Milwaukee Roof Repair Serving Southeast Wisconsin

Shingles are constantly exposed to the harsh elements so you won't be. Due to the strong lake effects of Lake Michigan & Lake Winnebago, shingles on Fox Valley buildings see increased rain, snow, and wind. Exceptionally strong weather and extreme temperatures cause shingles to deteriorate faster. Even moss can cause damage to shingles if not located and removed quickly. 

With regular roof inspections from Infinity Exteriors, we'll ensure this doesn’t cause further problems. If shingles are already damaged, we will quickly replace affected shingles or do a roof tear-off if absolutely necessary.

Improper attic insulation is the main factor for shingles heating up in Fox Valley. Your attic space should be as close to the outside air temperature as possible, as to not melt all the snow and ice off your roof in the winter.

Infinity Exteriors contractors recommend installing AttiCat Blown-In insulation for maximum temperature stability. AttiCat insulation keeps heat in your home not on your roof, preventing ice dams from forming. With proper insulation, your home stays warm and cozy, plus you'll be saving on energy bills throughout the long Fox Valley, Wisconsin winters!  

If the flashing is not installed correctly, it won't have any luck stopping leaks. Chimneys, window lattices, roof valleys & ridges, and other vulnerable seams and joints of the roof need flashing to keep out water.

The experts at Infinity will recommend the right material for your roof’s flashings that won't only prevent further leaks but complement the aesthetic of your home.  We provide estimates upfront on new flashing installation and old flashing replacement in Fox Valley so you won't have any surprises with the cost.  

Older chimneys or poorly constructed ones commonly become compromised. The flue is meant to let gas and smoke out, not stop rain from getting in, leading to water damage in your house. When the mortar in the seams between the chimney and the rest of the roof becomes damaged by water, this is also primed for dangerous leaks. 

Installing a chimney cap is the first and most efficient way to stop rainwater from entering your chimney. Additional flashings around the base of your chimney will also protect the mortar seams from deterioration, preventing serious water damage to your Milwaukee home. 

A valley is a natural weak spot on the roof due to easier accumulation of water and common improver shingle alignments and cuts. New additions especially are more likely to experience a leak after settling with a contrasting older roof section. 

Infinity Exteriors installs shingle coverings over roof valleys to keep rainwater and snowmelt out of your house. Another solution our roofing experts provide is cutting the shingles so they divert water as originally intended. We also ad aluminum gutters that collect the water and dispose of it away from the rest of your home.

Improperly installed gutters cause fascia boards to deal with more water than they are built for. A misaligned drip edge will allow water to soak your fascia board and rot it. Clogged gutters also have the potential to allow water to back up underneath the drip edge and get into the fascia.

Fascia board rot can be prevented or delayed by installing a drip edge, repairing/replacing broken gutters, clearing gutters, or painting/caulking the fascia board. Keeping the fascia board intact will also help protect your soffits from water damage, a much more expensive problem to repair.

Even the smallest of openings in a deteriorated roof is enough for birds and small rodents to squeeze into. Soffit vents, chimneys, gutters, and window wells can all provide access points for these animals. Gutters in particular provide a convenient place for birds to build their nests, blocking water runoff and potentially causing harmful water damage to your home. 

You can always reduce the chance of unwanted bird and squirrel guests by reducing their access points. AttiCat Blown-In insulation is an alternative to traditional soffit, which rodents are known to nest in during winter. Installing a covered aluminum gutter will also minimize entry points and detract birds from building nests. 

Your shingles, underlayment, and decking can all be affected by moisture or heat. This may be due to inadequate ventilation or improperly installed roof components. 

The Milwaukee roofing experts at Infinity Exteriors will determine the current cause of the roof buckling and find the best solution to prevent further buckling. We repair roofs the right way so we don’t have to come back and fix them again next year.
