Riedel Exteriors | Roofing Services in Butler, WI 53007

Ice dams often form due to heat escaping from the attic, which melts snow unevenly on the roof. Properly installed and insulated siding is a critical part of your home's thermal envelope. At Riedel Exteriors, we ensure your new siding and underlying insulation work together to keep warm air inside your living spaces, not in the attic. This helps maintain a consistent roof temperature, reducing the risk of the freeze-thaw cycle that causes ice dams and the resulting water damage to your roof and walls.

Absolutely. In our Butler climate, roof flashing—the metal that seals joints on your roof—can lift due to wind, ice, or underlying water damage. Faulty or deteriorated siding is a common culprit, as it can allow moisture to seep behind the walls and weaken the sheathing where the flashing is attached. Our siding repair and replacement services focus on creating a watertight seal around roof intersections. We address any rot or damage behind the old siding to provide a solid base, ensuring your new flashing has a secure, long-lasting attachment point.

In Butler, your roof and siding work as a team to defend against wind, snow, and ice. When we address a roof problem like ice dam damage, we often find compromised siding underneath the eaves or at the roof line. Tackling both systems together with Riedel Exteriors ensures a comprehensive solution. It prevents future leaks, improves your home's energy efficiency by sealing all gaps, and protects the structural integrity of both systems. This proactive, whole-house approach saves you money and headaches down the road by fixing the root cause, not just the symptom.
