That's why shingle roof replacements in Brookfield are a major part of what we do.

Look for Signs That You Need Roof Shingle Replacement
Shingle roofs deteriorate over time in a variety of ways. It's only natural since they are exposed to the elements, but it’s not always easy to tell when yours needs replacement. During a roof inspection, the roofing experts at Bulldog Builders look for the following signs of shingle roof damage:
Damaged Shingles: Broken, cracked, curling, or torn shingles on your roof usually indicate that you need a roof replacement.
Growth on Shingles: Moss, lichen, and algae can spread quickly on shingles if you leave it unchecked. They may not seem like a major problem, but it can cause the shingles to break down faster. Look for dark streaks on your roof to know whether you have an algae situation.
Interior Damage: Water leaks or wet spots on the ceiling and walls are signs that your shingle roof has considerable damage. Indoor leaking can also lead to mold growth in your attic, ruining your belongings and risking your family's health. Prevent this possibility with our services.
Missing Shingles: If your roof has bald spots, shingles may have fallen off when you experienced a severe storm or high winds.
Damaged Flashing: Flashing is the metal piece that seals off the areas where your roof meets a wall or chimney. If it's cracked, rusty, or broken, it can cause leaking.
Contact our experts as soon as you notice any slight difference in your shingles. What you might think are minor issues may lead to major problems if you leave them alone for too long. You can even book our 15-man crew for a fast and efficient 1-day roof replacement!

Benefits of Shingle Roofing
There are reasons shingles are the most common roofing material:
- Energy Efficient: Some shingle materials utilize light- and heat-reflective designs to help you conserve power. Likewise, they can help with insulation during the winter months, preventing heat from escaping your home.
- Low Maintenance: Shingle roofs require minimal maintenance. With proper installation, you can expect shingles to last many years without needing repair or replacement.
- Increased Longevity: Shingles can last upwards of 20 years. Their lifespan will depend on the type of material you choose.
- Various Design Options: Shingles can come in various colors, textures, and styles. This way, you can easily find shingles that will fit the theme of your home. Their versatile designs can also fit nearly any type of roof, whether they have complex angles or are more traditionally shaped.
- Eco-friendly and Recyclable: Some shingles are made of recycled materials, which makes them an excellent option for environmentally-conscious homeowners.
All these benefits are available to you with the proper installation by our team of professionals. Call our team today at 414-405-1751 for a complimentary roof inspection.
