Roof Repair Photo Album: Partial Roof Replacement - Milwaukee

This home needed a new roof! It was over 20 years old and had a leak that was coming into her house and damaging her drywall ceiling. This was due to shingle and underlayment failure. The owners wanted to remodel their kitchen but couldn't get that work done until the leak and roof were fixed. So, we solved the leak issue by doing a partial roof replacement on the front of the house only. Thanks to Ice and water protector, CoolGrey synthetic underlayment, and IKO Dynasty shingles, they'll never have to worry about leaks in the front of her house again!

Leaky Attic

One of the tell-tale signs of needing a new or replaced roof is that there are leaks coming into your home

Patch work

As you can see, this roof has had work done on it prior to this replacement by using some Flex Seal Patch work

Ridge Caps

As you can see, the ridge caps were pulling up. Installing ridge caps to a roof is the common term for putting on a layer of asphalt or shingles that cover the roof ridge. This is the last task completed on every roofing job, and it must be done correctly to prevent leaking.

Chimney Flashing

As you can see by this quick fix, their chimney needed to be reflashed because this would not properly seal any potential cracks or leaks.

Cricket

A cricket or saddle is a ridge structure designed to divert water on a roof around the high side of a chimney or the transition from one roof area to another. It's always good to inspect these to make sure there are no potential or growing problems with leaks or shingles coming off.

Aluminum wrap

This aluminum wrap needed repairs, which can be caused by natural wear and tear. You should expect your car wrap to last roughly five to seven years, depending on the finish and proper maintenance.
