Restoring Strength, Preserving Heritage: Your Bowstring Truss Experts

BOWSTRING TRUSS ROOF REPAIRS AND REINFORCEMENT

A bowstring truss roof is a complex structural system that requires specialized inspections, reinforcement, and repair. Traditional roofing contractors are not equipped or trained to understand how to address damage or structural problems with truss roofing systems. The Chicago wind and weather can take a toll on truss roofs, causing wear and tear and damage. To prevent roofing failure, you must schedule regular roofing inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety, structural stability, and longevity of a truss roofing system.

We specialize in inspections, maintenance, repair, and reinforcement, as well as emergency shoring services. We can help you protect your roof from heavy storms, high winds, and wear and tear.
