Asphalt Roof Installation in Schofield, WI

An asphalt roof installation Schofield WI job starts the same way every time. We pull up, strip the old shingles down to the wood, and look at what has been hiding under there for the last two decades.

Then the new roof goes on in layers, in order:

Ice and water membrane along the eaves and up every valley. Synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck. New drip edge on every edge. New valley metal. New step flashing where the roof meets a wall or chimney. Starter strip along the bottom and rakes. Architectural shingles fastened to the manufacturer’s pattern. Ridge vent and matching cap at the top.

Skip any one of those and the roof still looks fine on day one. It just does not last. That gap between looking right and being right is most of what separates one roofing crew from another.

Full Roof Replacement in Schofield, WI

If your roof is past twenty years, a roof replacement Schofield WI is not really a decision anymore. It is a timing question.

We never shingle over an existing roof. Some crews will offer it because it is cheaper and faster. Here is what it actually costs you. The old shingles hide any rotted decking underneath, so problems stay problems. The doubled layer holds heat and cooks the new shingles from below, which shortens their life. The added weight sits on rafters that were never sized for two roofs. And most shingle manufacturers cut your warranty short when their product goes over an old layer.

So every asphalt roof replacement Schofield WI we do is a full tear off. Old material goes straight into the dumpster the same day it comes off.

What Happens to Your Deck

Once the shingles are gone, we walk the whole roof and check the wood. Older homes near the Eau Claire River and the mill side of town often show soft spots around chimneys and in the valleys, usually from years of ice damming.

Anything that flexes underfoot, shows water staining, or has come apart gets cut out and replaced. Here is the part that matters to you: we photograph it, show you, and get your approval on the cost before we install a single sheet. Nothing shows up on your invoice that you did not say yes to first.

New Roof Installation for Schofield Homes

Building new, or putting an addition on? A new roof installation Schofield WI job runs a little differently than a replacement because there is no tear off, but everything above the deck is identical.

We work around your builder’s schedule so the house gets dried in when it needs to be, not two weeks later. Framers and interior trades cannot move until the roof is on, and we know that.

The same goes for garage builds, three season porches, and second story additions where the new roof has to tie into an existing one. Those tie in points are where most water problems start. We flash them new rather than working around what is already there.

Picking Your Shingles

Roof shingle installation Schofield WI is not just about the material going on. It is also about what you are going to look at every day for the next twenty five years.

We bring real shingle samples to your house. Not a website, not a brochure. You hold the color up against your siding, in Schofield daylight, standing in your own driveway. A gray that looks sharp on a screen can read completely different next to tan vinyl.

Architectural shingles are what we put on nearly every roof. They carry better wind ratings than old three tab, they hide small waves in older decking, and they come with longer manufacturer coverage. Starter, cap, and fasteners all come from the same system, because mixing brands across one roof is one of the quickest ways to void a warranty.

Wisconsin Winters and Your Roof

Schofield sits right where Highway 29 meets 51, and the weather here does not go easy on a roof.

Snow sits on it for months. It melts against a warm attic, runs down to the cold overhang, and freezes into a ridge of ice. Then the next melt backs up behind that ridge and finds its way under the shingles. That is an ice dam, and it is why a residential asphalt roofing Schofield WI job has to do more than just look good.

We run ice and water membrane well past the interior wall line at the eaves, up every valley, and around vents and chimneys. We also check your attic while the roof is open. If the soffit intake is blocked or there is no exhaust at the ridge, the attic stays warm and the ice keeps coming back no matter how new the shingles are. We will tell you if that is what is going on.

Cleanup Is Part of the Job

Tarps go down over landscaping, the patio, and the driveway before the first shingle comes off. Debris drops straight into the dumpster instead of into your yard.

At the end of every day, rolling magnets go across the lawn, the drive, and the edges of the property for nails. We do it again at the end of the job, and then we walk the finished roof with you. You get the manufacturer shingle warranty paperwork and our own workmanship coverage, both in writing, before we pull out.
