Wood Shake Roof Installation Services in Milwaukee, WI
Wood Shake Roof Installation in Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee's harsh winters and heavy rains challenge wood shake roofs. Poor installation leads to leaks, ice dams, and early rot. Local property owners face high repair costs from wind damage and moisture buildup.
Our team handles these issues with proven methods. We install Western Red Cedar shakes, which resist decay and hold up in Wisconsin weather. Each project starts with a thorough roof assessment to identify underlayment needs and structural concerns.
Our Installation Process
- Inspect existing roof for damage and ensure proper ventilation.
- Install ice and water shield in valleys and eaves for leak protection.
- Lay cedar shakes in a fanning pattern with 5/8-inch exposure for water shedding.
- Secure with stainless steel nails to meet local wind codes.
- Perform final walk-through and clean up debris daily.
Projects finish in 3-5 days for most homes, minimizing disruption. We provide a 40-year limited warranty on materials and 10-year workmanship guarantee. This covers defects from installation errors.
Wood shakes add natural curb appeal and insulation value to Milwaukee homes. They outperform asphalt in longevity when installed correctly.
