Steeves Home Improvements | Roofing Services in Franklin, WI 53132

We address this local issue by using high-quality, impact-resistant shingles designed for Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles. Our installation focuses on proper ventilation and ice & water shield application at critical points, like eaves and valleys, to prevent moisture infiltration that leads to cracking. A properly installed roof system from us is built to handle the temperature extremes Franklin experiences.

For durability in Franklin, we prioritize structural integrity. This includes using appropriate joist sizing and spacing, robust ledger board attachment to your home, and durable, low-maintenance composite or pressure-treated lumber. We also ensure proper grading and drainage to prevent water and snowmelt from pooling, which protects the deck's substructure from rot and stress over many winters.

Properly functioning gutters are your first line of defense. In our area, clogged or damaged gutters can cause ice dams, which increase roof stress and lead to leaks. They also allow water to pool near your foundation, risking cracks. We install seamless gutters with adequate downspouts to efficiently channel snowmelt and rain away from your home, safeguarding both your roof's edge and your basement from water damage.
