This mast, currently used as a tie for the internet cable, will be relocated and hooked to the fascia to prevent further water intrusion.

Meeting with Larry and his wife, Alicia, in Milwaukee, WI, we assessed their 13-year-old roof, which had developed a leak. Despite noticing a leak spot away from the chimney, we identified the chimney flashing as a significant factor contributing to the issue. Additionally, we observed that the existing gutters were not high-back gutters, which may also be contributing to the problem. Both Larry and Alicia agreed that the gutters were a factor in the leak. Therefore, our final quote includes full gutter replacement, installation of Raindrop gutter guards, and a complete chimney reflash to address the leak and prevent future issues.

Matthew Drobnik, a homeowner in West Allis, WI, initially sought a quote for new gutters but discovered significant issues during our consultation. Purchasing the home 1.5 years ago, Matthew noticed sagging roofs and loose gutters. An attic inspection revealed a poorly executed roofing job dating back to 2017, with missing shingles, tar paper, and damaged decking.

Given these findings, our discussion expanded to encompass a comprehensive roof replacement, including decking. Matthew had already undertaken DIY repairs, including flex-sealing the front rubber roof. Concerned about ice damming, he requested Raindrop gutter protection.

The project scope also involved addressing challenges like sagging gutters and the relocation of downspouts. Due to the proximity of neighboring houses, we implemented additional measures such as hanging tarps for protection. Specific tasks included adding railing labor, removing kickouts and valley controllers, and ensuring proper measurements despite initial challenges with rubber sections.

To address these issues comprehensively, we proposed using IKO Dynasty AR shingles in Atlantic Blue, complemented by new step flashing and chimney flashing. This approach ensures not only aesthetic enhancement but also long-term durability and protection against future roof-related issues.

Vic Kurer from West Allis, WI, discussed several key renovation needs during our meeting at the NARI show in Milwaukee. His current roof, a 3-tab installation from 1999, shows signs of wear and lacks essential components like drip edge, despite no active leaks. However, the roof requires attention due to missing drip edges and general deterioration.

Additionally, Vic expressed interest in integrating two dormer downspouts, securing sagging fascia metal on the rear south side of the first level, and addressing rot issues necessitating redecking for both the house and detached garage. Furthermore, he requested removal and redecking of the chimney brick with additional labor included.

To meet these requirements, we proposed installing IKO Dynasty AR shingles in Brownstone, accompanied by new step flashing. This comprehensive approach will not only enhance the roof's durability but also address structural concerns throughout the property, ensuring a cohesive and reliable renovation solution.

John Demler from West Allis needed a new rubber roof with railing posts installed on his 4,782-square-foot home. The existing roof was leaking by the north side termination bar.

Kyle Freeman from Milwaukee urgently needed to repair his existing roof due to a severe leak spreading through two bedrooms. Earlier this year, a bad windstorm blew off some shingles, and although a previous company had tarped the roof, the problem persisted. Kyle mentioned that the roof is five years old but is now noticing mold and a bad smell, indicating that the leak had likely been ongoing longer than initially thought.

Upon inspection, it was suggested that Kyle check the attic for more damage, as the mold and smell pointed to prolonged water exposure. The roof, which should only have one layer, required immediate attention to prevent further water damage and address the mold issue. Given the urgency, the repair work was prioritized to ensure Kyle's home was protected from additional harm.

Joann Walker from Milwaukee needed new gutters and downspouts for her rental property, which had a leak around the chimney. While the property needed a new roof, her immediate focus was on replacing the gutters and downspouts. The detached garage was also in rough shape. Joann met with our team at her personal residence to discuss the project.

For the first property, we removed and disposed of the existing gutters and downspouts, installing new white 5" aluminum seamless gutters along all eaves, and new white 3x4 downspouts tied into the underground drainage system. At the second property, we installed a 15’ seamless gutter on the detached garage (yard side) with a downspout pitched along the fence, replaced a 20’ gutter on the second level of the driveway side using existing downspouts tied into lower gutters, installed an end cap at the back gutter run on the driveway side, and cleaned, sealed, and reinforced gutters on the remaining house sections. Joann appreciated the thorough approach, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of her properties.

