Types of roofing materials we offer

Asphalt Shingle

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material in America. It's easy to install and relatively inexpensive. It's also very effective at keeping out moisture. The downside is that an asphalt roof may be more vulnerable to wind and sun damage than roofs of other materials.

Metal

Many homeowners like metal roofs because they are both lightweight and durable, as well as very fire- and wind-resistant. These roofs are expensive up front but can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. They're effective at keeping your home warm despite Milwaukee's cooler temperatures.

Slate

Slate is a very sustainable natural materials that can last a long time with minimal maintenance. However, these benefits mean that slate costs more up front, the infrequent repairs may be more expensive, and your warranty options may be more limited. We recommend talking to one of our All Star roofing experts to learn more.

Clay

Clay roofs are popular for their good solar reflectivity and ability to resist water, fire, and pests. Clay lasts a long time but can be very expensive to install, partly due to its heavy weight. We recommend talking to one of our All Star roofing experts to learn whether a clay roof is a good fit for your home.

Cedar

Many people like cedar or other wood roofs due to their timeless look. Wood is also a very long-lasting and environmentally conscious option. One downside is that wood can require more maintenance than other materials. Also, while it can be treated to resist fire, it's not inherently fire-resistant like some other materials.

Synthetic

Synthetic roofs can be designed to look like other materials (like cedar or slate) and last a very long time. Synthetic tiles are lightweight but extremely durable. One thing that may stop homeowners from choosing a synthetic roof is the cost. If this is an option you're interested in, one of our All Star roofing pros can provide a free estimate of what it may cost.

signs you may need a new roof

Age of the Roof

A roof typically lasts between 15 and 30 years. Your roof's lifespan will depend on the weather in your part of Wisconsin, the roofing material, and how well it's been taken care of. If your roof is approaching or within this age range, we suggest calling one of our All Star roofing pros to perform an inspection and tell you whether we recommend a full replacement.

Shingle Edges are Curled

If your shingles are starting to curl or peel, it may be time to think about replacing your roof. Some shingle damage is normal, but if you're noticing excessive peeling or large bald spots, it could be a sign that your roof is at the end of its lifespan. A local Milwaukee roofing expert can perform an inspection and tell you if the damage is typical for your area or if your roof has simply worn out.

Cracked Shingles

Like curling, cracking is sometimes a normal part of shingle wear and tear. Here, the same rule applies: if you notice severe cracking or large areas that are missing shingles, it's time to consult a roofing professional.

Saggy or Droopy Spots

Roofs generally sag for one of two reasons: inadequate support underneath or too much weight on top. Over time, the internal supports for your roof can sustain damage from humidity, water, or pests or can simply wear out naturally. Things like snow and ice can exacerbate damage by sitting on top of your roof and weighing down on these internal supports. Either or both of these issues can lead to a droopy or saggy roof. Often, replacing your roof is the best way to ensure all supports are in the best shape possible.

Moss

Particularly at more rainy times of the year, you might notice mold, mildew, and moss beginning to grow on your roof. Moss is the most visible of the three, but mold and mildew can pose serious health risks if they get inside your home. A roof that has frequent bursts of plant and mold growth may need to be replaced.

Visible Leaks

One obvious sign of roof issues is visible leaking, particularly where your walls meet your ceiling, or in your attic. Some leaks may be easy to stop, but an inspection is always a smart idea. This can help identify whether the leak is part of a larger problem. Our local experts are trained to identify and repair the source of leaks and are eager to help you keep your home safe and dry.
