Ricardo’s Contracting | Roofing Services in Milwaukee, WI 53212

In Milwaukee, warm, moist air from your home can rise into a cold attic in winter, condensing and freezing on the underside of the roof. This 'ventilation frost' can lead to wood rot, mold, and ice dams. Our roof inspections specifically assess your ventilation system. If needed, we can repair or improve it during a reroofing or replacement project to ensure balanced airflow, protecting your home from this common local issue.

Nail pops are often caused by the lumber in your roof decking shrinking and expanding over time with Milwaukee's temperature swings, pushing the nails up. During a new roof installation or reroofing, we use techniques and materials suited to our climate. This includes using longer nails, installing them at the correct depth, and sometimes employing specialized fasteners to secure the shingles more effectively, minimizing future pops and maintaining a smooth, protective roof surface.

Absolutely. Proper gutters are a key part of your home's defense system. Clogged, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can trap water and contribute to ice dam formation at the roof edge, which stresses the roof and siding. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and installation services ensure water flows away from your home efficiently. Combined with our roofing work to address ventilation and nail pops, we provide a comprehensive solution to protect your Milwaukee property.
