Roofing
No matter where you are in Lake Country, we have you covered. Whether you are looking for Asphalt Shingles, Rubber Roofing, or more of a specialty roof like Wood Shakes, Slate or Tile.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt Shingles are the most popular materials used in this area for roofing because they are the most cost effective material for our climate currently. They are a mixture of materials including Asphalt, Petroleum products, Fiberglass, and more. They hold up well to the harsh temperature changes we see in Wisconsin and have a decent fire rating.
Wood Shakes
Wood Shakes were very popular before asphalt shingles came around because they were easy to make and would hold up a long time with the way houses were built before they become much more energy efficient. It is hard to beat the look of a wood shake roof, and there are some areas that require these to maintain the character of the home or neighborhood. The biggest drawbacks to wood shakes are the flamability and mold characteristics of them.
Tile
There are many different Tile Roofing materials used today, some of the most popular are Clay and Cement. The benefits to these materials are they are very wind, hail, and fire resistant. The biggest drawbacks are the weight of the material and the cost. Many homes are not built with these materials in mind when they were designed, so extra precautions should be used when switching to these materials, but if you plan to be in a home for many decades or generations, this can be a great option to be worry free of roof issues for a long, long time.
Slate
Slate Roofing is another material like tile that is very wind, hail, and fire resistant. Like tile, slate is very heavy and most be accounted for when choosing this material. The look of a slate roof can vary depending on what quarry the slate comes from, which is part of the appeal to it. This is also a material that is going to outperform almost any other material around. The biggest drawbacks are going to be weight and cost.
