FAQs

East Side Roofing was founded in 2000 by an experienced Milwaukee-area roofer dedicated to repairing and installing high-quality roofs.

Yes.
We calculate the square footage of the roof and related products installed on the roof. Using those measurements, we can then calculate an estimate based on labor and material costs at that given time.
Yes. For a fee, we will do a rooftop inspection, take photographs, and detail any areas that need repair. We will prepare an overview of the condition of the roof and an itemized quote for the items that need repair. We work closely with local realtors and home inspectors to help buyers establish the value of the home.
Snow guards are a good way to stop melting snow from sliding down your slate or tile roof. Rail type snow guards made from bronze brackets and brass rails can act like a fence at the bottom of the roof which also retains the snow mass from sliding. Either style performs the same function.
You just need them on when there is snow on the roof and the temperature is above 20 degrees. Otherwise save the electricity.
As long as there’s not hail or heavy snow, yes, we can absolutely install and repair roofs during the winter.
It depends on your location, weather conditions, and the surrounding vegetation, but as a general rule it’s best to get them cleaned every 3-6 months. Additionally, it’s essential to keep an eye on your gutters after severe weather events, as they can become clogged or damaged from fallen debris.
Most shingles have a life expectancy that can be used as a general guideline. But an inspection will be one of the best ways to determine how much life is left in your current roof.

Leaving old shingles on is cheaper and faster when installing new shingles. However, the old roof must be a single layer free of problems for the new roof to adhere correctly. If your old roof features any of the following, it likely needs removal:

  • Curled or split shingles
  • Sagging or rotting roof decking
  • The new roof is lighter than the old roof. Installing lightweight shingles over existing heavyweight shingles will show all the old bumps and ridges in the old roof.
  • Your roof already has more than one layer
  • Ice dams are common in your area, or the average January temperature is below freezing and the old roof has no ice or water protection membrane.
  • The experts at Infinity Exteriors advise that the lifespan of your new roof will be reduced by as much as 20% if it’s installed on top of an existing roof.
