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.

Installed access panel in garage ceiling, added baffles and sealed all voids. Blew in insulation to bring up to R50. Working with Modern Exteriors was very easy and completed work in a timely manner. Would not hesitate to use them again.

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.

Your Roof Repair Specialists in Milwaukee
When our team arrives at your property, we begin with a thorough review of your roofing system and a clear explanation of what is causing the issue. From aging flashing around brick chimneys to wind related shingle damage, we address the specific challenges commonly found in Milwaukee homes. Our approach is built on disciplined workmanship, transparent communication, and repairs designed to hold up against the seasonal demands of southeastern Wisconsin.
Dealing With an Aging Roof in Milwaukee
Many homes in Milwaukee have roofing systems that are 15 to 30 years old, and natural wear over time can lead to leaks, shingle deterioration, and flashing failures. Older properties, especially historic homes and duplexes, often require careful evaluation to determine whether the issue is isolated or part of broader material fatigue.
A full replacement is sometimes necessary, but not every aging roof needs to be torn off immediately. When the decking remains solid and the majority of the system is still functional, a properly executed repair can restore protection and extend the life of the roof without the cost of a complete replacement.
Addressing small problems early helps prevent interior water damage, structural wood decay, and insulation issues that become more expensive over time. Our goal is to provide practical guidance so Milwaukee homeowners can make informed decisions that balance performance, longevity, and budget.
What Milwaukee Homeowners Should Know
Working on homes throughout Milwaukee has shown us that many roofing problems can be corrected without full replacement when they are identified early. In older city neighborhoods, common issues include flashing deterioration around brick chimneys, aging shingles exposed to lake effect winds, and moisture intrusion caused by repeated freeze thaw cycles.
Repair is often the most practical solution when the underlying decking and structural components remain sound. Rather than replacing an entire system prematurely, targeted repairs can restore performance, reinforce vulnerable areas, and extend the functional life of the roof. However, when safety or structural integrity is compromised, we are straightforward about recommending replacement.
Every project is completed with disciplined installation practices and backed by our workmanship warranty. Our confidence comes from consistent standards and years of experience working on Milwaukee properties, where attention to detail is essential for long term protection.
Roof Emergencies in Milwaukee Require Immediate Response
Milwaukee weather can change quickly. High winds off Lake Michigan, heavy snow accumulation, summer thunderstorms, and falling debris can cause sudden roof damage without warning. When water begins entering your home, fast action is critical to prevent ceiling damage, insulation saturation, and structural deterioration.
Our team responds promptly to emergency roofing situations throughout Milwaukee. The first priority is stabilizing the affected area to stop active leaks and protect vulnerable sections of the roof. Once the immediate risk is controlled, we perform a detailed assessment to determine the full extent of the damage, including hidden moisture intrusion that may not be visible from the ground.
If the damage is storm related, we provide thorough documentation and photo evidence to support your insurance claim. Our goal is to restore protection to your property efficiently while ensuring the repair is completed properly and built to withstand Milwaukee’s demanding climate.
With experience working on historic homes, duplexes, and modern residential properties across the city, we understand how to address emergency situations safely and effectively. When urgent roofing issues arise, you can rely on a team that prioritizes both speed and long term performance.

Comprehensive Roofing Services for Milwaukee Properties
Milwaukee is home to a wide range of architectural styles, from historic bungalows and Victorian era houses to duplexes, multi-family properties, and modern residential builds. Many older homes throughout the city feature steep slope roofing systems, masonry chimneys, and aging ventilation layouts that require careful evaluation. At the same time, flat and low slope roofs are common on multi unit and light commercial structures. Each type of property demands a tailored approach to ensure proper water management, structural protection, and long term durability.
Our team is fully insured and trained in current roofing technologies and installation standards. We work with architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal systems, and low slope membranes such as EPDM and TPO. Material selection is only one part of the equation. Proper underlayment installation, ice and water barrier placement, secure flashing transitions, and balanced attic ventilation are essential for performance in Wisconsin’s climate. We treat every roofing system as an integrated structure rather than just a surface layer.
Milwaukee’s location along Lake Michigan creates unique environmental pressures. Lake effect winds can increase uplift stress on shingles and metal panels, while heavy winter snow loads and repeated freeze thaw cycles can strain flashing details and roof penetrations. In older neighborhoods, previous repairs or multiple roofing layers may also complicate the system. A thorough evaluation helps identify hidden moisture intrusion, compromised decking, and long term wear that may not be visible from the ground.
When unexpected storm damage or leaks occur, timely response is critical. We assess both the immediate issue and any secondary structural concerns to prevent future problems. Whether performing a targeted repair or installing a full replacement system, our focus remains on restoring reliable protection that withstands seasonal extremes.
Our reputation in Milwaukee has been built on consistent workmanship, clear communication, and honoring both labor and manufacturer warranties. We understand that roofing is a significant investment, especially in a city where property value and structural longevity matter. By combining disciplined installation practices with professional grade materials, we deliver roofing solutions designed to protect Milwaukee homes and buildings for decades.