The roof on this home is over 20 years old with only one layer of roofing material. There was previous leaking in the garage, and the current roof consists of a single layer of 3-tab shingles that are about 19-20 years old. The project includes re-flashing two skylights and leaving the gutters as they are. The plan is to install laminated shingles, chimney flashing, skylight flashing, new step flashing, and drip and rake metal. Additionally, a ridge vent will be installed. The total square footage of the roof is 2672 sqft, and the chosen shingle color is IKO Cambridge.

Mr. and Mrs., long-term homeowners who have lived in their house for 47 years, are seeking to replace their 3-tab roof, which was last replaced in 1999. While there are no current leaks, the roof is missing drip edge and is very worn out. They are considering quotes from several companies and are particularly fond of Buck's Lab, expressing interest in potentially adding a puppy to sweeten the deal. The couple, both in their 70s, plan to leave the house to their daughter upon their passing. The project includes a full demo and presentation. Additionally, they have LeafFilter installed, which needs to be removed and reinstalled, and other repairs include tying in two dormer downspouts, securing sagging fascia metal, redecking due to rot, and replacing the detached garage roof. The scope of work involves removing existing roofing to the wood, replacing any rotted or damaged wood with CDX plywood, and installing various components such as ice and water protector, synthetic underlayment, new aluminum drip metal, vent pipe boot flashings, chimney flashing, starter strips, architectural shingles, ridge vent, and hip and ridge cap shingles. The project aims to enhance the roof's durability and longevity for this dedicated homeowner duo.

The homeowner is dealing with a leak in the ceiling of the foyer, directly under a section of the roof where the original attic space was enclosed. The roof, 19 years old, is in rough shape, and a partial replacement is deemed the only option. Due to the leak and the overall condition of the roof, the homeowner received a quote for a full roof replacement, including some extra labor for custom metal bending and the use of GRANITE BLACK IKO shingles. However, the homeowner needed to discuss the options with their spouse before making a decision. They are planning to replace the roof within a couple of years, but it's recommended to go with the full replacement option now for long-term cost-effectiveness, especially given the leaking areas and the need for ice and water barrier and custom bent metal flashing to seal the leaking area.

This project involves repairing a flat/foam/single-ply roof that is leaking in multiple areas. The client has identified a small leak above the roof and a rubber roof leak on the second floor, which is causing water to leak into the bedroom/office. Additionally, there is a leak in the rubber roof at the back of the house on the first floor, which was unsuccessfully repaired with tar. The project also includes removing and reinstalling the existing rotten railing on the second-story balcony porch. The client purchased the home in 2022 and is unsure of the age of the roof.

The customer requested a repair for their existing asphalt shingle roof due to flashing issues on the addition, which was not installed properly seven years ago. They also reported problems with a gutter section that has an open end against brick, leading to water leaking into the basement. The repair involves counterflashing about 18 inches of step flashing on the rear addition into brick, adding an end cap, and sealing the flashing area. Additionally, there is a leak at the rear dormer window, for which the customer requested the replacement of two 1x sticks and sealing with kickoff flashing to divert water away from window edges. Although the customer plans to replace the 40 square rubber and asphalt roof within the next few years, they are currently looking for a good contractor to perform the mentioned repair, with a quoted price of $1,500. The customer has a bundle and a half of new shingles in case the counter flash requires it, but it is unlikely to be needed. Upon inspection, it was noted that the 15-year-old rubber roof has significant water leakage issues, with frost intrusion in the attic and water leaking in around the stink pile, as well as the entire rubber roof to asphalt shingle roof/wall transition. Due to the cold weather, it was not possible to fly a drone for a closer look, and a thorough inspection will need to wait until the weather improves. Despite these challenges, the customer agreed to proceed with the work as is, understanding that the rubber portion of the repair will need to wait until Spring regardless of whether a repair or replacement is needed. The proposed work includes replacing one metal window roofing with rubber, installing new wood in rotted sections on either side of the window, repairing the gutter end, and adding counterflashing to the step flashing.

