Your New Berlin Roofer - Based Up the Road in West Allis
New Berlin grew rapidly from the 1960s through the 1990s, which means the city's housing stock is concentrated in a fairly narrow band: split-levels, ranches, and colonials built when Waukesha County was expanding outward from Milwaukee. Most of these homes are now 40 to 60 years old exactly the range where a second or even third roof replacement becomes necessary. At this age, what's underneath the shingles matters as much as what's on top. Decking condition, ventilation adequacy, and proper underlayment at vulnerable points (eaves, valleys, skylights, chimneys) are the difference between a roof that performs for 30 years and one that fails in half that time.
All City Contracting is based in West Allis, just a short drive north on I-894 from anywhere in New Berlin. We've served Waukesha County homeowners since 2003, and we're GAF Certified a designation fewer than 7% of U.S. roofers hold. We're fully insured, fully bonded, and family-owned. We're not going anywhere, and we stand behind every job with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
What a New Berlin Roof Replacement Actually Involves
New Berlin's post-war to 1990s split-levels, ranches, and colonials each present roofing realities that show up consistently on every estimate we run in the area.
Split-levels and low-slope transitions are high-risk zones.
New Berlin has a lot of split-level homes, and split-levels often have low-slope roof sections where a steep pitch meets a garage or addition. These transitions are notorious for ice damming and leaks because they're frequently under-protected. Code-minimum ice-and-water shield isn't enough at these intersections we extend coverage well past standard minimums and seal every transition properly.
Decking on 50-year-old homes needs a real look.
When a New Berlin ranch or colonial is on its second or third roof, the plywood or plank decking underneath has been through 50-plus Wisconsin winters. Soft spots, delamination, and old fastener holes are common and common enough that we walk every square foot of the roof surface and tell you what to expect before we tear anything off.
Ventilation is often undersized for Wisconsin winters.
Homes built in the 1960s and 70s frequently have insufficient attic ventilation not enough intake at the soffits, not enough exhaust at the ridge. Poor ventilation shortens shingle life significantly and contributes to ice damming. Properly sizing ridge and soffit vents during a replacement is one of the best ROI upgrades available, and we always spec it as part of the estimate.

After a New Berlin Storm: What to Do First

Document everything from the ground.
Take dated photos of visible damage bent gutters, dented downspouts, debris, missing shingles. Stay off the roof yourself.

Filing before you understand the actual damage scope can complicate your claim. Let us inspect first and document what we find.
