Know your Milwaukee house
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District runs the Jones Island and South Shore treatment plants. The city has replaced more than 5,000 lead service lines, with many more still to go. Ask a plumber to point out any lead line they find.
Lake Michigan breezes can keep the east side cooler in summer. Summer storms can still bring basement backups, so check sump pumps. Older buildings may have slate or tile roofs, which call for specialized repair skills.
Ice dams form when heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves, forcing water under shingles. Insulation and ventilation help. Duplexes with one flat stacked above another are common in older neighborhoods. Shared systems mean a problem in one flat can affect the other.

Local rules before you book
Wisconsin requires roofers who pull permits on homes to hold a Dwelling Contractor credential. Ask for a written estimate that lists materials, tear-off, disposal and how any rotten decking will be handled.
What to have ready
Note when leaks happen, such as during heavy rain or wind from one direction.
Quick answers
What causes ceiling stains?
Roof leaks, flashing failures, plumbing leaks or condensation. A roofer can check the roof side. Water can travel along rafters before it drips, so the stain is not always right under the leak.
What causes roof leaks?
Worn flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights is a common cause, along with missing shingles and clogged gutters.
Do you cover Story Hill and Layton Park?
Most likely. We cover Story Hill, Third Ward, Layton Park and Bay View and other parts of Milwaukee, across 53202, 53203, 53204, 53205, 53206 and others. If no one is available, you will hear that from us up front.
Can roofing work happen in winter?
Many repairs can be done in cold weather, though some materials seal best in warmer temperatures. A roofer can advise on timing.
Not in a rush? Say so. Flexible timing can make it easier to find someone with an opening.
