How does L.H. Krueger help with product selection?
We’re happy to help you find high-quality, long-lasting materials you’ll love for your roofing, siding, and gutter projects. We can color-match shingles, siding, and gutters to your home exterior or help you create a bold new look! With ongoing supply chain disruptions, some materials or colors are more difficult to track down, so our team is staying on top of lead times and can steer you toward options that will be available sooner.
When should I expect a lien waiver and warranty information?
After we’ve received your full payment, it should be about 1-2 weeks until your lien waiver and warranty packet arrives. If you opt to get the upgraded GAF warranty, this will come directly to you (not through L.H. Krueger) in 1-2 months.
How much do home exterior projects cost?
As you might expect, the answer is “it depends”! The variation of pricing depends on the scope of work, the size of the home, and the materials chosen by the homeowner. For example, an average 2,500 square foot ranch might involve the following costs:
- New roof: $20,000-25,000
- New siding: $35,000-40,000
- New gutters: $3,000-4,000
- Repairs and service calls: $250-750

What’s the most common type of color matching for roofing, siding, and gutters?
We often match gutters to a home’s fascia, which is a common choice for homeowners. However, we’re happy to help you select whatever color will be best for your home.
How often should exterior caulking be checked/re-done?
Exterior caulking should be checked on an annual basis. Erratic Wisconsin weather can cause shrinking due to extreme temperature lows and highs, which lead to cracking. Yearly checkups help you catch and fix damage early.
What are some types of materials that L.H. Krueger uses for home exterior projects?
L.H. Krueger is committed to using quality products that stand the test of time. Your home exterior will benefit from industry-leading brands of asphalt shingles, composite or fiber cement siding, and aluminum gutters, siding, and fascia. In addition, we use a high-quality caulk made from silicone of polyurethane.
How can L.H. Krueger help once pests are removed?
While we aren’t able to get rid of pesky critters for you, we can help you after they’re gone! Once a pest has been removed, we can plug any holes it created. Then, we’ll assess your shingles, soffit, fascia, and siding and diagnose any issues the animal may have caused, including deterioration, damage from chewing, or rot due to exposure, so that you can get your home’s exterior good as new again.
How will I know my roof is installed well after the job is finished?
L.H. Krueger is a GAF Certified Master Elite installer, an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and a Certified Green Roofer. Using a team of all employees (no subcontractors) helps us ensure quality workmanship to our homeowners, which we back up with our Limited Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. We encourage you to take a look at your new roof and make sure it’s completed to your satisfaction. If you notice any problems, you can submit a claim through our Workmanship Warranty Program.
How long does it take L.H. Krueger to finish a roofing project?
There are many factors that impact the timeline of any roofing project. Larger roofs, bad weather, or specialty materials can extend your timeline, while being flexible with scheduling and materials selection can fast-track your new roof. On average, a new roof takes 3-4 days to complete. If you’re having additional services done as part of your roofing project, like replacing soffit and fascia or repairing gutters, your entire project will take a few additional days to complete.
What are signs of regular roof aging vs. when to know there might be a problem with my roof?
A standard asphalt shingle roof has an average lifespan of 25-40 years. If your roof is nearing its life expectancy, look for excessive dark streaking, curling shingles, missing shingles, or lots of loose granules. These indicate that it might be time for a re-roof.
How can I prevent ice damming?
Ventilation is the key to preventing ice dams. Almost all ice dams are caused by heat loss into attic spaces. At L.H. Krueger, we carefully consider proper ventilation with every roofing project to prevent ice damming issues before they ever happen.
If roof damming is present, how do I minimize the damage?
We recommend roof raking and ice melt pucks to tackle ice dams. In extreme cases, professional steaming can get the job done, but this can be very expensive. Never use rock salt, which is less effective and can damage shingle nails, masonry, and even your landscaping beds.
What different types of roof ventilation should be present and why?
At the peak of your roof, there needs to be a mushroom-style or ridge vent. At the eaves, there can be a soffit vent or a shingle over intake along the gutter line. Proper ventilation helps regulate your roof’s temperature, keeping ice dams at bay.
How and when do I need to clean my shingles?
Generally, we recommend cleaning your shingles once per year. Shingles should never be cleaned with a pressure washer–a regular garden hose will do the trick! If algae and or moss are present, several DIY products are quite effective and available at your local big-box store. For more information, check out our blog post: What Causes Roof Stains?
I have gutter guards. Why are there so many icicles?
Small icicles form when the snow on top of the black gutter guard melts and the touches aluminum gutter. This is actually a good thing, and it’s part of why Raindrop gutter guards are a great product. Metal gutter guards, by comparison, just stay frozen up and cause problems.
Does L.H. Krueger clean gutters?
We do not offer gutter cleaning services. There are many reputable companies in Southeast Wisconsin that we would be happy to recommend for gutter cleaning.
