West Allis Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. We sell tile work and we still talk most callers out of buying a tile roof. On a West Allis bungalow the objection is the house and the lot, not the weather that everybody expects a roofer to blame first.
Start with the framing. The 1920s stock on this grid was built with dimensional rafters on ordinary spacing carrying a light covering, and tile weighs several times what a shingle roof does per square. Adding it is not really a roofing decision at all. It becomes a structural question needing an engineer, sistered rafters or a new ridge beam, and by the time you have paid for that you have paid for two roofs.
Then look at how the material would arrive. Tile comes on pallets and it wants a boom truck with a clear reach to the roof. On a street of houses with no driveways, four feet of side yard and a twelve foot alley, that reach does not exist on most lots. Hand carrying pallets through a gap between two buildings is how tile gets broken and how backs get hurt.
There is a smaller point that only shows up ten years out. Matching a field tile for a repair means finding a profile and a color blend that a distributor two states away may well have discontinued, and this is not a market where local roofers keep tile stock sitting on a shelf. A cracked tile on a Tuesday can easily become a tarp until Friday.
What we will happily do is work on the tile roofs that already exist here, and there are a handful, mostly on the larger houses and the institutional buildings. Almost every tile failure we have been called to was the underlayment beneath rather than the tile itself, which means a relay is the right answer far more often than a replacement ever is.
On a relay we lift and stack the field, keep the salvage sorted slope by slope so the weathering still lines up once everything goes back down, replace any batten that has gone soft, run a high temperature self-adhered underlayment up every valley and across each eave course, then reset the field with proper head lap. We give you the expected breakage percentage before we start rather than after we finish.
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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile 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
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing 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 tile roofing 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.
