Kent's Home Improvement | Roofing Services in Milwaukee, WI 53204

Proper installation is key. For Milwaukee homes, we ensure adequate attic ventilation and insulation to minimize heat loss that melts snow. We install ice and water shield underlayment at eaves and use high-quality, seamless gutters with proper downspout placement to direct water away from your foundation. This comprehensive approach prevents ice blockages that lead to water backup under shingles, which is a primary cause of roof decking rot.

We recommend a proactive maintenance plan. Before winter, our gutter cleaning service removes debris to ensure proper drainage. We inspect and repair gutters, downspouts, and exterior trim. Our exterior painting and staining services use high-quality, weather-resistant products to seal wood from moisture. Addressing small issues with drywall, trim, or paint now can prevent major structural repairs later by stopping moisture intrusion that freezes and expands, causing damage.

First, we conduct a thorough inspection during our roof repair or replacement service to assess the full extent of the damage. We safely remove the affected shingles and underlayment to expose the rotted decking (plywood or OSB). All compromised wood is cut out and replaced. We then install new underlayment, proper ventilation baffles if needed, and your new roofing materials. This process not only fixes the rot but also restores the structural integrity of your roof to withstand future Milwaukee seasons.
