NEED A ROOFER
IN SHOREWOOD?

Yes, through the Village of Shorewood, and the village is more particular than most about exterior work given how dense and historic the housing is. We handle it.

Homes east of Oakland, especially near Atwater Beach and along the bluff, take wind off Lake Michigan that drives rain sideways into rake edges, chimney flashing and any detail that relies on gravity. We see flashing failures at rates well above the inland average there, and fastener pattern along the rakes matters more than it does a mile west.

It is a logistics problem rather than a roofing one. Lots are narrow and many homes sit within a few feet of the neighbor. We plan drop zones and dumpster placement before the crew arrives, protect the adjoining property, and sweep both sides.

Steep pitches, original slate or tile on some, dormers, and chimney details built before step flashing was standard. The pitch is actually an advantage for shedding water. The flashing at all those transitions is where the money and the risk are.

Yes, and a fair share of what we do here is multi-unit. The main difference is coordination, because the work affects more than one household, and access from a shared drive needs agreeing in advance.

Yes. Heavy overhead cover keeps north-facing slopes wet for days after rain that would dry in hours on an open lot, and the valleys pack with leaf litter each autumn. That sustained damp is what drives the dark algae streaking you see across that part of the village.
