Your Local Brookfield Roofer Just Down I-94 in West Allis
Brookfield is one of Waukesha County's most established residential communities, with most of the city's housing stock built between the post-war boom and the late 1970s. That puts the typical Brookfield home squarely in its second or third roof replacement cycle and on these homes, the details are what separate a 25-year roof from one that fails in 12. Decking condition, ventilation balance, ice-and-water shield placement at eaves and valleys, and proper flashing around skylights and chimneys all matter more on a 1965 Brookfield ranch than they do on new construction.
All City Contracting is family-owned and operated out of West Allis, less than 15 minutes from anywhere in Brookfield via I-94, Bluemound Road, or Capitol Drive. We've been the trusted exterior contractor for Waukesha County homeowners since 2003. We're GAF Certified a designation held by only about 7% of roofers nationwide fully insured, fully bonded, and we treat Brookfield homes the way we'd treat our own.
What a Brookfield Roof Replacement Actually Involves
Brookfield's housing stock is mostly mid-century to late-1970s ranches, colonials, and split-levels styles that share a few specific roofing realities. We see them on nearly every estimate.
Decking matters more than homeowners think.
When a roof is on its second or third replacement, the underlying plywood or plank decking has been through 50-plus Wisconsin winters. Soft spots, warped boards, and old nail holes are common. Any honest estimate accounts for the possibility of decking replacement we walk every roof and tell you what we expect before we tear it off, not after.
Common Ventilation issues.
Older Brookfield homes often have insufficient intake or exhaust ventilation, which shortens shingle life and drives up heating and cooling bills. A proper ridge-vent and soffit-vent balance is one of the highest-ROI upgrades you can make during a replacement, and we'll spec it as part of the estimate.
Ice and water shield isn't optional in Wisconsin.
Code requires it at eaves; we install it well past code minimums into valleys, around penetrations, and around skylights and chimneys. Ice damming is a real problem in Brookfield winters, and a few extra dollars of underlayment now beats a ceiling repair in February.
Our Process, From Estimate to Final Walkthrough
- Free in-person estimate. We come out, walk the roof, document condition, and provide a written estimate including any decking or ventilation upgrades we recommend.
- Material selection. We walk you through shingle options from GAF, Tamko, Owens Corning, and IKO based on your home's style and your budget.
- Schedule & permit. We pull the permit with the City of Brookfield and schedule around your calendar.
- Tear-off and install. Most Brookfield roofs are completed in 12 days. We protect landscaping, sweep magnetically for nails twice, and leave the site as we found it.
- Final walkthrough & warranty. We walk the finished roof with you, register your manufacturer warranty, and back it with our lifetime workmanship warranty.
After a Brookfield Storm: What to Do First
Southeast Wisconsin gets serious hail and wind nearly every spring and summer, and Brookfield sits right in the path. If your home was hit, here's what to do before you sign anything with anyone.
Document everything from the ground.
Take dated photos of any visible damage bent gutters, dented downspouts, debris, missing shingles. Don't climb up there yourself.
Call your insurance but don't file yet.
A claim filed without knowing the actual damage can hurt you. We'll do a free inspection and document what we find before you commit.
Be skeptical of door-knockers.
After every Brookfield hailstorm, out-of-state contractors flood the neighborhood. They're not licensed in Wisconsin, they vanish after the check clears, and the warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Call us.
We'll handle the inspection, document the damage, and work directly with your insurance adjuster through the entire claims process. Our office is in West Allis we're not going anywhere.

Brookfield Roofing FAQs
How much does a new roof cost in Brookfield?
Cost depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the shingle line you select, decking condition, and any ventilation upgrades. Rather than throw out a number that may not apply to your home, we provide a free written estimate after walking the roof. Request your estimate here.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Brookfield homes are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes, complex rooflines, or significant decking replacement can extend that.
What's the best time of year to replace a roof in Wisconsin?
Late spring through early fall is ideal. That said, we install year-round modern shingles and adhesives perform well in cold weather as long as the crew knows what they're doing. If you have an active leak, don't wait for spring.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on-site, and handle the claims process from inspection through final repair. More on our storm damage process here.
Are you licensed and insured in Wisconsin?
Yes fully insured, fully bonded, and operating out of West Allis since 2003. We're happy to provide certificates on request.
What warranty do you offer?
Every job comes with our lifetime workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty on the shingles themselves. Our GAF Certification unlocks enhanced warranty options that non-certified roofers can't offer.
