  • 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.
