Roof Repair Before & After Photos

We replaced the entire ridge cap and vent on this house in Cudahy

This home had a ridge vent that was getting old and not working properly, causing bad ventilation. This may have been due to a low-quality product and was not a ridge vent Klaus Roofing by Buck Buckley would use or recommend. We replaced their low-quality ridge vent with a longer-lasting, higher-quality ridge vent.

This homeowner wanted larger kitchen and bath vents and also wanted to supply almost all of the materials we needed. So Ralph from the KRS team did a lot of work with them to get their venting hooked up exactly as they wanted. In this before and after, you'll see some smaller vents on their roof as well as the larger ones we replaced them with. 

In Franklin, WI, a homeowner reported a leak from the flashing around their chimney and a disconnected vent in the attic. Our inspection confirmed the chimney flashing leak noted in their report, and we assessed the rooftop and gutters, finding them to be in overall decent condition. The homeowner plans to replace the entire roof within a few years, so we provided a quote for both the full roof replacement and the immediate repair. For the repair, we will remove shingles and flashing around the chimney, install new shingles, and add new step flashing and counterflashing around the chimney. The total area involved is 2767 sqft.

The homeowner noticed brown dried-up spots in his vaulted ceiling near the chimney. We diagnosed the issue as a leak from failed seals around the chimney. We removed the old caulk in the area and re-sealed the area around the chimney, keeping the roof from leaking and giving this homeowner peace of mind.
