West Allis Roof Pros provides professional roof leak repair in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. Finding a leak on a bungalow is harder when there are two layers of shingles in the way. Water gets in at one point, travels sideways between the courses, and shows up in a bedroom four feet from where it started.
That is the everyday reality on this street grid, because a second layer is legal here and a great many houses took it at some point in the last thirty years. The old roof underneath is still a drainage plane. It carries water along the old shingle laps until it finds a fastener hole or an edge, and the stain on your ceiling reports the exit rather than the entry.
We work that backward from inside first. The half story on a Milwaukee bungalow has knee walls with dead triangular space behind them, and there is almost always an access hatch or a closet wall we can open. Standing in that space with a light gets us the underside of the sheathing directly over the wet drywall, and the run mark on the boards points uphill toward the real source.
Four failures cover most of what we find here. Step flashing at a shed dormer cheek wall that was face-nailed and caulked instead of woven course by course. A cracked plumbing boot on the rear slope. A valley where a dormer meets the main roof and the old layer was never cut back. And chimney counterflashing sitting on top of the brick rather than in it.
The repair we will not sell you is a bead of sealant over a two-layer roof. On a single layer that buys a season honestly enough. On a doubled roof it seals the top course while water keeps running along the plane underneath, and you pay again in eight months, usually for the same ceiling and the same conversation.
If the roof has years left, a real repair is worth every dollar and we will say so plainly. If the probe shows two layers and the boards under the leak are soft in three places, a patch only postpones the tear-off by one winter and costs you the price of the patch. We give you both numbers, we write down what we saw in the knee wall space, and we let you decide without a countdown attached.
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 leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair 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
