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 roofing customers the protection they need!
Ice and water shield seals 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 customize a venting solution based on your home's unique architecture. Studies show that a well-vented roof has benefits in both the warm summers and cold winters of Milwaukee, so we use continous ridge vents, power ventilators, static vents, or other means to help your roof breathe. The combination of correct venting and liberal use of ice water shield gives you a well protected home.
Proper installation
Our shingles are nailed in place by skilled installers, whether architectural (dimensional) or 3-tab shingles, in neat orderly rows in the proper locations on the shingle. Not every company can boast of all lead installers having 20 years of experience with the knowledge to properly protect your home against Milwaukee's weather extremes, but we can. No aggravating nail pops, crooked rows, or skipped nails are part of our installations.
Your home and property are carefully protected during the installation of your new roof. We re-cover exposed surfaces immediately after tearing off, usually installing your new roofing right away. We rarely cover with tarps and we never leave your home exposed to the elements between work days. We know how Milwaukee weather can change quickly - we always prepare as we work on your home.
We worry about your lawn and gardens so that you don't have to. Removed materials are deposited directly into 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. Whether your home is in Waukesha's lake country or in the urban areas of Milwaukee, you'll enjoy your sound investment for years to come.
