Appleton Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Appleton, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Fox Cities. A replacement on an older Appleton house is two jobs sold as one. The steep main block takes shingles. The porch, the kitchen ell and the back stoop take something else, and the pitch on each is what decides which something else.
So the first hour goes on measurement rather than sales. Every section gets a rise number, every number gets a material, and the estimate carries a numbered sketch so you can see which section is which. Houses in the older wards routinely show four or five distinct roof sections at one address, running from a 12:12 gable down to something close to dead flat over a rear entry.
Under the covering on pre-1940 stock we normally find nominal one-by-six boards laid with gaps between them. A modern nail landing in a gap holds almost nothing, and the gaps widen as the boards cup. We probe from the attic side wherever there is an attic, state a per-sheet rate for new decking before anything comes off, and refuse to discover the problem on tear-off morning.
Sequencing matters more on a multi-section house than on a simple ranch. We open only what the crew can dry in before dark, do the low-slope sections and their wall terminations before the field above them, and lift siding courses where a flashing belongs behind the wall rather than under it. Nothing is left open overnight, including the ell. The low sections and their wall terminations are finished before the field above them is opened at all.
The part owners find unexpected is that we will often quote less than they asked for. A membrane laid over a porch in the nineties and a laminated field installed in 2012 are on different clocks, and replacing the healthy one to keep the invoice tidy is waste. When we think the field has good years in it we write down how many and why, and we come back later.
What goes back on is stated by name: laminated shingles rated to ASTM D3462, synthetic or felt underlayment as specified, six fasteners per shingle, starter course at eaves and both rakes, new aluminum drip edge, new pipe boots, and a low-slope system chosen against the measured pitch rather than against what was there before. Where a section is membrane its thickness and attachment method are named as well.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a pitch reading taken at every plane with a two-foot level, flat-lock metal pans soldered across a porch field, a granulated modified-bitumen cap sheet lapped onto a porch deck, apron flashing carried up behind the wall course above the roof, kick-out diverters at the low end of every roof-to-wall run, tapered sleepers built up to give a dead-flat ell some fall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Appleton and nearby communities including Grand Chute, Greenville, Harrison, Shawano.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a pitch reading taken at every plane with a two-foot level, flat-lock metal pans soldered across a porch field, a granulated modified-bitumen cap sheet lapped onto a porch deck, apron flashing carried up behind the wall course above the roof, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Appleton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Fox Cities means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Appleton Chooses Appleton Roof Pros
- ✓We put a level on every roof section and write the pitch on the estimate, because the number below 2:12 is what decides whether a shingle is even permitted up there.
- ✓The front porch, the kitchen ell and the back stoop get their own line, their own material and their own price. One figure for the whole address hides the part that is actually failing.
- ✓Where a shallow roof meets a wall we lift a course of siding and put the flashing behind it. Metal slipped under the existing course and caulked along the top edge is the most common defect we find on the pre-1940 blocks.
- ✓We tell owners the main field has years left in it. Quite often the appendage needs doing now and the field does not, and writing that down costs us the bigger sale on purpose.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement work we do in Appleton follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
