At Duration Exteriors LLC, we believe a roof or siding system is only as good as the hands that install it. Serving the Milwaukee area, we don’t just “shingle over” problems—we provide comprehensive exterior restorations. Our team’s unique background as former insurance adjusters gives us a specialized eye for detail that ensures every project meets a gold standard for quality and structural integrity.

🛡️ A Foundation Built on Structural Integrity

A great roof starts with what you can’t see. When we perform a full roof replacement, we don’t just cover up old issues; we rebuild from the deck up.

  • Decking Inspection: We thoroughly inspect your roof decking and replace any rotten or compromised boards as necessary to ensure a solid foundation.
  • Leak Prevention: We install at least two rows of ice and water shield on the eaves and a full row in the valleys to combat Wisconsin’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Advanced Wall Protection: Where a roof slope meets a wall, we go the extra mile by removing siding whenever possible to install ice and water shield directly up the wall, creating an impenetrable barrier against driving rain and snow.

💎 Precision Engineering & Premium Materials

We prioritize high-performance materials like CertainTeed Landmark Pro and Malarkey Vista that offer superior hail protection. But even the best materials fail if the “jewelry” of the roof is neglected.

  • Flashing Experts: We inspect and replace all step flashings (roof-to-wall) and install specialized kickout flashings at chimney intersections to divert water safely into your gutters.
  • Edge Protection: Our team installs drip edge on the rakes and gutter aprons on the eaves to prevent water from wicking back into your fascia and soffits.
  • Secure Installation: We use professional starter strips on both rakes and eaves to ensure your roof is wind-resistant from the very first shingle.

🏠 Superior Siding Standards

Our commitment to quality extends to your home’s walls. Whether we are installing LP SmartSide for maximum impact resistance or premium vinyl from CertainTeed and Mastic, we never cut corners on the “unseen” layers:

  • Moisture Barriers: We always install high-quality house wrap behind both vinyl siding and LP SmartSide to keep your structure dry.
  • Thermal Protection: For vinyl installations, we verify that fanfold insulation is present. If it is missing or damaged, we replace or install it to improve energy efficiency and provide a smooth, professional finish.
  • Code Compliance: Every installation is verified against local building codes and strict manufacturer guidelines to ensure your warranty remains fully intact.

We don’t just rely on manufacturer warranties. At Duration Exteriors LLC, we stand behind our labor with a 5-Year Workmanship Warranty. If any issue arises due to our installation within five years, we fix it—no questions asked. This guarantee is our promise to the Milwaukee community that we do the job right the first time.
