Butler features a mix of established residential neighborhoods and small commercial or light industrial properties. Many homes in the area were built several decades ago and may still have aging roofing systems approaching the end of their expected lifespan. At the same time, flat or low-slope roofing systems are common on commercial buildings, garages, and multi-unit properties. Each structure requires a tailored approach to ensure long term durability and proper water management.
Older residential roofs often show signs of shingle granule loss, flashing deterioration around chimneys and vents, and ventilation imbalances that accelerate wear. In some cases, multiple roofing layers may have been installed over time, which can conceal underlying decking concerns. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether targeted repairs, structural reinforcement, or full replacement is the most practical solution.
Low-slope roofing systems require a different level of precision. Ponding water, membrane separation, and seam failure can gradually compromise waterproofing performance. Materials such as EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen must be installed with disciplined fastening methods and properly sealed transitions to prevent leaks. When correctly installed, these systems provide durable protection for many years.
Wisconsin’s climate adds additional challenges. Freeze thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, hail impact, and strong summer storms place continuous stress on roofing materials. Proper ice and water barrier placement, secure flashing integration, and balanced ventilation are critical components of any roofing system in this region. Attention to these details helps reduce the likelihood of premature deterioration and costly structural damage.
Energy efficiency is another important consideration for both residential and commercial properties. Proper attic ventilation and insulation work together with the roofing system to regulate temperature and reduce moisture buildup. In warmer months, improved airflow helps prevent heat accumulation that can shorten shingle lifespan. During winter, it reduces the risk of ice dam formation along eaves.
Our team is fully insured and trained in current roofing installation standards. We work with architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal systems, and low-slope membrane materials selected for durability and performance. Every project is approached with disciplined workmanship and clear communication, ensuring homeowners and property managers understand the scope of work and the long term benefits of proper installation.
Whether maintaining an aging residential roof or upgrading a commercial roofing system, the goal remains the same: restore reliable protection and extend the life of the structure. By combining professional-grade materials with proven installation practices, we deliver roofing solutions designed to withstand Butler’s weather conditions and protect properties for years to come.

We had Modern Exterior replace our chimney chase with cement siding. They special ordered the correct color siding and the instillation went smoothly. They did a great job with the siding as well as the cleanup. I recommend Modern Exterior Roofing.

I recently had them install a new roof and gutter system. Roof was a tear-off. They put a waterproof underlayment under the new shingles and replaced some OSB. My chimney had some bad bricks. They repaired it and tuck pointed it. Quality job and price was good. Regarding the gutter system, at first I just wanted gutter guards. I mentioned that even when the gutters aren't clogged with leaves, if there is a hard rain, the rain will go over the gutters. He explained the reason is my downspouts were too small. I had 2x3". So got a new gutter system with larger downspouts at 3x4" and guards. Pricing very reasonable on those as well.

I was nervous at first. If I picked the right company or not. I picked Modern Exterior over three other quotes. Manley because of Kasi McWhorter project consultant. She was very nice and patient with me. She answered all my questions. She took pictures with her drone and explained all the potential problem areas on my 23 year old roof. I accepted her quote and signed the same day. The price was in the middle of the others I received. The workers did an excellent job and clean up. I only had a little sweep up to do. I saw from my doorbell video while I was at work. That they took special care of my flower pots I had on the porch and front yard. They moved them out of danger and put them all back nicely after the job was done. Some of the pots I know weren't light either. Kasi even made a special trip for me to take after pictures. Because I wanted a good look of my new roof. Thank you Modern Exterior I'm glad I chose you. I'm very happy with my new roof. Special thanks to Kasi and the workers who took time to take such good care of me and my plants.

Residential
Roofing Contractor
We do residential roof repairs, roof maintenance, and roof installations.
We take the time to review the repair strategy, the materials being used, and how each component contributes to long term durability. Our goal is not just to correct the immediate problem, but to restore dependable protection built to withstand Wisconsin’s seasonal weather patterns.
Schedule a Thorough Roof Inspection
Every effective repair starts with a detailed evaluation of the entire roofing system. We inspect shingles or metal panels, flashing transitions, valleys, vents, skylights, chimney connections, and attic ventilation to determine the true source of the issue. On properties with low-slope sections, we also assess membrane seams, drainage paths, and areas where ponding water may develop.
In southeastern Wisconsin, roofing materials are exposed to wind uplift, hail impact, heavy snowfall, and repeated freeze thaw cycles. These conditions can weaken vulnerable areas long before visible leaks appear. Rather than focusing only on surface symptoms, we examine underlying components for hidden moisture intrusion, compromised decking, or ventilation imbalances. After completing the inspection, we provide a clear explanation of our findings and outline practical next steps.
What Property Owners Should Know
After working on homes and small commercial properties throughout the area, one thing is clear: many roofing problems can be effectively addressed when identified early. Wind exposure, hail impact, and seasonal temperature changes often create localized shingle damage, flashing separation, or membrane wear that does not automatically require full replacement.
When the structural decking and underlying components remain in sound condition, a properly executed repair can restore performance and extend the service life of the existing roofing system. Replacement is recommended only when long term safety, structural integrity, or widespread deterioration makes it the more responsible option. Our focus is to evaluate the full condition of the roof and provide practical guidance based on real performance needs.
Every repair is completed using disciplined installation standards and backed by our workmanship warranty. That confidence comes from consistent quality control, professional materials, and a commitment to protecting Butler properties for the long term.
Roof Emergencies Require Prompt Action
Strong storms, hail impact, heavy snowfall, and sudden temperature shifts can cause unexpected roof damage at any time of year. Wind gusts may lift shingles, loosen flashing around chimneys and vents, or displace ridge caps. Hail can bruise shingles, knock off protective granules, and create small fractures that are not immediately visible but weaken the roofing system over time. During periods of heavy rain, low-slope areas may experience drainage stress, exposing seam weaknesses or areas prone to ponding water. When moisture begins entering the structure, interior ceiling damage, insulation saturation, and even structural wood deterioration can develop quickly if not addressed.
Once the immediate threat is controlled, we perform a detailed evaluation of the entire roofing system. This includes checking for hidden moisture intrusion, compromised decking, ventilation imbalance, and any additional storm-related damage that may not be visible from the ground. Identifying the full scope of the issue ensures that repairs address both surface damage and underlying concerns.
If the situation involves storm damage, we provide clear documentation, detailed photos, and written assessments to support your insurance claim. Our focus is not only restoring the roof’s appearance, but rebuilding its structural integrity and long term performance. Through disciplined installation practices and durable materials suited for Wisconsin’s climate, we work to ensure your property remains protected against future weather events.
