Roofing Experts Serving Illinois & Wisconsin For 20 Years

Milwaukee's Roofing Company for Repairs and Replacements

Lake Michigan does not make things easy on a Milwaukee roof. Between lake-effect snow, spring hail, and wind off the water, a roof here earns every bit of wear it shows. Apex General Contracting has been repairing and replacing roofs across the Midwest for nearly two decades, and Milwaukee homeowners get the same direct answers and honest workmanship as everyone else we’ve worked with.

A leak or a bit of hail damage isn’t always obvious, even to the homeowner living under it. Milwaukee customers keep pointing to the same thing: a crew that looks past the obvious, actually finds what’s wrong and shows up when it counts.

Work with a crew that actually follows through, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.

See What a Roof Build Day Looks Like in Milwaukee

When a spring hailstorm tore through the Milwaukee area, Apex General Contracting was one of the first responders on the ground — inspecting homes, documenting damage, and helping homeowners navigate their insurance claims. With 20 years of experience, our storm damage experts know how to spot hail damage, work with your insurance policy, and build roofs designed to stay watertight for the next 50 years. If a storm has rolled through your neighborhood, give Apex a call for a free inspection.

The Apex Track Record

Jim Stringham founded Apex General Contracting in 2006, working alongside his father from the start. The company grew quickly enough to land on both the Inc. 500 and Top 100 Roofing Contractors lists as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country, and it kept that momentum without cutting corners. Apex holds GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, and Mule-Hide certifications, along with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

A Milwaukee homeowner calling Apex is not getting routed through a script. They’re getting a crew backed by real certifications and a track record that’s easy to verify.

Milwaukee Roof Repair, Replacement, and Ongoing Maintenance

Roof Repair

Roof damage in Milwaukee tends to show up in one of two ways: a slow leak you notice months later, or a hailstorm that leaves obvious marks the same week. Either way, the fix is easier and cheaper the earlier it’s caught.

  • Finding and sealing leaks before they spread
  • Hail and wind damage assessment and repair
  • Shingle replacement, whether it’s a few or a full section
  • Flashing and chimney seal repair
  • Emergency tarp coverage right after a storm

Total Roof Replacement

Once a roof is past patching, Apex handles the full job, tear-off through final inspection, with materials picked for how they hold up through a Wisconsin winter and not just how they photograph on install day.

  • Impact-resistant architectural shingles
  • Ventilation work that adds years to the new roof’s life
  • Ice and water shield for freeze-thaw protection

Ongoing Roof Maintenance

A roof that’s checked annually rarely turns into an emergency. Given how much Milwaukee’s seasons swing, a yearly look is one of the cheapest things a homeowner can do for their roof. With Apex you can count on annual inspection visits and get a jumpstart on repairs before winter or storms make them worse.

No pressure, no upsell, just an honest look and a clear recommendation.

Commercial Roofing for Milwaukee Businesses

A commercial roof problem doesn’t stay a roof problem for long. It turns into tenant complaints, disrupted operations, and a liability question if it sits too long. Apex handles commercial roofing for office buildings, retail centers, multifamily properties, and industrial sites throughout Milwaukee, working to keep the building functional while the crew is on-site.

  • Infrared scanning to catch hidden moisture before it becomes a leak
  • Full repair and replacement across TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, modified bitumen, and more systems
  • Ongoing inspection schedules that flag issues on a report instead of a tenant complaint
