Discover the protection of the Weather Stopper™ Integrated Roofing System by GAF-Elk.
Roofing that protects your home
Ice and water shielding
Imagine a ribbon of rubber 3 feet wide and 9 miles long, stretching from the southern edge of New Berlin to the northern edge of Brookfield. That is how much ice and water shield we used last year to give our residential roofing customers the protection they deserve!
Ice and water shield has the ability to seal around the nails that penetrate through it, so water can't follow the nail through the decking down into your house. We install ice and water shield above the gutterline, in valleys, around chimneys, on low slope areas, and anywhere that your roof has a history of ice formation. We believe in multiple layers of protection for your home's roof.
Ventilation
We also assess the ventilation of your roof and customize a venting solution based on your home's unique architecture. Studies show that a well-vented roof has benefits in both the warm summer and cold winter, so we use continous ridge vents, power ventilators, more static vents, and other means to help your roof breathe. We feel the combination of more venting and liberal use of ice water shield gives you what you want: a well protected home.
Proper installation
All shingles are nailed in place by skilled installers whether architectural (dimensional) or 3-tab shingles; they are nailed in neat orderly rows, and nailed in the proper locations on the shingle. Not every company can boast of all lead installers having 20 years of experience, but we can. No aggravating nail pops, crooked rows, or skipped nails are part of our installations.
Your home and property is carefully protected during the installation of your new roof. We re-cover the exposed surfaces immediately after tearing off, usually installing your new shingles right away. We rarely cover with tarps and we never leave your home exposed to the elements between work days.
We worry about your lawn and gardens so that you don't have to. Removed materials are deposited directly in to a dumpster or temporarily collected on tarps for quick and clean removal.
A sound investment
A protected home remains a beautiful home. Your new roof will not only complement and enhance the beauty of your home, it will also provide the first layer of defense from the elements for many years to come.
