Roof Replacement in Milwaukee
Your roof takes the hit from Milwaukee winters—snow load, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles break down shingles and flashing fast. We tear off the old roof and install new, with attention to ventilation and drainage so ice dams don't come back.
What happens during a roof replacement
- We tear off all old shingles, flashing, and decking down to the bare structure.
- We inspect the roof deck and rafters for rot or soft spots common in older Milwaukee homes.
- We install ice-and-water shield along the eaves—critical for stopping ice dam leaks.
- We add proper ventilation if the attic is starved for airflow (common in tight attics).
- We install new underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ridge vents.
- The whole job typically takes 2–3 days depending on roof size and weather.
- We clean up all debris and haul it away.
How we approach your roof replacement
- 01
Inspection and estimate
We walk the roof and attic, check for soft spots, assess drainage, and look at how snow and ice sit on your slopes. We give you a written estimate with no surprises.
- 02
Tear-off
We remove all old shingles, flashing, and any rotten decking. If gutters or fascia need work, we flag it now so you know the full scope.
- 03
Ventilation check
Old Milwaukee homes often have poor attic airflow. We make sure your new roof has proper intake and exhaust vents so heat doesn't build up and cook ice dams back onto your eaves.
- 04
Install new roof
New underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves, shingles, flashing, and ridge vents go down. We seal all penetrations to keep water out.
- 05
Cleanup and final walk
We haul debris, sweep the grounds, and walk through so you see the job done right.
Questions about roof replacement
- Why do I need ice-and-water shield?
- Milwaukee's freeze-thaw cycles and lake-effect snow load push water under shingles at the eaves. Ice-and-water shield sticks down and blocks that water before it gets into your attic and ceiling.
- What if the roof deck is rotten?
- We replace any soft or rotted decking during the tear-off. It costs more upfront but stops the leak and rot from coming back. Skipping it is false economy.
- How long does a roof replacement take?
- Two to three days for most Milwaukee homes, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. We work Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Do you handle gutters and fascia?
- We can look at them during the estimate and recommend repairs. For gutter work and fascia replacement, ask us during your call.
- What's your warranty?
- We warranty our workmanship on all labor and installation. Shingles carry the manufacturer's warranty. We stand behind what we install.
