TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Winnetka low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Lightweight tile gives Winnetka owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
Older Winnetka buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. As a rule, most roof coverings in Winnetka fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their working life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Housing stock in Winnetka runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.
