West Allis Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. A West Allis roof inspection is really the creation of a record that does not otherwise exist. No permit is issued for a re-roof here, so no inspector ever writes anything down about your deck, your layer count or your venting. The file starts when somebody chooses to make one.
That matters most at two moments. The first is a claim, when a carrier wants to know the condition before the loss. The second is a sale, because the Wisconsin condition report puts the roof on the seller and the seller can only report what they were told. A homeowner holding a dated, photographed layer count is in a different position than one holding a receipt that says roof.
So our inspection produces a document rather than a verdict. Slopes photographed and labeled. A probe cut at the rake with the layers visible and counted in the frame. Fastener pattern and exposure noted, along with the flashing at every wall and penetration. The condition of the boards wherever we can actually see them, and the garage roof written up separately, because it is a separate structure with a separate history and usually a separate age.
Attic access on a bungalow is its own exercise and we plan for it. The finished half story means the only way to see most of the sheathing is through the knee wall doors into the triangular space behind them, so we ask you to clear one before we come. Ten minutes of your Saturday saves an hour of ours and gets you a far better report.
The city bulletin also says a re-roof has to have venting at the upper and lower ends of the roof area, which is worth checking on your own house because nobody else is going to. We report what is actually installed, whether the intake is genuinely open and whether the path between the two ends exists at all, rather than what the shingle color suggests from the driveway.
For most houses here, once every couple of years plus a look after any storm that stripped a neighbor is plenty. Buying is the exception. Get the inspection before you close, not after, because the layer count is the single fact that decides whether the next roof on that house is a layover or a tear-off, and that gap is thousands of dollars.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, site roll-formed standing seam fed up from the alley apron, a framed saddle set behind a shed dormer to split the flow — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Allis and nearby communities including Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Franklin.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Allis job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Allis Chooses West Allis Roof Pros
- ✓We open a probe cut at the rake and photograph the layer count before quoting, because West Allis allows two layers and inspects none of them
- ✓We will not install a third layer on any house, and we will tell you plainly that nobody from the city would ever have caught it
- ✓Every estimate names where the container sits and which slopes get worked from a rope, because a lot without a driveway changes the job
- ✓Ventilation chutes go in behind the knee walls while the roof is open, since the finished half story blocks the path the city bulletin assumes
