Wauwatosa's 1920s and 30s Tudor Revival and brick bungalow neighborhoods, from the streets near Hoyt Park to the blocks around the Village, carry steep roofs that hold snow and ice at the eaves all winter.

Homeowners in 53226 call Milwaukee Metal Roofing because we know how these older roofs fail: ice dams back up under shingles, flashing pulls away from chimneys, and fasteners loosen after decades of freeze-thaw cycles. We are based in Milwaukee and work Wauwatosa and the surrounding area every week.

Metal Roofing in Wauwatosa (53226)

Wauwatosa sits on high ground west of the Milwaukee River, with mature maples and oaks that drop limbs and fill gutters. The housing stock here is mostly 1920s and 30s brick bungalows and Tudors with steep gables and dormers, plus some 1940s and 50s ranches closer to Highway 100. Those steep roofs look great but they are exactly where ice dams form, because heat escapes through older attic insulation and melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves. We see a lot of standing seam work on dormers and porch roofs here, and snow guards are a common add-on for homeowners who are tired of ice sliding off and taking gutters with it. Access can be tight on the older streets near the Village, where alleys are narrow and mature trees hang low over the roof. We plan for that before the crew shows up, so we are not damaging landscaping or blocking neighbors.

Our team has installed and repaired metal roofs across Milwaukee and Wauwatosa for years, from small porch roofs to full replacements on two-story Tudors.

How a Job Works in Wauwatosa

Step 1: call us at (414) 219-0818 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, look at the roof, attic, flashing, and gutters, and talk through what you are seeing. You get a written scope and price before any work starts.

Step 2: once you approve, we pull the required roofing permit through the City of Wauwatosa and schedule the crew. On tighter lots near the Village or under low tree canopy, we stage materials carefully and may use a conveyor or hand-carry to protect lawns and shrubs. If your home is in a historic district or HOA, we help you confirm the panel profile and color before ordering.

Step 3: we clean the site daily, run a magnet sweep for screws and metal scraps, and do a final walkthrough with you. We leave your property clean and show you exactly what was done.

Pricing in Wauwatosa depends on roof size, pitch, access, and condition. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam starts around $10 per square foot, and replacement starts around $9 per square foot. Metal roof over shingles (retrofit) starts around $7 per square foot, and corrugated or ribbed panel roofing starts around $5.50 per square foot. Repairs and leak repairs start around $450, screw replacement and re-fastening starts around $750, and flashing, chimney, or skylight repair starts around $600. Snow guards and ice protection start around $1,200. Steep pitches, multiple roof levels, tight alley access, and urgent storm damage can raise the number. Call (414) 219-0818 for a free, no-pressure estimate on your Wauwatosa property.

My 1920s bungalow near the Village has ice dams every winter. Will a metal roof fix that?

A metal roof helps because it sheds snow better than shingles, but ice dams are usually an insulation and ventilation problem first. We inspect the attic, check for heat bypasses, and recommend snow guards and proper flashing at the eaves. On steep Tudor roofs, standing seam with snow guards is a common fix, but we will tell you honestly if attic work needs to happen first.

A storm just lifted panels on my garage roof in Wauwatosa. How fast can you get out?

We prioritize active leaks and wind damage. Call (414) 219-0818 and describe what you see. We can often inspect the same or next day, tarp or secure what is safe, and give you a written repair scope. We also document damage for insurance claims, though coverage decisions are up to your insurer.

What does a typical metal roof replacement cost on a Wauwatosa bungalow?

Most bungalows here run roughly 1,200 to 1,800 square feet of roof. At around $9 to $10 per square foot for replacement or standing seam, that is often in the $11,000 to $18,000 range before extras like snow guards, skylight flashing, or chimney work. Steep pitch, dormers, and tight access can push it higher. We give you a firm number after the free inspection.

Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Wauwatosa?

Yes, a full replacement or re-roof typically requires a permit, and inspection requirements vary. We pull the permit and coordinate inspections as part of the job. For current rules, check the City of Wauwatosa website or call the building department, and we will confirm the details for your address before work begins.

My neighbor's tree hangs over my roof line. Can I trim it, and does my HOA need to approve a metal roof?

You can generally trim branches that cross onto your property, but check local rules and talk to your neighbor first to keep it simple. If you are in an HOA or historic district, get design approval for panel profile and color before ordering materials. We provide product samples and specs to help with that submission.

Are you insured for work on my Wauwatosa home?

Yes. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage.

What maintenance does a metal roof need in Wauwatosa's climate?

Check fasteners and seals annually, especially after heavy snow or wind, and keep gutters and valleys clear of leaves from the mature trees here. Snow guards protect gutters and entryways from sliding snow. A coating every several years can extend the life of older panels. We offer inspections and can set up a simple maintenance plan.