The customer contacted us seeking an estimate for a roof repair due to some asphalt shingles coming off their roof. They mentioned being unsure of the roof's age but stated that they purchased the home over a year ago and have noticed loose and falling shingles. Despite these issues, there are currently no leaks. After discussing the repair, we were able to negotiate a deal for a full roof replacement. The customer opted to keep the existing pod vents but decided against adding gutters to stay within budget. They will pick up the deposit check on Monday. Additionally, we will dispose of a satellite antenna and add a bath hood for the second-floor bathroom. It is likely that the customer will finance the second half of the project.

Concerns arise as leaks persist from the bathroom light fixture during rainy weather, signaling potential roof issues that demand immediate attention. With a focus on roof replacement and installation, our team steps in to resolve these issues swiftly and effectively.

The homeowner, residing in the house for four years, seeks resolution for the roof's age-old dilemma. Upon inspection, deficiencies in attic ventilation become apparent, compounded by improperly sealed vents. These issues not only contribute to leaks but also compromise the overall integrity of the roof.

In collaboration with the homeowner, we conduct a thorough examination of the attic, identifying the root cause of the leaks and offering tailored solutions. Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner opts for a comprehensive approach, bypassing the need for drip edge replacement to expedite the process.

Driven by a commitment to quality and efficiency, our team embarks on the roof replacement project with diligence and expertise. By rectifying past installation errors and ensuring proper ventilation, we aim to deliver a long-lasting solution that brings peace of mind to the homeowner.

The proposed project involves an extensive renovation for both the house and garage roofs. For the house, the plan encompasses the removal of existing roofing down to the wood, with the inclusion of necessary tear-offs. Any rotted or damaged wood will be replaced with specified CDX plywood, and loose plywood will be securely back-nailed. The installation of KRS SealoronXT Ice & Water Protector, SealoronXT Deck tape, VeloraONE Synthetic Underlayment, and new aluminum drip and rake metal ensures enhanced protection. Vent pipe boot and chimney flashings will be replaced, with additional features like Tri-Built starter, IKO Dynasty architectural lifetime shingles, Airvent Shinglevent II ridge vent, and IKO Dynasty Hip and Ridge Cap shingles, all contributing to a durable and impactful roofing solution.

Similarly, the garage roof will undergo a parallel transformation, addressing the removal of existing roofing, wood replacement, weatherproofing measures, and the installation of new metal components. The proposed roofing system for the garage mirrors that of the house, promising a comprehensive upgrade.

Additionally, the deteriorating condition of the roof indicates signs of age and widespread damage, potentially stemming from hail. Given the extensive damage and the roof's advanced age, the need for a prompt and thorough renovation is evident to prevent premature failure and ensure the roof's longevity and functionality.

Talonda and her husband, Corey, homeowners of their residence for five years, recently scheduled a meeting to address issues with their soffits and fascia. Recognizing the urgency with the impending snow season, they sought repairs for holes in the soffits and fascia.

During the meeting, specific repair needs were identified, including fixing a hole in a 4' wooden soffit panel located on the front right of the garage overhead door. Additionally, the plan involves removing a rotted wooden decorative rake edge on the south side near the chimney and replacing it with metal. Further repairs include replacing approximately 3' of wooden soffit board on the south side at the second level, where the roof line meets the first-floor roof. These repairs are necessitated by squirrel damage.

To address the concerns effectively, the proposed repairs account for the impact of squirrel munching, ensuring the longevity and resilience of the replaced components. Following the repair work, the customer plans to paint the installed elements white to seamlessly integrate them with the existing aesthetic.

We are committed to providing Talonda and Corey with a comprehensive repair solution, ensuring the durability and visual coherence of their soffits and fascia. The goal is to fortify their home against the elements and enhance its overall curb appeal.

