West Allis Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. Metal works well on this housing stock, and the obstacle is almost never the roof. It is the lot. A standing seam panel wants to run unbroken from ridge to eave, and a long panel reaches a back slope here through a gap barely wider than a person.
That is a real constraint and it decides the specification. On a rear slope we can only reach from the alley, we roll form on site and feed panels up from the alley apron, which works because the run is short on a bungalow. Where even that is impossible, the honest answer is a shorter panel with a transverse seam, or a different material, and we will say which before you have paid for anything.
The porch roof is where metal earns its place here first. Full-width bungalow porches are shallow, they sit under the main slope catching everything it sheds, and shingles on a pitch that low have always been a compromise that leaks eventually. A standing seam porch roof solves it permanently, and the area is small enough that the price does not frighten anybody who asks.
The alley garage is the second good candidate, for entirely different reasons. It is a simple rectangle with no penetrations, it takes panel beautifully, and it is the structure on your property most likely to be sitting at the two layer limit already without anyone realizing. Metal over a stripped garage deck resets that clock and should outlast the next two roofs on the house itself.
On the main roof we stay honest about complexity. A bungalow with a shed dormer, a chimney beside it and two valleys turns into flashing labor that quietly eats the entire material advantage, and a well built shingle roof will serve that house better for roughly half the money. We have talked people out of metal on this exact geometry more than once and would do it again.
Where it does fit, the details are the entire job. Twenty-four gauge steel, concealed clips, a Kynar finish, closed valleys with a proper W panel, profiled closures at eave and ridge, expansion allowance on the longer runs, and no dissimilar metals left touching each other. Exposed fastener panel is fine on a garage, provided somebody budgets for replacing the gaskets on a schedule.
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 metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing 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
