How do you protect the roof during construction?

We use roof-safe practices, including protective pads under framing and careful load distribution. The goal is to protect the membrane and structure while we build — and to keep drainage and ventilation in mind throughout.

What materials do you recommend for Chicago weather?

We frequently build with high-performance composite decking and select wood species suited for exterior exposure. Material choice depends on sun exposure, maintenance preferences, budget, and the look you want.

How long does a typical rooftop deck project take?

Timelines vary with scope, material lead times, and permitting. After measurements and selections, we’ll outline a realistic schedule in your proposal so you know what to expect from start to finish.

Can you remove and reinstall a deck for a roof replacement?

Yes — detach and reset is a common need in Chicago. We plan the work so your roofing contractor can complete their scope, then we reinstall with proper detailing so the deck performs as it should.

What happens during the first visit?

We walk the space, discuss how you want to use the rooftop, take measurements, and review access and existing conditions. It’s the foundation for a clear layout, material options, and an accurate quote.
