Home had several failure points on the fairly new rubber roof.  We relaced the entire area with EPDM Rubber Membrane.

In Milwaukee, WI, a homeowner is planning a full roof replacement covering 1,964 square feet. The project will include installing small chimney flashing and using IKO Dynasty shingles in the Brownstone color. The work involves a complete roof replacement.

The project involved a complete roof replacement for an extremely old roof that had cedar shakes with two layers of asphalt shingles underneath, covering an area of 2,234 square feet. The roof's condition was critical, with soffits showing holes and the chimney flashing leaking inside. The existing cedar shakes and asphalt shingles were removed to start with a clean slate. New soffits and fascia were installed, enhancing both the structural integrity and appearance of the roof. Vent pipe boot flashings were added to ensure a watertight seal around the pipes. The chimney flashing, which was a source of leaks, was replaced with new aluminum flashing designed for brick chimneys. The new roof, finished in Granite Black with white drip edges, addressed all critical issues, ensuring the home's protection and significantly enhancing its curb appeal.

In Milwaukee, WI, a homeowner sought to replace their worn and aging roof to ensure their home remained well-protected and visually appealing. The team at Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley expertly removed the old materials and installed a brand-new roofing system featuring IKO Dynasty shingles in Shadow Brown. These shingles not only add durability but also complement the home’s aesthetic with a warm, classic finish.

To optimize water flow and minimize maintenance, we installed 6-inch seamless gutters with Raindrop gutter guards and upgraded the downspouts to efficiently handle heavy rainfall and debris. This combination ensures the home’s foundation stays dry and secure.

With 2,500 sq. ft. of roofing coverage, the house now stands strong against the elements, offering the homeowner peace of mind and a refreshed, polished look that enhances their property’s curb appeal.

Linda first reached out to Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley earlier in the year, hoping to replace the aging roof on her Milwaukee home. Unfortunately, due to some unexpected family matters, she had to put the project on hold. When the timing was right, Linda contacted us again, ready to move forward with her roof replacement.

Our team quickly scheduled the project, ensuring Linda felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. We began by carefully removing the existing roofing down to the wood deck, inspecting the structure, and replacing any damaged or rotted wood with durable cdx plywood. Every loose plywood piece was back-nailed to reinforce the roof’s structural integrity.

To provide maximum protection, we installed KRS SealoronXT Ice & Water Protector along all drip edges, walls, chimneys, and valleys, followed by SealoronXT deck tape on all plywood seams. VeloraONE synthetic underlayment was added across the roof, and new F8 aluminum drip metal and C4 aluminum rake metal were installed for long-lasting durability.

Linda selected IKO Dynasty architectural lifetime shingles, offering Class 3 impact resistance to withstand Milwaukee’s harsh weather conditions. We also installed Airvent Shinglevent II ridge vents to improve ventilation and new aluminum chimney flashing for added security.

Throughout the project, our team maintained open communication, answering all of Linda’s questions and ensuring she felt confident in every step. Linda couldn’t say enough about our team’s work ethic, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. She even mentioned how she wished we could handle all the projects in her home—something we truly appreciate!
