Whitefish Bay is a village of tree-lined streets, Tudor Revival and brick homes, and a lakeside setting that looks postcard-perfect until you get up on a roof. The steep slate-look roofs on those 1920s and 1930s houses take a beating from Lake Michigan air, freeze-thaw cycles, and ice dams, and that is where we come in.
Homeowners in the 53211 ZIP code call Milwaukee Metal Roofing because we understand the housing stock here, from the steep gables near Klode Park to the brick Tudors off Silver Spring Drive. We install, repair, and replace metal roofs built to handle everything Whitefish Bay weather throws at them.
Metal Roofing in Whitefish Bay (53211)
Whitefish Bay sits on a bluff above Lake Michigan, and that proximity drives a lot of what we see. The lake air accelerates corrosion on fasteners and flashing, especially on older homes with original gutters and chimneys. The housing stock is mostly 1920s and 1930s Tudor Revival and brick homes with steep roofs, many of which were originally slate. When that slate fails, homeowners often want a metal roof that looks similar but performs better. Stone-coated steel and copper are popular choices here because they match the historic look while shedding snow and resisting ice dams. The lots are often tight, with mature maples and oaks close to the house, so access can be tricky and we plan carefully to protect landscaping and siding. Drainage matters too: the grade around many Whitefish Bay homes slopes toward the house, so we pay close attention to flashing and gutter placement to keep water moving away from the foundation.
Our team has worked on roofs throughout Whitefish Bay and the surrounding Milwaukee area, from small repairs on a porch roof to full replacements on three-story Tudors. We know the local building department requirements and can help you navigate the permit process.

How a Job Works in Whitefish Bay
Step 1: Call us at (414) 219-0818 or request a free estimate online. We will schedule a time to come out and inspect your roof, discuss your options, and answer any questions. We will also check for any signs of damage that might not be obvious from the ground.
Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we will pull the necessary permits and schedule the work. In Whitefish Bay, tight lots and mature trees can mean we need to plan for staging materials and protecting landscaping. We will also coordinate with any HOA requirements if your neighborhood has design review. Our crew will remove the old roofing, inspect the decking, and install your new metal roof according to manufacturer specifications.
Step 3: After the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you are satisfied. We leave your property clean and your new roof ready to protect your home for decades.
