Wayfair, the e-commerce home decor giant, ventured into physical retail with a new flagship store opening this past Spring near Chicago, Ill.

Housed in a renovated building, the store spans 14,121 m2 (152,000 sf), offering interactive experiences across 19 departments. Preservation Roofing Services handled the complex roof replacement, featuring Carlisle’s Sure-Flex PVC[2] membrane and intricate tapered insulation to ensure proper drainage.
