Commercial Roofing Contractor in Chicago, IL

Metalmaster Roofmaster has installed commercial roofing and architectural sheet metal on some of Chicago’s most recognizable buildings, including Willis Tower, the Navy Pier hotel, Soldier Field, and Saint Laurent. For 49 years we have worked downtown high-rises, hospitality properties, and public venues where the roof and the facade both have to perform and hold up to scrutiny. If you are a general contractor building a bid list, a developer managing a downtown asset, or a facility manager responsible for a landmark property, our Chicago project history is the proof, not a claim.

Why MMRM in Chicago

Chicago work has its own set of demands: union labor requirements, tight downtown site logistics, landmark and historic-district review, and building envelopes where the roof and the exterior sheet metal are inseparable design elements. Here is what we bring to that environment.

• Union signatory contractor. MMRM performs Chicago work with its own union crews, signatory to Local 11, Local 73, and Local 265.
• Self-performing crews. We do not broker our core scopes to subcontractors. The crew that bids the job installs it, which matters on a downtown site where schedule and access windows are unforgiving.
• Architectural sheet metal for landmark facades. Willis Tower, the Navy Pier hotel, Soldier Field, and Saint Laurent all required custom architectural metal work, not standard roofing alone. That is where MMRM’s 100,000 sq ft fabrication shop earns its keep.
• Safety record that survives a GC’s prequalification review. Our EMR is 0.66, well below the industry benchmark of 1.0. On a downtown site with multiple trades and tight logistics, that number is part of the bid, not an afterthought.

Commercial roofing services for Chicago buildings

MMRM installs, replaces, and maintains every major commercial roofing system, plus the architectural sheet metal that finishes a downtown building envelope. Chicago projects typically call for one or more of the following:

• Commercial roof installation and replacement (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen)
• Commercial metal and standing seam roofing
• Metal wall panels and aluminum composite material (ACM) for landmark and high-rise facades
• Metal fabrication out of our McHenry shop
• Roof maintenance and 24/7 emergency service for buildings that cannot afford roof downtime

Chicago commercial roofing FAQ

Is Metalmaster Roofmaster a union contractor in Chicago?

Yes. MMRM is signatory to Local 11, Local 73, and Local 265, and self-performs Chicago commercial work with its own union crews.

How does MMRM handle downtown Chicago site logistics?

Downtown Chicago sites come with limited staging area, restricted crane and material-hoist windows, street-use permitting, and coordination with building management and other trades. Our project history on buildings like Willis Tower and the Navy Pier hotel means our crews and project managers have already worked through those constraints and plan for them at bid stage, not after mobilization.

Does MMRM do landmark or historic-building roofing and architectural metal work?

Yes. Landmark and high-profile buildings often require custom-fabricated architectural sheet metal rather than standard roofing components. MMRM’s fabrication shop and project history, including work on Soldier Field and Saint Laurent, cover that scope alongside the roofing system itself.
