Synthetic Shake
Roofing
Synthetic and composite shake roofing gives you the look of natural cedar or slate (the material Lake Country's classic homes are known for) without the maintenance, rot risk, or fire rating limitations of real wood. LeFever Roofing installs DaVinci Roofscapes and Brava composite roofing, both engineered specifically to replicate high- end natural materials.
The Benifits
Why Homeowners Choose Synthetic Shake
Class A Fire Rating
Class A fire rating, unlike untreated natural cedar.
Rot & Insect Resistant
Resists rot, insects, and splitting: no re-treating or staining required.
Consistent Color
& Shape
Consistent color and shape across every piece, since it's manufactured rather than cut from raw timber.
Longer Warranties
Typically backed by longer manufacturer warranties (often 50 years limited) than natural wood shake.
Lightweight Design
Lighter weight than natural slate, with far less structural reinforcement required.
What We Do
Our Synthetic Shake Services
New Installation
New installation of DaVinci and Brava synthetic shake and slate-look roofing.
Panel Repair
Repair of damaged synthetic shake panels, matched to your existing roof.
Full Replacement
Full replacement when transitioning from natural cedar or an aging roof to a lower-maintenance material.
Worth a Conversation
If you love the look of cedar shake but want to spend less time maintaining it, this is worth a conversation; we install both and can walk you through the real tradeoffs for your home.

Storm and Hail
Damage Roofing
Hail and high winds can damage a roof in ways that aren't visible from the ground. Following storms across Hartland, Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, and the surrounding Lake Country area, LeFever Roofing helps homeowners get a clear, honest read on their roof's condition and the documentation to support an insurance claim if one is warranted.
What to Look For
Signs of Hail or Wind Damage

dented shingles.
Granule Loss
Granule loss exposing the
underlying shingle mat.
Wind-Lifted Shingles
Lifted, curled, or missing shingles after high winds.
Dented Gutters &
Flashing
Dented gutters, vents, or flashing: often the
first visible clue.
Delayed Leaks
Leaks that appear weeks or months after the storm itself.
How We Inspect
Our Storm Damage Inspection

Insurance Support
Help With the
Insurance Process
Not sure whether your damage warrants a claim? We'll walk you through it. Once you contact your insurance carrier and give them our information, we coordinate directly with your adjuster, provide the documentation they need, and answer questions throughout the process. We don't promise claim outcomes, since insurance decisions are the carrier's call, but we make sure you have accurate information to make yours.

Residential Roof
Replacement
When a roof is beyond patching due to widespread shingle failure, repeated leaks, or simply old age, a full replacement protects your home and is usually more cost-effective long-term than another round of repairs. LeFever Roofing has replaced residential roofs across Hartland, Oconomowoc, and Pewaukee for 25 years.
When It's Time
Signs You Need a Roof Replacement
Aging Roof
Your roof is 20+ years old (asphalt) or showing widespread wear
regardless of age.
Widespread Shingle
Failure
Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing across multiple sections of the roof.
Repeated Repairs
You've had two or more repairs in the last two years for different issues.
Heavy Granule Loss
Granules are collecting heavily in your gutters, exposing bare shingle mat.
Daylight in the Attic
You can see daylight through the roof deck from
inside the attic.
Every Replacement
What's Included
Tear-Off & Disposal
Full tear-off and responsible disposal of your
old roofing material.
Deck Inspection & Repair
Deck inspection and repair of any rot or damage found underneath, before it's covered up, not after.
Ice-and-Water Shield
Ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, sized for Wisconsin winters.
Attic Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation (ridge and soffit venting) to prevent ice dams and extend shingle life.
Certified Installation
Manufacturer-certified installation of
your chosen material.
Labor & Material Warranty
A 3 to 25-year labor warranty, plus the manufacturer's material warranty.
Planning Your Project
Materials, Cost & Financing
What It Costs
Every estimate is free, written, and based on an actual roof measurement and inspection, not a drive-by guess. Cost depends on roof size, pitch, number of layers to remove, and material chosen; asphalt shingle replacements are the most affordable option, while cedar shake, metal, and copper run higher given material and labor.
Materials We Install
Asphalt shingle, cedar shake and synthetic shake (CSSB-certified), standing seam and metal roofing, and premium options including copper. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs in cost, lifespan, and appearance for your specific home.
Financing Available
Flexible monthly payment options through Acorn Finance, with a soft credit check that won't affect your score.