In response to the aging roof on Jim's residence, a detailed plan has been developed for a full roof and gutter replacement. The existing roof, which is over 30 years old, consists of two layers of asphalt over cedar on the main house and two layers of asphalt on the front porch. A precautionary 40 square feet of additional tear-off has been included to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances, such as an extra layer, or to provide a buffer for potential cost overruns. The selected Castle Grey shingles have been confirmed for the replacement.

The customer, a homeowner of 17 years residing in a duplex in the upper unit, discovered the issue on the northwest side inside a closet. Further investigation revealed a roofing composition of cedar shakes beneath asphalt shingles.

A pivotal meeting unfolded with the homeowner. This encounter was made possible through a referral from a friend of the homeowner, a satisfied client from a previous garage roof project undertaken the previous summer. The call for repair uncovered a multitude of issues in the attic and with the rubber and asphalt roofing. Consultation with sales rep Nick ensued, leading to the decision to provide the homeowner with quotes for her and her husband's consideration. The likelihood of a rubber roof installation in the upcoming spring was discussed.

To address aesthetic preferences, the choice of black granite shingles and black gutters was confirmed, with 50% of the payment already received for asphalt and gutters, as well as for RD (presumably roof repair) and rubber.

Notably, the homeowner expressed her satisfaction by giving a 5-star Google review during the appointment. The project specifications were summarized succinctly: "Glacier Shingles, Black gutters, small drip white, big drip black, deliver to walkway." As the narrative unfolds, it outlines the journey from identifying a leaking roof to the collaborative planning and decision-making for a comprehensive roof repair and replacement project.

Nancy is seeking corrective measures for issues arising from a recent installation that included roof and gutter replacement. The gutter system exhibits problems such as separated end caps, poorly installed downspouts, and missing drainage components, requiring redesign and replacement. The roof, inspected via drone due to no attic access, shows raised drip edges causing shingle displacement, necessitating remediation along with chimney re-flashing and addressing flashing issues at the 2nd-floor outside corner. Coordination with the original contractor involves reviewing the contract for the scope of work and potential credits or refunds. Challenges include communication following the original contract holder's demise, while the next steps involve preparing a comprehensive quote, and collaborating with the client post-severance from the original contractor. The proposed work aims to rectify current issues and enhance the overall integrity and functionality of the roof and gutter system. Nancy gave us a great review and said the team's commitment to excellence was evident in the exceptional quality of their work.

Homeowner had a section of roof that was sagging dramatically and looked in danger of falling off. When we went out there, we removed the decking, and determined that the original framer used short screws to install this section, and it wasn't enough to hold, long term. We jacked up the section and shored up the framing with longer screws. We installed new ice & water protector and IKO Dynasty shingles. When we were done, the previously slouching section looked as good as new!

This roof was suffering from several failure points and required some attention. When we met with the homeowner, he expressed that the main roof and the garage leaks are the priority. We set him up with options of helping his needs and settled on a plan he was comfortable with. This was a quick but much needed repair and will keep him safe and dry for years to come. 

There's no roof too small for Klaus! Susan called us out to take care of her shed which was in desperate need of new shingles. Half the shingles were missing, and the other half were deteriorated beyond their usefulness. We came in and put a Klaus on their house. We treat every roof the same from our high quality underlayments to our impact resistant shingles. Just because it's a shed, doesn't mean it should leak. At the end of the project, Susan was happy we gave new life to her aging shed.

Paul had a leak in his rubber chimney flashing. The water had made its way past the rubber, 2 layers of insulation board, the deck boards and into his house. We had a repair tech in the area with rubber materials on hand, so we were able to get his leak fixed just 2 days after signing with us. A quick turnaround for an urgent problem.

This job went extremely well. We were able to deliver materials and use our new company truck, named Buckey. Once materials got on site, we started working on replacing the roof. The homeowner was excited to see the new roof go on so efficiently. After the project was done, we cleaned up and packed up Buckey for the next project ahead. 

