Call (888) 685-2250Why roof repair in Franklin, WI starts with the weather
Franklin gets summer hail and wind, then winter ice, and that shapes what goes wrong with roofs here. These are the problems a roofer in Franklin checks for first.
Ice dams in winter
Warm attics melt snow that refreezes at the eaves and backs water under the shingles. Repairs fix the damage; insulation and ventilation stop the next one.
Freeze–thaw at flashing
Joints around chimneys and walls open up after winters of freezing and thawing. Resetting the flashing lasts; another bead of caulk does not.
Cracked seals around vents
Seals around plumbing vents and roof jacks crack with age and temperature swings, and they are a frequent cause of small ceiling stains.
What's included when you book roof repair in Franklin, WI
A visit for roof repair in Franklin, WI is built around the actual fault. These are the repairs it most often involves in Franklin, and any of them can be done on its own.
Hail damage
Bruised shingles and cracked vents replaced, with photographs of every slope
Ice dam damage
The shingles and underlayment the meltwater got under, repaired and resealed
Flat and low-slope roofs
Low-slope sections patched and blocked outlets cleared so the water can drain
Flashing repair
Step, wall and chimney flashing reset or rebuilt instead of caulked over
Pipe boots and vents
Cracked rubber collars and dried-out vent seals replaced before they soak the deck
Emergency tarping
A tarp slid under the course above the damage while it is still raining, priced separately from the repair

Does a 20-year-old roof need to be replaced?
Not automatically. Age alone does not decide it; widespread granule loss, curling, soft decking or repeated leaks do. A sound 20-year-old roof with one bad flashing joint needs a repair.
Can a roof be repaired in a day?
Most repairs, yes. Shingle, flashing and vent-boot repairs are usually finished in a single visit once the roof is dry. Larger areas of rotted decking can take longer.
Is it a roof leak or condensation?
Attic moisture with no hole in the roof is often condensation from poor ventilation. Damp spread evenly over the underside of the deck points to condensation; a single wet track points to a leak.
