Midwestern Roofing & Construction | Roofing Services in Milwaukee, WI 53209

Signs of roof decking rot include sagging roof lines, dark stains on your ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, and a soft, spongy feeling when walking on the roof. In Milwaukee's climate, trapped moisture from snow, ice, and rain can seep under shingles and rot the wooden decking. This compromises the structural integrity of your entire roof. Our expert inspection can identify rot early, and we provide complete decking repair or replacement to restore a solid, safe foundation for your new roof.

Roof flashing—the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys—can lift due to Milwaukee's extreme temperature swings, which cause expansion and contraction, and from high winds. Failed flashing is a leading cause of leaks. We don't just reseal it; we properly remove the compromised flashing, prepare the surface, and install new, high-quality flashing integrated with your roofing system. This permanent fix is crucial for preventing water damage around these vulnerable penetration points.

The decision depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the condition of underlying materials like decking. For isolated issues like a few damaged shingles or a small section of bad flashing, a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread decking rot, or has suffered significant storm damage, a replacement is usually the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide a honest, detailed assessment to help you make the best choice for your home and budget.
