Matthews Roofing

Protecting your commercial property in Chicago requires a proactive approach to your roof's health. As your largest single depreciating asset, a well-maintained roof is essential for business continuity, energy efficiency, and protecting your interior assets. Our comprehensive commercial roof maintenance programs are designed to identify both obvious and hidden threats to your flat or low-slope roof system's performance and integrity.

Our certified technicians conduct detailed infrared scans and visual inspections to pinpoint moisture intrusion, seam failures, and wear long before they cause costly interior damage or require a full replacement. We then provide clear, prioritized recommendations. For many roofs, a targeted restoration using advanced coatings from partners like Gaco or Lucas Coatings can extend its life by 10-15 years at a fraction of replacement cost. This process involves thorough cleaning, repairing all flaws, and applying a seamless, reflective membrane that enhances waterproofing and energy efficiency.

Matthews Roofing is the preferred choice for corporate, institutional, and management clients across Chicagoland because we treat your roof as an investment. Our systematic approach, backed by nearly a century of expertise, ensures your roof performs reliably, saving you money and headaches for years to come.

Your home in Chicago deserves a roof that provides security, comfort, and curb appeal. Whether you're dealing with storm damage, persistent leaks, or simply planning for an upgrade, Matthews Roofing brings the same professional standards from our large-scale commercial projects to your residence. We specialize in both urgent repairs to stop damage in its tracks and complete replacements that enhance your home's value and protection.

We work with a wide range of steep-slope roofing systems to match your home's architecture and your personal preferences. This includes durable asphalt shingles, long-lasting metal roofs, classic clay and concrete tile, elegant slate, and authentic wood shake. Our process begins with a thorough, no-obligation inspection where we assess the condition of your decking, flashing, vents, and existing materials. We then guide you through material options, warranty details, and project timelines with complete transparency.

Choosing Matthews Roofing means your project is handled by seasoned professionals, not a temporary crew. We pride ourselves on meticulous installation, impeccable site cleanliness, and clear communication from estimate to completion. As a family-owned local business, your satisfaction is our reputation, and we stand behind every shingle we install.

For industrial facilities, warehouses, and large commercial buildings in Chicago, a full roof replacement is often a massive capital expense. Our advanced roof coating systems provide a sophisticated, cost-effective alternative that restores waterproofing integrity and improves thermal performance. As a leader in roof coating innovation, Matthews Roofing partners with industry-leading suppliers like ER Systems, 838 Coatings, Gaco, and Lucas to offer the best possible solution for your specific roof type and condition.

A roof coating is a seamless, fluid-applied membrane that cures to form a continuous, elastic shield over your existing roof substrate. It's ideal for modified bitumen, single-ply (TPO, PVC, EPDM), metal, and built-up roofs. The benefits are substantial: it seals leaks and seams, reflects UV rays to reduce cooling costs, resists ponding water and chemical exposure, and can extend roof life significantly. Our expert applicators ensure proper surface preparation—the key to coating longevity—and precise application for uniform thickness and coverage.

We help you navigate the choices, from silicone and acrylic to urethane formulations, selecting the coating that matches your budget, performance requirements, and sustainability goals. By choosing our coating service, you minimize disruption, avoid tear-off waste, and gain a high-performance roof system that protects your operation and your bottom line.