Some older roofs, especially in Milwaukee, have multiple layers of shingles laid over cedar roofing. This project had 3 layers of asphalt shingles on top of cedar shingles. Layering shingles like this can lead to all sorts of problems like shingles falling off, leaks, and more. We always tear the roof down to the wood, as we believe this is the only way you can ensure the roof will do its job properly.

On this project, we also put on brand new deck boards across the whole roof. Cedar shingles need to be attached to spaced-out deck boards to let them breathe, meaning the roof will be covered in big holes after the cedar is removed. Putting on new deck boards after removing cedar is essential if you want the shingles to stay on your roof.

The owners of this house called us out to take a look at the house they had recently moved into. The roof was brand new, but whoever replaced the roof did not replace one of the most crucial points: a complex metal valley. Often details like this are skipped over because installers want to save time or don't have the ability to deal with complex metal bends like this. We came and replaced the entire metal section with new metal. The leak was so bad that it had rotted out the wood beneath it, so we made sure to replace that with fresh CDX plywood. At the end of the day, it's details like this that separate a "good" roof from a great one.

After another company replaced this homeowner's roof, it was discovered that they did not install step flashing along the side of her dormer. They also did not install new flashing on her skylights. All of this was causing leaking all over the house. We came out and corrected the work that was done. We started by adding new step flashing, adjusting the siding so it covered the flashing, and installing 2 new skylights. At the end of the project, the customer was very happy with the work we did.

This chimney flashing was in terrible shape and had been covered in tar as a band-aid for a much deeper problem. After removing the tar and the aluminum flashing hidden underneath, we found there was no ice & water protector underneath, and no step flashing installed, meaning water being driven from the side could easily find its way underneath the flashing. We installed new Sealoron XT ice & water protector, step flashing, and a new aluminum counterflashing to properly protect the chimney from wind driven rains.

Mark called us out to add a ridge vent to his house. Upon inspection of his roof and attic, we found that we could not install a ridge vent, as there was no ridge on the house, and instead, the peak of the roof was flat and roofed over with rubber. We instead ran a calculation for the size of his roof and how many box vents it would need and installed those instead, bringing the exhaust ventilation up to code. We also noticed that he had little to no eave ventilation, so we installed new soffit vents along all his eaves to keep the attic as cool as possible and bring the intake ventilation up to code. Mark now has a much more efficient attic space that will keep ice dams from forming in the winter, and keep his A/C bills down in the summer.

This winter, Deborah had an electrical mast that was pulled out by an issue with the electrical pole on the street. This put a large hole in her roof, and damaged her soffits, fascia, gutter, and siding. The holes were so big that squirrels were able to find their way into her attic. After having an electrician out to replace the mast, we came out to re-deck and reroof that corner of her roof, as well as disassemble and reassemble her soffit and fascia. While we were out there, we ran a brand-new gutter along the back of her roof. Everything is looking good as new and with a cage and a little peanut butter, her attic should be squirrel free in no time.

This roof was only 11 years old and due to improper installation; entire sections of the roof were falling off!  The house had major leaks inside and had to have ceilings re-done as well as wood replaced.  We installed a brand new, 50 YEAR WARRANTY roof!  This warranty also covers the labor-you can't go wrong!

My rental house and garage both needed a new roof right away.  Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley was able to replace both roofs and I was pleasantly surprised that they could do the work in winter.  I would highly recommend using them and I would use them again myself on my other houses!

I own a rental property in West Allis and the roof was severely damaged in the last windstorm.  Ryan came over right away to evaluate the damages and found that we needed the roof re-decked in order to be up to code.  He advocated for me with my insurance company and he was able to help me get everything that I needed in order to have a new roof that was up to code AND Klaus Roofing Systems standards, which are very high.  I now have a new roof and a 50-year warranty!  Thank you, Ryan, for going above and beyond for me!

Water was leaking through the chimney flashing, causing extensive damage inside the house.  We removed the existing materials and installed new Ice and Water, step flashing and aluminum counter flashing around the chimney.  We then installed new IKO Dynasty shingles in the repaired area.

