Aurora, Illinois boasts remarkable architectural heritage including the nation's largest collection of Prairie School commercial buildings designed by George Grant Elmslie, complemented by structures representing Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Bruce Goff design philosophies scattered throughout this historic community 35 miles west of Chicago. Aurora Superior Commercial Flat Roofing, located at 4426 E New York St, Aurora, IL 60504, has developed specialized expertise protecting these irreplaceable historic structures through sensitive restoration approaches balancing preservation requirements with modern building performance standards and code compliance. With 28 years of experience working on National Register properties and locally designated landmarks, Aurora Superior understands the complex regulatory environment governing historic preservation work including coordination with State Historic Preservation Officers, compliance with Secretary of the Interior Standards, and navigation of local historic district review processes. The company's portfolio includes successful projects on Aurora's iconic Paramount Theatre, a magnificent 1,888-seat performance venue completed in 1931 featuring stunning Art Deco design and ornate plasterwork, the Leland Tower, a 22-story hotel structure completed in 1928 that stood as Illinois's tallest building outside Chicago for decades, and numerous historic commercial blocks throughout downtown Aurora's Stolp Island and surrounding districts representing Italianate, Romanesque Revival, and early 20th-century commercial architectural styles. Historic building roofing presents unique challenges including accommodation of irregular roof geometries, integration with ornamental cornices and parapet details, preservation of decorative metal work and terra cotta elements, and often limited structural capacity restricting options for insulation upgrades or additional rooftop equipment installations.