Residential Roof
Repair
Not every roof problem means a full replacement. LeFever Roofing diagnoses the actual cause of a leak or damaged area, not just the symptom, and repairs it correctly the first time, so you're not calling us back for the same issue next season.
What We Fix
Common Repairs We Handle
Active Leaks
Active leaks and water stains on ceilings or in the attic.
Wind-Damaged Shingles
Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles after wind.
Failing Flashing
Damaged or failing flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes.
Valley Leaks
Valley leaks where two roof sections meet.
Ice Dam Damage
Ice dam damage along eaves: common after a
Wisconsin winter.
Isolated Storm Damage
Isolated storm or hail damage that doesn't
require a full reroof.
Four Steps
Our Repair Process
Inspect
We find the actual source of the leak or damage, not just where the water showed up inside.
Diagnose
We tell you plainly whether a repair will hold or whether you're better off with a replacement, in writing.
Repair
Using materials that match your existing roof wherever possible.
Document
Photos and notes provided, useful if you later need them for an insurance claim.
Fast Response
Emergency and Same-
Season Repairs
A leak doesn't wait for a convenient time. Call us and we'll prioritize active leaks and storm-related damage to prevent interior water damage from spreading while a longer-term fix is scheduled.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingle, and for many
homeowners it pays for itself in longevity; a properly installed metal
roof commonly lasts 40 to 70 years with very little maintenance.
LeFever Roofing installs standing seam and metal shingle systems
built for Wisconsin's snow load and temperature swings.
Built for Our Climate
Why Metal Roofing Works Well in Wisconsin
Sheds Snow
Sheds snow more effectively than shingle roofs, reducing ice dam risk.
Reflects Summer Heat
Reflects summer heat, which can lower cooling costs.
Wind & Impact
Resistant
Resists wind uplift and impact better than most
asphalt products.
Class A Fire Rating
Non-combustible, and typically qualifies for a Class A fire rating.
Low Maintenance
Minimal maintenance over its service life compared to shingle or wood roofing.
Done Right
Installation, Repairs & Replacement
Installation Done Right
Metal roofing has a low tolerance for installation mistakes; improper fastening or panel alignment leads to leaks and premature wear that are expensive to fix later. Our crews follow manufacturer-specified fastening patterns, seam sealing, and thermal-expansion allowances so your roof performs the way it's supposed to for decades.
Repairs and Replacement
We also repair damaged panels, seams, and flashing on existing metal roofs, and handle full replacement when an older metal or shingle roof needs to come off.

Cedar Shake
Roofing
Cedar shake is a natural material that ages into a distinctive silvery patina, offers real insulating value, and suits the architecture of Lake Country's older and higher-end homes better than almost anything else on the market.
It's also unforgiving of a bad installation; improper ventilation or underlayment shortens its life dramatically. LeFever Roofing is a Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau (CSSB) certified installer, and cedar is the material we're most known for in this market.
Why Certification
Matters for Cedar
CSSB certification means our crews are trained specifically in the spacing, fastening, and ventilation techniques cedar shake requires, details that determine whether a cedar roof lasts 15 years or 30+. It's also frequently a requirement for the strongest manufacturer and labor warranties on cedar systems.
What We Do
Our Cedar Shake Services
New Installation
New cedar shake installation, including proper breathable underlayment and ventilation.
Cedar Shake Repair
Cedar shake repair: replacing damaged or curled shakes without disturbing the surrounding roof.
Full Replacement
Full cedar shake replacement when a roof has reached the end of its service life.
What to Expect
25–30 Years in
Our Climate
Properly installed and ventilated, a cedar shake roof in our climate typically lasts 25–30 years. Cost runs higher than asphalt given material and labor, reflecting the skill required to install it correctly; every estimate is free and specific to your roof.

Asphalt Shingle
Roofing
Your asphalt roof can do more than match the color of your home. The shingle you choose affects its texture, architectural character, and performance.

curb appeal.
Owens Corning

Our Approach
Choosing, Installing & Maintaining

We follow the installation requirements for your selected roofing system.
Choosing Your Asphalt Shingle
We will walk you through the differences in appearance, material, and cost for your home. Compare architectural options, flexible polymer-modified shingles, and luxury shake- or slate-inspired profiles before deciding. Available colors and product-specific warranty coverage can be reviewed with your estimate.
Repair or Full Replacement
If your asphalt roof has isolated damage, we will assess whether a targeted repair is appropriate. If it is reaching the end of its service life or has widespread wear,we will walk you through a full replacementwith
a free written estimate.

How to Know What
Your Roof Needs
Missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight in the attic, or a roof
older than 20 years are all signs it's worth a free inspection. We'll tell you honestly whether
you need a repair or a full replacement; we don't upsell jobs you don't need.
