FAQs
What roofing services does South Shore Roofing provide in Washburn?
We offer complete residential and commercial roofing solutions, including free roof inspections, leak detection and repair, full roof replacement, new-construction roof installation, storm-damage restoration, gutter and flashing installation, and preventive maintenance programs. Because we’re locally based, our crews are familiar with Washburn’s lake-effect weather patterns and can recommend the best products and techniques to maximize your roof’s lifespan.
How can I tell whether my roof needs repair or full replacement?
Start by looking for curling or missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, soft spots on the decking, interior water stains, or ice dams in winter. If your asphalt roof is 20 years old or more, or if more than 25 % of the surface is damaged, a replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated spot repairs. We provide no-obligation inspections and will document our findings with photos so you can make an informed decision.
Which roofing materials work best for Washburn’s North Shore climate?
Asphalt architectural shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost, durability, and aesthetics. For superior performance against heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles, many Washburn homeowners choose metal standing-seam roofs; they shed snow easily and can last 40–70 years. We also install synthetic slate, cedar shake, and EPDM or TPO membranes for low-slope applications. During your consultation we’ll compare lifespan, energy efficiency, and price so you can select the optimal material.
How long will my roofing project take?
Most single-family home re-roofs in Washburn are completed in one to three days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, such as those with multiple dormers, steep pitches, or structural repairs, may take up to a week. Commercial flat roofs can range from a few days to several weeks depending on square footage and system type. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you offer warranties?
Absolutely. South Shore Roofing is fully licensed by the state of Wisconsin and carries $2 million in general liability insurance as well as full workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. We are certified installers for GAF and CertainTeed, allowing us to offer manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years on materials. In addition, we back our craftsmanship with a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty, giving you double protection.
What does a new roof cost in Washburn, and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on material, roof size, pitch, and any decking repairs. Asphalt shingle replacements typically range from $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot, while metal roofs run $9 to $14 per square foot. After your inspection we’ll give you a written, itemized quote valid for 30 days. To make your project affordable we partner with GreenSky and Service Finance to provide zero-down, low-interest financing plans and can also guide you through potential insurance claims for storm damage.
