Roofing & Siding in Milwaukee, WI
Cream city brick, two-flats and low-slope back-porch roofs — Milwaukee is old-stock work, mostly staged from the alley.
Get a free quoteMilwaukee's residential fabric is duplexes, Polish flats and bungalows, much of it cream city brick with wood at the gables, dormers and porches. The awkward part is rarely the main roof — it is the low-slope section over the rear porch or the back addition, which needs membrane rather than shingle and which is where most leaks in a two-flat actually start. Attics in the bungalow belt are shallow and warm, so ice damming at the eaves is a recurring winter complaint in Bay View, Riverwest and Sherman Park alike.
Commercial work skews to flat and low-slope: timber-framed warehouses in the Historic Third Ward, corner storefronts with living space above, small industrial units on the near south side.
Two local realities shape the job. Pre-war painted exteriors bring lead-safe working requirements, and properties in designated historic districts face design review before windows or cladding change.

What Milwaukee calls us for
Commercial Roofing
Third Ward warehouses and corner storefronts with tenants above need membrane detailing around parapets, drains and older mechanical curbs.
Residential Roofing
A Milwaukee duplex is usually two roof systems in one — sloped over the main house, low-slope over the rear porch stack.
Windows, Gutters & Doors
Warm shallow attics in the bungalow belt push meltwater to cold eaves, so gutter and ice-barrier detail carries real weight.
