NEED A ROOFER
IN WAUWATOSA?

Yes, through the City of Wauwatosa. Work in and around the historic districts near Hart Park and the Village gets additional attention, and we handle that process rather than leaving it to you.

The details are often original and worth keeping. Homes in the historic districts near Hart Park and the Village have slate accents, copper flashing and decorative ridge caps that homeowners rightly want preserved. We do not rip out what is working to keep the job simple. When a 1928 Colonial has copper valleys still sound, we leave them and work around them.

The valley holds fog and damp longer than the higher ground, so homes close to it tend to run damper attics and show algae on north slopes sooner. Ventilation has to actually function there rather than just exist on paper.

Many are 8/12 or steeper, which means harnesses, roof jacks and slower staging. Labour costs more per square foot than on a low-slope ranch, though the steep pitch sheds water well so the field of the roof tends to outlast flatter ones.

Often, and where an exact match is not available we will tell you before you commit rather than after. On a visible elevation in a historic district, a modern product that reads wrong is a problem you live with for thirty years.

More than the same square footage on a ranch, because of pitch and detail. Most Tosa homes run $11,000 to $22,000 depending on size, number of dormers and whether any slate or copper work is involved. We itemise it.
