What are the most common signs I need a new roof?
Homeowners usually notice missing or curling shingles, granule loss, water stains on ceilings, soft or sagging decking, or a roof that has simply reached the end of its lifespan. Storms can accelerate wear, especially in Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles. If you notice these signs, contact the expert roofing contractors at Kettle Moraine Exteriors Inc today for a free roof estimate!How often should a roof be inspected?
Most roofing contractors recommend an inspection once a year and after major storms. Regular checks help catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it?
Repairs are possible when damage is isolated. Widespread aging, multiple leaks, or structural issues usually point toward full roof replacement.How long does a roof replacement take?
For most residential properties, a roof replacement will take 1-3 days, depending on size, pitch, layers to remove, and weather.What roofing materials do you install?
Contractors typically offer asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shake, and flat-roof systems like EPDM or TPO. Each material has different costs, lifespans, and aesthetic benefits to a roof replacement. Did you know that, according to RubyHome, asphalt shingles are used in about 80% of roofing projects, making them the most frequently used roofing material?Do you install underlayment, ice & water shield, and ventilation?
Yes. Proper underlayment and ventilation are essential for roof longevity, energy efficiency, and warranty compliance-especially in cold-weather states. Our roofing contractors are skilled in installing roofs that can withstand the Wisconsin weather.How much does a new roof cost?
Pricing varies based on material, roof size, pitch, tear-off needs, and ventilation upgrades. A detailed roof estimate is provided in writing after an inspection.Do you offer free estimates?
Most roofers provide a free, no-obligation roof estimate that includes measurements, material options, and a written proposal. Call Kettle Moraine Exteriors Inc today to receive yours!Will my insurance cover the roof replacement?
Insurance typically covers storm-related damage (hail, wind, falling debris). It usually does not cover normal wear and tear. A roofer can document damage, but the insurance adjuster makes the final decision on roof replacement coverage.Do I need to be home during installation?
Not usually. Our roofing contractors only need access to a power source and the driveway unless interior access is required for attic ventilation work.
