The Chicago Bungalow is a single-story brick or frame home with a pitched hip roof, decorative attic gables, and front-facing dormers. The roof has more transitions and flashing detail per square foot than almost any other residential roof type. We replace bungalow roofs with Owens Corning Duration or Malarkey NEX shingles, install proper ice and water shield, replace dormer step-flashing, and add ridge venting where original venting is inadequate.
Yes. The grand single-family homes along Logan Boulevard, Kedzie, and Palmer Square often have original slate, tile, or terra-cotta roofs with copper valleys and decorative cornice work. We handle slate repair and replacement, copper valley reset, tile replacement, and historic cornice waterproofing. Restoration on these homes is tradesmanship — not standard suburban shingle work.
Logan Square is primarily zip code 60647, which we serve fully. Some southern parts of Logan Square brush against 60622 (Wicker Park) and northern parts against 60618 (Avondale) — we serve those border areas as well.
Yes. Portions of Logan Square fall within the Logan Square Historic District and the City of Chicago has designated certain residential areas as historic. Visible roof changes — especially on the front facade — may require Commission on Chicago Landmarks review. We screen for this before bidding and handle landmark coordination when required. Most asphalt-shingle replacements that match the existing roof color and style are not affected.
Most Chicago Bungalow asphalt shingle replacements complete in one to two days, weather permitting. Bungalows with multiple dormers, decorative gables, or unusual roof transitions may take a third day for proper flashing detail. We pull the Chicago DOB permit, deliver the proper ice and water shield underlayment, and clean the site daily.
