Milwaukee sits on the western shore of Lake Michigan, where the Menomonee, Kinnickinnic and Milwaukee rivers meet. It earned the nickname “Cream City” for the cream-colored brick made from local clay. Cultural landmarks include the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. Summerfest on the lakefront is one of the world’s largest music festivals.
Milwaukee homes and roofing projects: Milwaukee is known for its “Polish flats,” two-family homes with the units stacked one above the other. Its older neighborhoods are full of cream brick and wood-frame homes that are more than a century old. Lake Michigan brings wind, humidity and lake-enhanced snow, especially near the shore. On a roof, that means ice-and-water barrier at the eaves, balanced attic ventilation and flashing that holds up to freeze–thaw cycles.
Nearby and permits: Milwaukee borders Wauwatosa, West Allis, Greenfield, Brown Deer, Mequon and many other communities across Milwaukee County. City of Milwaukee residential permits are handled by the Department of Neighborhood Services Permit & Development Center, 809 N. Broadway, 1st Floor ((414) 286-8210, Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:30 PM).
What we do most in Milwaukee: We most often help Milwaukee homeowners with re-roofing older homes and two-family flats.