We had some really bad wind damage to our roof. Klaus Roofing Systems come to the house right away and assessed the damage.  They wrote up the quote and worked directly with our insurance company to get all damages covered.  The repairs were completed expediently, and we couldn't be happier!  Thank you Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley, Keep up the great work!

For this project, we needed to install new gutters and a new downspout. Sometimes, the downspouts won't work where you want to see them, but it'll be the best way to keep the integrity and improve the longevity of your roof.

This homeowner didn't think there was enough ventilation, and also mentioned it would sometimes leak! We were able to work with their schedule, the weather, (sometimes, life just happens!), and their hopes of getting everything done before winter settled in. 

This home had a lot of leaks due to severe ice damming over the winter, as well as poor workmanship from previous patches and installations. Just take a look at how this chimney flashing is curling up, just inviting water to come in! 

Orlando, one of our team members at KRS, and his crew took an inordinate amount of time on the problem areas to make sure there are no more future leaks in those areas. He even said there had already been two repairs on that section and want to make sure there will never be a 4th repair to that area.

This roof had a leak coming in from their front window. water was getting in through the rotted roof decking and lack of IKO Goldsheild Ice and Water protector. This was not only causing damage to the shingles and rotting roof deck but was also causing damage to the inside of the home. This could have been due to a lack of proper underlayment and poorly pitched gutters.

In order to make this issue no longer a problem, we replaced the entire roof, all rotted roof decking and soft spots, and replaced their gutters with brand new ones. Check out the journey of a roof replacement!

This owner noticed a few shingles missing after seeing some leaks after some hard rains inside after just moving into their duplex. Water can cause damage to the roof deck as well as the inside of the house, so they found us on Home Advisor to come out for an inspection. 

After investigating, we could see that the last repair on this 10-year-old roof just added a layer of IKO shingles on top of the last layer instead of getting to the root of the problem. The shingles were sliding down because whoever installed them, did so into plank sheathing with gaps in it, so the nails aren’t grasping the roof deck or plywood, which causes shingles to come loose. There was also no Ice & Water protection installed underneath the shingles. 

There was a bump on the second story south side of the house, so we removed existing shingles, used IKO Gold Shield Ice & Water around the entire area above the bump on the exposed wood, taped all seams with seam tape, and used ring shank nails so they won’t pull up in the future. After re-shingling the area with IKO Dynasty Lifetime Shingles, we installed a new aluminum drip edge to avoid future leads. 

Our communication was swift and detailed, fixing their lead roof in just a couple of hours. 

This is a before photo of a chimney cap on a ranch style home in Milwaukee, WI. The homeowner saw a water spot on the ceiling in her entryway and didn't know where it was coming from.

She called Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley to investigate, we determined that it was an easy fix and the best solution was to re-caulk the chimney cap with clear TryPolymer Sealant. This homeowner is now happy knowing that the leak is gone and wasn't a major issue. 

Bruce B. in Milwaukee, WI contacted us because he noticed his ceiling was damp and starting to bulge. We showed up to give him a free estimate and decided that a roof replacement with new decking was needed. 

We started by tearing everything off the roof, then rebuilt the decking with CDX Plywood. The next step was to install Ice & Water and Underlayment before putting on the shingles. We also cut out a new ridge vent to ensure the home stays properly ventilated and added chimney flashing. 

These homeowners now know that their home is safe with a completely new roof put on the Klaus Roofing Way by Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley! 

Jimmie W. of Milwaukee and his wife moved into their new home within the last year. His wife compiled a list of to do's and his job was to make sure the items could be crossed off of his honey-do list :) 

To their surprise, they were experiencing electrical shortages in their dining room ceiling. There was water leaking from the ceiling and it was affecting the electrical. He went into the attic and found the source of the roof leak. As a temporary fix, he has placed a tarp in that area of the roof to deter any additional moisture getting into his home. Jimmie was reassured Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley could absolutely help him solve this issue.

Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley immediately booked an appointment to have a Roofing Consultant conduct a free inspection. Jimmie was grateful.
