APEXIUM IN
GERMANTOWN, WI.

The older homes near the original village center carry the issues you expect from pre-war construction: board sheathing, layered roofs, and flashing details that predate modern practice. The newer subdivisions out toward the county line are simple, well-framed roofs that mostly need materials and ventilation done properly. We quote them very differently, and a contractor who treats every Germantown house the same is not really looking.

Germantown also sits with more open exposure than the communities closer to the lake. Less tree shelter means more direct wind loading across open subdivisions, and wind damage here tends to show up along rake edges and at ridge caps rather than in the field. After a wind event, those are the first two places we check.
