Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley Before & After Photos

A homeowner from West Allis, WI, discussed several key renovation needs during our meeting at the NARI show in Milwaukee. His current roof, a 3-tab installation from 1999, shows signs of wear and lacks essential components like drip edge, despite no active leaks. However, the roof requires attention due to missing drip edges and general deterioration.

Additionally, the homeowner expressed interest in integrating two dormer downspouts, securing sagging fascia metal on the rear south side of the first level, and addressing rot issues necessitating redecking for both the house and detached garage. Furthermore, he requested removal and redecking of the chimney brick with additional labor included.

To meet these requirements, we proposed installing IKO Dynasty AR shingles in Brownstone, accompanied by new step flashing. This comprehensive approach will not only enhance the roof's durability but also address structural concerns throughout the property, ensuring a cohesive and reliable renovation solution.

A homeowner in West Allis, WI, initially sought a quote for new gutters but discovered significant issues during our consultation. Purchasing the home 1.5 years ago, Matthew noticed sagging roofs and loose gutters. An attic inspection revealed a poorly executed roofing job dating back to 2017, with missing shingles, tar paper, and damaged decking.

Given these findings, our discussion expanded to encompass a comprehensive roof replacement, including decking. Matthew had already undertaken DIY repairs, including flex-sealing the front rubber roof. Concerned about ice damming, he requested Raindrop gutter protection.

The project scope also involved addressing challenges like sagging gutters and the relocation of downspouts. Due to the proximity of neighboring houses, we implemented additional measures such as hanging tarps for protection. Specific tasks included adding railing labor, removing kickouts and valley controllers, and ensuring proper measurements despite initial challenges with rubber sections.

To address these issues comprehensively, we proposed using IKO Dynasty AR shingles in Atlantic Blue, complemented by new step flashing and chimney flashing. This approach ensures not only aesthetic enhancement but also long-term durability and protection against future roof-related issues.

In Milwaukee, WI, a homeowner is planning a complete roof replacement on their tri-level home, covering 2,311 square feet. After 25+ years, the roof has reached the end of its lifespan with no major issues, but it’s time for an upgrade. The project includes installing IKO Dynasty shingles in Driftshake, SealoronXT Ice & Water Protector for enhanced durability, and a new skylight with flashing. Additionally, the existing gutters will be removed, ensuring a fresh start for the roofing system and improved protection for the home.

In Milwaukee, WI, a homeowner is addressing the need for a new roof on their 2.5-car garage, covering 698 sq. ft. The project involves installing a durable IKO Dynasty roof in Brownstone, along with SealoronXT Ice & Water Protector for enhanced weather resistance. Additional improvements include installing fascia boards, wrapping them with aluminum for added durability, and installing drip and rake metal to ensure long-lasting protection. This comprehensive update will restore the garage roof and provide reliable, weatherproof functionality for years to come.

Earlier this year, a bad windstorm blew off some shingles. The roof is five years old but is now noticing mold and a bad smell, indicating that the leak had likely been ongoing longer than initially thought.
