About
Founded in 1968 and now in its third generation of family ownership, Nicholas Flat Roofing & Paving PLLC brings over five decades of continuous commercial and industrial flat roofing experience to the Chicago metro market. For facility managers and property owners overseeing commercial assets across Chicago's diverse neighborhoods — from Logan Square and Portage Park to Schaumburg and Elk Grove Village — Nicholas offers a focused flat-roof specialty that directly addresses the punishing freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation of the Midwest. The company holds active licensing, bonding, and insurance, providing the compliance documentation that risk-conscious facility managers require before awarding contracts. Core commercial roofing services include roof overlays and reroofs (a cost-effective alternative to full tear-off that preserves labor budget), silicone roof coatings to extend membrane life and improve reflectivity, targeted roof patching for minor membrane breaches, and full roof replacement with complete tear-off of degraded substrates. These services align well with the low-slope and flat-roof systems common to Chicago's industrial, warehouse, retail, and mixed-use building stock — including EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, TPO, and coating-based restoration systems. Emergency roofing response is listed among their service offerings, a critical capability for property managers managing leak events in occupied commercial or multifamily buildings. The paving division — covering parking lot installation, asphalt maintenance, and sealcoating with striping — makes Nicholas a practical single-source vendor for exterior envelope and hardscape needs, reducing the vendor management burden for facility teams. Client testimonials highlight competitive pricing, on-schedule project completion, and direct owner involvement on job sites — factors that matter when coordinating access windows in active commercial facilities. Facility managers evaluating flat-roof contractors in the greater Chicago area will find Nicholas Flat Roofing & Paving a regionally rooted, multi-generational specialist with a documented commercial-only focus.
