As the suburb grew, commerce and industry were encouraged and the place is not purely a “dormitory” town. Amongst others, the Home Run Inn frozen pizzas are made there and the village is headquarters to the Pabst Brewing Company.

Is A Business Roof Different From A Residential Roof?

Companies that construct new roofs and/or inspect, maintain and repair old ones make a differentiation between the two but, in many cases they are mainly referring to the size of a project and who will be paying for it. For example, is there much difference between the roof of a small hotel and that of a large residence? The most obvious differences come in when you look at the likes of factories and warehouses. Also, there are probably more flat roofed business buildings than flat roofed residences.

In all cases, roof shape and design are somewhat governed by the architect’s concept for the total building and roof materials are, by and large, interchangeable between business and residential structures. Sheet metal and plastic sheetings have long been popular for the roofs over business establishments but even these materials are gaining domestic popularity on account of their durability.

The split between business and residential roofs is further muddied because the likes of school buildings, hospitals and churches, etc are likely to fall under the scope of commercial roofing For Woodridge IL (in the eyes of the involved contractors at least).

Repair And Maintenance

This is where the differentiation is more marked. The roofs over business establishments are more likely to have pipes and cables inserted through them as well as various pieces of equipment mounted on them (such as air conditioning plant). All of which will require additional maintenance resources.
