West Allis Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. Wind takes West Allis roofs at the rake, and the rake is where a second layer is weakest. The old edge underneath never got a starter course, the new one was laid over it, and the whole assembly at that edge is holding on with face nails.
You can see the pattern from the alley on any windy block. Shingles gone in a strip a foot or two wide running up the gable edge, with the field untouched. That is not a product failure. It is an edge detail that was skipped once during the layover and then hidden by everything laid on top of it, and there was no inspection at any point that would have caught it.
So a wind repair here starts at the perimeter rather than at the hole. We pull the first two courses along both rakes and along the eave, look at what the starter actually is, and rebuild the edge properly with a starter strip whose factory sealant lands at the edge, plus metal drip on rake and eave. If the drip edge was left off during a layover, and it often was, that gets corrected while we are there.
The gap between houses changes how we work rather than what we install. There is no room to stand a ladder in a four foot side yard and no room to drop debris, so the lifted course over that gap gets reached from the ridge with a rope and an anchor set on your own slope. It is slower. It is also the only way to work that side without setting foot on somebody else's grass.
Tabs that are lifted but not gone are the ones worth chasing. We walk the field by hand, lift along the courses above the eave and beside both rakes, and mark every tab that releases with no resistance. Those are next winter's leaks and they cost almost nothing to reseal now compared with what they cost in February.
Once shingles have gone brittle enough that lifting one cracks the two beside it, a repair is no longer an honest recommendation, and we will say that outright. On a doubled roof that has reached that point there is no partial answer left. We price the tear-off, show you the probe cut, and let the roof make the case rather than the salesman.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage 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 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
