West Allis Roof Pros provides professional fascia & soffit in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. Soffit on a close lot is a code question as much as a carpentry one, and it is why your ventilation may be half of what you assume. The eave nearest the property line cannot always be opened up, and on a narrow lot that is half your intake.
The zoning rules allow a detached garage three feet from a side or rear line with an overhang reaching up to two feet into that setback, and the setback tables carry an added fire rating requirement as the separation shrinks. In practice the close eave on a garage, and sometimes on the house itself, wants a rated soffit rather than a freely vented one, which is not a detail you can improvise on the day.
So we design the intake around that before the roof is opened. If one eave cannot vent, the answer is more free area on the far eave, or intake taken at the roof plane just above the eave line on the close side, or on some houses an unvented assembly for that section. What we will not do is fit vented panel on a rated eave and call the job finished.
The carpentry itself is ordinary and worth doing right. Boards get primed on all six faces, cut ends included, before they go up. That one step does more for the service life of wood trim here than the paint on the front ever will. Where a run has already failed twice we move to cellular PVC, because at that point the exposure is the problem rather than the paint.
Aluminum wrap is where hidden damage usually starts on these houses. Coil laid over a board that was already damp seals the moisture in and then hides it for a decade, so we only ever wrap sound dry wood, and we replace a questionable board before wrapping it. Wrap gets hemmed along the lower edge and fastened through the face, never up through the underside, so water drips clear rather than wicking back into the board.
Sequence saves you real money. Fascia is cheapest with the gutters already down, soffit is cheapest with the eave already open during a tear-off, and both are painful as separate trips down a four foot side yard. If a new roof is within a couple of years, we will tell you to wait and do it all at once.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, site roll-formed standing seam fed up from the alley apron, a framed saddle set behind a shed dormer to split the flow — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Allis and nearby communities including Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Franklin.

Materials, equipment and how we do fascia & soffit
The difference between fascia & soffit that lasts and fascia & soffit that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Allis job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Allis Chooses West Allis Roof Pros
- ✓We open a probe cut at the rake and photograph the layer count before quoting, because West Allis allows two layers and inspects none of them
- ✓We will not install a third layer on any house, and we will tell you plainly that nobody from the city would ever have caught it
- ✓Every estimate names where the container sits and which slopes get worked from a rope, because a lot without a driveway changes the job
- ✓Ventilation chutes go in behind the knee walls while the roof is open, since the finished half story blocks the path the city bulletin assumes
The standards behind fascia & soffit
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The fascia & soffit work we do in West Allis follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every fascia & soffit project in West Allis gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
