Questions and Answers
What's the best way to fix a leaking skylight on my Milwaukee home?
A leaking skylight often stems from failed flashing or sealant due to Milwaukee's temperature swings. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact failure point. We then carefully remove the old, compromised materials and install new, weather-resistant flashing and sealants designed to expand and contract with the seasons, creating a long-lasting, watertight seal specific to our local climate.
How can I prevent ice dams from damaging my roof this winter?
Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and even. For Milwaukee homes, we assess your current setup and often recommend adding insulation or improving airflow in the attic. We can also install ice and water shield—a self-adhering membrane—along the eaves during a repair or replacement. This creates a critical secondary barrier against water that backs up behind dams.
My roof has ice dam damage. Do I need a full replacement or just a repair?
Not always. It depends on the extent of the water intrusion and the age of your roofing materials. We'll perform a detailed inspection to assess the sheathing and decking underneath the shingles. Often, localized repairs to the damaged sections, coupled with improved ventilation or ice shield installation, are sufficient. We'll give you a straightforward, honest recommendation on the most cost-effective solution to protect your Milwaukee home.
