Franklin is where big suburban lots meet working farmland, and the roofs show it. Drive down Ryan Road or Loomis and you'll pass 1990s subdivision homes with steep gables next to pole barns and sheds with exposed-fastener panels, all within a few miles of the 27th Street interchange.
Homeowners in 53132 call Milwaukee Metal Roofing because we understand both sides of that mix. Whether it's a hail-battered shingle roof on a two-story colonial near Franklin High School or a rusted R-panel on a hobby barn off Rawson Avenue, we've worked on it, and we can tell you straight what it needs.
Metal Roofing in Franklin (53132)
Franklin sits on a mix of glacial till and clay-heavy soils, and that matters for roofing more than people think. On the newer subdivisions west of 27th Street, lots are graded tight and downspouts often dump near foundations, so ice damming at the eaves and gutter overflow are common after a heavy February snow. On the rural-edge properties along Ryan Road and Puetz Road, you're dealing with barns and sheds where corrugated panels have been screwed down for 30 years, and the failure is almost always the fasteners, not the steel. We see wind-lifted panels after summer straight-line storms, and we see moss and algae on north-facing slopes where shade from mature maples keeps things damp. The freeze-thaw cycles here are brutal on sealants and flashing, and road-salt air doesn't help. Our team knows how to spec a roof for that reality, not for a brochure.
We've been serving Franklin and the surrounding Milwaukee area long enough to know which neighborhoods have strict HOA design review and which unincorporated parcels fall under county rules. That saves you time and surprises.

How a Job Works in Franklin
Step 1: You call (414) 219-0818 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days, and we walk the roof and the attic with you. We look at decking, flashing, ventilation, and how the roof sheds water toward your lot lines. You get a written scope and a clear price, no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the roofing permit through the City of Franklin or Milwaukee County as required, and we coordinate with your HOA if you're in a subdivision with design review. On tight lots in the Franklin Highlands area or near the 76th Street corridor, we plan material staging so we don't block your neighbor's driveway. We protect landscaping and keep the crew on a schedule you can plan around.
Step 3: Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away old material, and do a final walkthrough with you. We don't leave until you've seen the finished work and know how to reach us if anything comes up.
Pricing in Franklin depends on the roof, not just the square footage. For a typical suburban ranch or colonial in 53132, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam runs from $10, replacement from $9, and a retrofit over existing shingles from $7. If you're fixing instead of replacing, metal roof repair starts at $450, and leak repair is in the same range. Screw replacement and re-fastening on an older barn or shed starts at $750. Stone-coated steel and metal shingles both start at $9 per square foot, and copper or specialty metal starts at $20. The big cost factors are roof size and pitch, how many layers are already there, access around the house, and whether we're dealing with storm damage that needs immediate attention.
