglass shingles, wood shakes, and other synthetic products are also available.

Customers also have many options in exterior facades. In North America, the most common choice is vinyl.

Though it is affordable and has low maintenance needs, vinyl does tend to fade a little over time. Thanks to modern innovations, it does retain original color longer.

Fiber-cement mimics textured patterns, such as stucco, wood shakes and shingles, and other textured materials. Depending on the manufacturer, fiber-cement can carry up to a 50-year warranty. More durable than wood, it offers many advantages. Termite- and water-resistant, it's also non-combustible.

If given proper maintenance, facades that are timber based have the ability to outlast synthetic ones. These come in a multitude of styles, including novelty, traditional, log, shakes, clapboard, shiplap, and shingles. Hardwood is a classic option, and products engineered from wooden by-products can be found in either boards or sheets with the appearance of natural grains, which looks more authentic than vinyl or aluminum.

Recognized as a durable alternative to wood in the building boom that followed World War II, aluminum endures as a natural siding choice.

Although many improvements such as stronger enamels and finishes have been made to aluminum products, it is losing popularity to vinyl. Reinforced structures like those with agricultural or utilitarian purposes, are largely done with steel. Metal tends to last a long time, is resistant to weather, and affordable.

Engineered stone and simulated brick both add a stylishly authentic look to the facade at an affordable price.

Fiberglass products are a recent exterior protection option that has durable finishes that are four times as thick as paint. They can have the look of real wood, but are more resistant to damage.

Several factors should be considered when choosing the most appropriate types of siding and roofing. Property owners need to determine how durable the roofing and siding systems must be to withstand weather elements and how conveniently they can be repaired or replaced should damage occur.

How well a material works with the structure's architectural style, maintenance costs, and ease of installation, are additional factors to consider. To get reliable advice on what products would best serve one's specific circumstances for facade or roof covering, and affordable services, contact a respected professional contractor.
