APEXIUM IN
PEWAUKEE, WI.

The older homes near the lake have usually grown in stages, and every stage brought a new roof plane at a slightly different pitch tied into the last one. Those tie-ins are the weak points, and on houses that have been added onto three times over eighty years we sometimes find flashing that was never correct to begin with. We open up the transitions before quoting rather than pricing from the ground.

Exposure matters here too. Homes with open sightlines to the water take wind loading that sheltered inland houses do not, which means we pay closer attention to edge detail, starter course adhesion, and fastener pattern along rake edges. A shingle rated to 130 MPH only performs that way if it is nailed the way the manufacturer specifies.
