NEED A ROOFER
IN MILWAUKEE?

The Department of Neighborhood Services. City permitting is stricter and slower than the surrounding villages, and re-roofs on two-flats and multi-unit buildings get more scrutiny than single-family work. We pull the permit and deal with DNS so you are not navigating it.

The lake moderates temperature but drives moisture and wind. Homes east of about Oakland Avenue take wind-driven rain horizontally into rake edges and chimney flashing that inland houses never stress, and they hold morning damp longer. Flashing detail matters more the closer you are to the water.

Yes, and the difference is layers. A lot of the near-north and near-south housing stock is on its third or fourth roof over original board sheathing with gaps between the boards. Boards do not hold fasteners like plywood, so we tear to bare deck and tell you what we find before adding cost.

Milwaukee gets hit harder by spring hail than most Wisconsin cities, and it arrives by neighborhood rather than city-wide. If your block had an event, a free inspection is worth the hour, because Wisconsin policies cover sudden hail damage but not age and wear and the filing window is limited.

Yes, and most Milwaukee jobs require it. We stage off the alley where there is one, agree dumpster placement before the day, protect the neighboring property, and magnet-sweep both driveways. On lots this close together that planning is most of the job.

Most homes run $8,500 to $21,000 depending on size and pitch, with a 1,500 square foot ranch at the low end and a 2,500 square foot two-story at the top. Second-layer tear-off adds $1,400 to $2,400 and deck sheets run $70 to $115 each, both quoted before we start.
