What we actually find on roofs here

The full range, from pre-1900 duplexes on the near side to post-war ranches on the outer edges.

Completed asphalt shingle replacement on a cream brick post-war ranch in Milwaukee, with new drip edge, gutter and pipe boot
Completed by RafterCore Roofing A post-war Milwaukee ranch, finished This is the most common house we work on in the city — a cream brick ranch with a shallow gable, roughly a 4/12 pitch, and a single simple plane front and back. Straightforward to price and quick to turn around: new architectural shingles, new drip edge, new gutter, and the pipe boot replaced rather than reused, which is where these roofs usually start leaking first.

The roofs that era produced

Flat and low-slope is much more common here than in the suburbs, particularly on duplexes and the older commercial-residential stock. Those need membrane, not shingles.

What fails most often in Milwaukee

Low-slope sections detailed with shingles. Asphalt shingles need pitch to shed water and they will not do it on a 2/12 porch roof or a flat rear addition, no matter how neatly they are laid.

What this means for your quote

If your roof has a flat or low-slope section, that part is priced as membrane separately. Any quote that shingles the whole thing at one rate has not looked properly.

How a Milwaukee inspection works

  1. We measure before we visit. Your roof is measured from satellite imagery, county records and lidar, cross checked against each other, so the geometry is settled before anyone arrives.
  2. We look at the whole roof. Around forty five minutes. The field, every penetration, the flashing detail, and the attic where we can reach it.
  3. You get a written scope. Every material named with the coverage it is priced from, plus a per-sheet price for decking so nothing becomes a surprise.
  4. You decide. The quote is good for thirty days. Nobody sits in your kitchen waiting for a signature.
