BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
Milwaukee's proximity to Lake Michigan means lake-effect snow bands that can dump more snow on one side of the metro than the other, and the freeze-thaw swings that follow put real stress on shingles and flashing. It's a demanding climate for a roof, year after year.

John Beal Roofing serves Milwaukee and Milwaukee County — Wauwatosa, West Allis, Brookfield, Greenfield, Oak Creek, Franklin and Glendale. Family-owned, lifetime warranty on every roof.
This city has one of the densest concentrations of two-flat and duplex housing in the country, much of it a century old. Those buildings frequently combine a modest-pitch main roof with flat or low-slope sections over rear porches and additions — two completely different roofing systems on one building, meeting at a transition. Nearly every leak we find on a Milwaukee duplex is at that junction, where a shingle system has to hand water off to a membrane system and somebody has to detail it correctly.
Milwaukee’s Cream City brick housing stock is durable and unforgiving. Where a roof ties into masonry — a chimney, a parapet, a sidewall — water gets in through mortar joints that have been freezing and thawing for a hundred winters, and it shows up inside looking exactly like a roof leak. Replacing shingles will not fix a masonry problem. Knowing which one you have before you spend money is the whole point of a real inspection.
Lake Michigan drives hard, persistent wind into this city, and uplift concentrates on the exposed rake and ridge. Damage runs in a line along the windward edge rather than scattering, and it often does not dislodge anything — it simply breaks the seal strip so the next driving rain runs underneath. If one edge of your roof looks different from the rest, start there.
Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics. On a building with two roof systems meeting at a transition, workmanship is almost the entire product.
Yes - Milwaukee plus Wauwatosa, West Allis, Brookfield, Greenfield, Oak Creek, Franklin and Glendale.
Yes, and the transition between them is where most Milwaukee duplex leaks occur. It has to be detailed so the shingle system hands water off to the membrane correctly.
Often it is the masonry. Century-old mortar joints admit water after generations of freeze-thaw and it presents exactly like a roof leak. An inspection tells you which you are dealing with.
Most replacements run $10,000 to $17,000, with duplexes and mixed roof systems at the higher end. The number is in writing before work starts.
Milwaukee roofs take long winters with snow, ice and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the wind and moisture off Lake Michigan hit lakefront neighborhoods and suburbs hardest. Snow on a poorly ventilated roof builds ice dams that leak at the eaves.
Spring and summer storms add hail and damaging winds across Milwaukee, Waukesha and Ozaukee counties, and mature trees across the city make limb damage common.
We serve Milwaukee and the surrounding Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington county communities.
Milwaukee has a deep stock of older homes — bungalows, duplexes and Polish flats with steep pitches and multiple layers — plus postwar ranches in West Allis and Greenfield and newer homes in Brookfield, Franklin and Menomonee Falls.
Every Milwaukee replacement includes a full tear-off, decking repair, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and balanced ventilation, installed by certified crews and backed by our lifetime warranty.
Ice-dam leaks, wind-torn shingles, chimney flashing failures, limb damage and cracked pipe boots are the most common Milwaukee repairs. If your roof has life left, we repair it.
After a storm, we inspect and photograph the roof so you know whether you have a claim.
Milwaukee roof prices depend on roof size and pitch, tear-off layers, decking repairs, ice and water protection and the shingle you choose. Duplexes and steep older homes take more labor than a simple ranch.
You get a free inspection and a written, itemized quote.
