Trusted spray foam roofing & insulation services for Chicago, IL property owners. Licensed, insured, and backed by manufacturer warranties.
Professional roofing, coating, and insulation services for Chicago property owners and facility managers.
Complete roof restoration with spray foam and protective coatings that add 20 or more years of life to your existing roof — without the cost, waste, and disruption of a full tear-off and replacement.
Our commercial restoration process preserves your existing roof structure, adds insulation value, and applies a warranted waterproof coating system — saving 50 to 70 percent versus tear-off and replacement on buildings of any size.
Elastomeric coatings for standing seam, corrugated, and R-panel metal roofs. We seal rust spots, failing fasteners, open seams, and ridge caps — stopping leaks and adding reflective energy savings in a single application.
Spray foam roofs are built to last, but they do need occasional repair. Our crews fix bird pecks, foot traffic damage, hail impacts, and coating wear — extending the life of your SPF system without a costly full recoat.
Extend the life of your existing roof by 15 to 20 years with a silicone coating that seals every seam, reflects solar heat, and handles ponding water without softening or deteriorating. Professional application with manufacturer warranty.
Seamless waterproofing membranes applied over existing roof surfaces to eliminate leaks and ponding water permanently. Our spray-applied systems conform to every detail and create a monolithic barrier with no seams to fail.
When restoration is not enough, our crews perform complete roof tear-off and replacement with modern spray foam roofing systems. Full deck inspection, substrate repair, SPF application, and protective coating — all warranted.
Flat roofs fail at seams, flashings, and penetrations. Our crews specialize in diagnosing and repairing these critical failure points using spray foam, liquid-applied membranes, and targeted coating systems that outlast conventional patch repairs.
Preventive roof maintenance programs with scheduled inspections, drain cleaning, minor repairs, and detailed photo-documented condition reports. Catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
Pre-purchase, post-storm, or routine maintenance — our inspection reports give you the data you need to make informed decisions about your roof. Infrared moisture scans reveal trapped water invisible from the surface.
Hail, wind, and debris damage demand immediate attention and thorough documentation. Our crews respond quickly, document all damage with photos and measurements that satisfy insurance adjusters, and restore your roof completely.
Roof leaks get worse with every rain. Our crews respond fast, identify the exact source using infrared and moisture mapping, and apply permanent repairs using spray foam and coating systems designed for long-term performance.
Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam attic insulation that eliminates air infiltration and creates a continuous thermal barrier from ridge to eave. Most projects completed in a single day with immediate comfort improvement.
Complete SPF roof systems for commercial and residential buildings. Our factory-trained crews apply closed-cell foam directly to your roof deck, creating a monolithic waterproof membrane that eliminates seams, joints, and the leak points they create.
Spray foam insulation for crawl space walls, rim joists, and band boards that eliminates moisture, cold floors, and musty odors. Closed-cell foam acts as both insulation and vapor barrier in a single application.

Here is what sets Lapolla Industries apart from other contractors in Chicago.
Lapolla Industries has been at the forefront of spray polyurethane foam technology since 2003 — with deep roots in SPF manufacturing and application that few competitors can match.

SPF roofing delivers the highest R-value per inch of any commercial insulation. Our customers typically see 20 to 40 percent reductions in heating and cooling costs after installation.
Unlike conventional roofing with seams, joints, and fasteners, spray foam creates a monolithic membrane with zero penetration points — eliminating the most common sources of roof leaks.
Our crews live and work in the communities we serve. We understand local building codes, climate conditions, and the best SPF systems for your specific region.
Have questions about spray foam in Chicago? We have answers.
Spray foam is one of the best solutions for flat and low-slope roofs in Chicago. The seamless application eliminates the seams and joints where conventional flat roof systems fail. SPF also self-levels to eliminate ponding water — one of the biggest causes of flat roof leaks and premature failure.
Yes. Spray foam roofing provides the highest R-value per inch of any commercial roofing insulation — typically R-6.5 per inch. In Chicago, this translates to significant cooling and heating savings because the seamless membrane eliminates air infiltration that accounts for up to 40 percent of energy loss in conventional roofs.
Spray foam insulation costs in Chicago typically range from $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot for open-cell and $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot for closed-cell. The exact price depends on the area being insulated, foam thickness, and accessibility. Most Chicago homeowners see a full return on investment through energy savings within 3 to 5 years.
If your commercial roof in Chicago is structurally sound but showing surface deterioration — cracked coatings, minor leaks, UV damage — restoration with SPF and a new coating system is likely the better investment. If there is widespread substrate damage, saturated insulation, or structural concerns, full replacement may be necessary. Our inspection will determine which option is right.
Closed-cell foam is denser, provides a higher R-value per inch (R-6.5 vs R-3.7), and acts as a vapor and moisture barrier. Open-cell foam is lighter, more flexible, and more affordable. For roofing applications in Chicago we typically recommend closed-cell for its waterproofing properties. For interior wall insulation, either type may be appropriate.
Absolutely. SPF roofing performs exceptionally in both extremes because the closed-cell foam provides continuous insulation without thermal bridging. In hot Chicago summers, the reflective coating reduces surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees. In winter, the insulation value keeps conditioned air inside.
Honest feedback from property owners who trusted Lapolla Industries with their spray foam projects.
"Called about a ceiling stain that kept growing. They got on the roof, found the leak source at a HVAC curb penetration, and had it sealed within hours. Professional, fast, and the price was exactly what they quoted."
"We needed our concrete roof deck waterproofed before installing new equipment on it. The crew applied a monolithic membrane that handles foot traffic and ponding water. Two years in and zero issues. Money well spent."
"Regular maintenance visits twice a year keep our flat roof in great shape. They clean drains, check seams, inspect all penetrations, and send a detailed report with photos. Good preventive program at a reasonable cost."
