West Allis is a city of solid, no-nonsense housing. Those 1940s and 1950s Cape Cods and brick ranches west of Miller Park, especially around the 53227 ZIP code, have been through decades of ice dams, hail, and heavy snow, and their original shingle roofs are feeling it. If you live near Veterans Park or along Greenfield Avenue, you know exactly what we mean.
That is why homeowners in West Allis call Milwaukee Metal Roofing. We specialize in retrofitting metal over existing shingles and full replacements that stand up to Southeast Wisconsin weather, whether your house is a classic ranch near Nathan Hale High School or a duplex closer to downtown. We know the local building stock because we work on it every week.
Metal Roofing in West Allis (53227)
West Allis lots are typically 40 to 50 feet wide with detached garages at the back, and many driveways are narrow. That means staging materials takes planning, and we often use compact lifts or hand-carry panels to avoid tearing up your lawn or blocking the alley. The housing stock here is mostly one-story ranches and Cape Cods with low-pitch roofs, which are prone to ice damming at the eaves. We see a lot of 3-tab shingle roofs that are 20 to 30 years old, and when they fail, it is usually at the valleys or around the chimney flashing. Metal is a smart upgrade because it sheds snow and ice much better than shingles, and it handles the freeze-thaw cycles that come with our winters. Our team has installed hundreds of metal roofs in West Allis and the surrounding Milwaukee area, from standing seam on a ranch near the fairgrounds to corrugated panels on a garage off Lincoln Avenue. We know the local inspectors and the permit office at West Allis City Hall, so we can keep your project moving.

How a Job Works in West Allis
Step 1: You call us at (414) 219-0818 or fill out our contact form. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your West Allis property, usually within a couple of days. We will inspect your roof, take measurements, and talk through options like metal over shingles versus a full tear-off. You get a written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the required roofing permit from the City of West Allis (most full replacements need one). We order materials and schedule your install, typically 1 to 3 weeks out depending on the season. On install day, our crew protects your landscaping, sets up staging in your driveway or alley, and gets to work. Most residential roofs in West Allis take 2 to 5 days, depending on size and complexity. If your home is in a historic district or has HOA design rules, we help you get the necessary approvals before we order panels.
Step 3: When the job is done, we do a full cleanup, including magnet sweeping for nails, and walk the property with you to make sure you are satisfied. We do not leave until you have signed off and your yard is as clean as we found it.
Pricing for metal roofing in West Allis depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, and whether we are going over existing shingles or doing a full tear-off. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10 per square foot, and metal roof replacement at $9 per square foot. If you want to save by retrofitting over your current shingles, metal roof over shingles starts at $7 per square foot. Repairs like leak fixes start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. For a typical 1,200 to 1,500 square foot ranch in 53227, a full metal roof often lands between $12,000 and $20,000 depending on the panel type and complexity. We always provide a free, no-pressure estimate, so call (414) 219-0818 to get exact numbers for your home.
