Roofing Contractor in Butternut, Wisconsin

A lot of Butternut's village homes predate the insulation and ventilation practices we build to now. Board decking with gaps, a foot of settled blown-in insulation, soffits sealed shut by three generations of paint — that combination turns attic heat into eave ice every single winter regardless of what shingle is on top.

When we replace one of these roofs we treat ventilation as part of the job, not an upsell. Open the intake, exhaust at the ridge, and get the membrane past the warm wall. The shingles are the easy part.

Butternut work is often not just the house. Machine sheds, older barns with metal already on them, garages and shops all need to be part of the plan, and the right answer on those buildings is usually exposed-fastener steel panel — fast, tough, and priced so it makes sense on a structure that does not need to look like the house.

We will quote the house and the outbuildings on the same visit so you are not paying for two trips up Highway 13.

This far north the snow lands in October and is still on north-facing slopes in April. Sustained load and long shade favor metal, and favor steeper pitches over the low-slope lean-tos that got added to a lot of these properties over the years. Where a shallow addition has to stay shallow, it goes to membrane rather than shingles.
