A roof is one of the most significant investments you will make in your home. It protects your family, preserves your property, and contributes to overall curb appeal. When the time comes for a replacement, the materials you choose will determine not only how your roof looks, but also how well it performs in the decades to come. At Advocate Contracting, we focus exclusively on replacements and specialize in premium roofing materials that provide both long-term durability and timeless style.

Boost Curb Appeal & Comfort Replacing your home’s exterior is a major investment, but it is also one of the most rewarding improvements you can make. A new roof, siding, or set of energy-efficient windows not only enhances your property’s appearance but also increases comfort, safety, and value. At Advocate Contracting, we focus exclusively on replacements, which means we have the experience and processes to ensure that every project is completed smoothly and efficiently. If you are preparing for an exterior replacement, here is what you can expect from start to finish.

As the cooler months arrive, homeowners begin to notice drafts, rising heating costs, and the strain of outdated windows. Replacing old windows with modern, energy-efficient models in the fall is one of the best investments you can make in your home. At Advocate Contracting, we specialize in window replacements that not only enhance comfort but also protect your budget throughout the cold season.

How Coordinated Exterior Projects Save You Time and Money Exterior home improvements are significant investments, and the timing of each project can have a direct impact on both cost and performance. While many homeowners choose to replace a roof, siding, or windows separately, coordinating these upgrades into one comprehensive project offers substantial long-term benefits. Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services, with nearly five decades of experience in complete exterior replacements, has seen firsthand how combining these services leads to stronger results, improved efficiency, and enhanced property value.

Why Fall is the Best Time for Exterior Upgrades In the Midwest, summer doesn’t last forever. As the days get shorter and the air cools, it is the perfect time to start thinking about how well your home’s exterior will hold up through the months ahead. Winter brings freezing temperatures , snow, ice, and strong winds, all of which can expose weak points in your home’s protective shell. If your roof, siding, windows, soffit, fascia, or gutters are aging or showing signs of wear, now is the right time to plan a full replacement. Waiting until winter hits is often too late. That’s why homeowners who act early not only protect their homes but also avoid the stress, expense, and discomfort of mid-winter damage. Here’s why fall is the ideal season to move forward with replacement work and why high-quality materials and expert installation make all the difference.

The Hidden Cost of Cheap Roof Bids When it comes to major home improvements like roof replacement, most homeowners face a familiar dilemma: how to balance quality with affordability. While it’s tempting to go with the lowest quote, especially on a project as expensive as a new roof, the reality is that the cheapest option is rarely the best one and, in many cases, it ends up being the most expensive in the long run. At Advocate Contracting, we focus exclusively on replacement, not patchwork or quick fixes. We work with homeowners across the Midwest who expect long-term performance, not short-term savings. Here’s why you should think twice before choosing the lowest roofing bid.

Key to a Strong Roof and Home Protection When homeowners think about exterior maintenance, they often focus on the big-ticket items: roofing, siding, windows. But soffits and fascia, though less talked about, play a crucial role in the health and longevity of your home. If these components are damaged or deteriorating, they can compromise the integrity of your roofing system and leave your home vulnerable to moisture, pests, and rot. At Advocate Contracting, we specialize in full exterior replacement services, including soffits and fascia. As the Midwest heads toward cooler weather, now is the time to assess their condition and take action before winter brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.

Gutter Ma  intenance Made Easy with the Right Guards Gutters serve a vital role in protecting your home from water damage, but keeping them clear is a recurring (and often dangerous) chore. Homeowners in the Midwest know the drill: leaves, pine needles, seed pods, and other debris can quickly clog gutters, leading to overflow, rot, mold, and foundation problems. Gutter guards are marketed as a solution, but many homeowners still wonder: do they actually work? The short answer is yes . When professionally installed and properly matched to your home, gutter guards are one of the most effective ways to reduce maintenance and protect your home’s structural integrity.

The Hidden Costs of Failing Siding When most homeowners think about siding, they think about appearances — color, texture, curb appeal . But siding has a far more important role than aesthetics. It’s your home’s first line of defense against wind, rain, snow, and temperature extremes. When siding begins to fail, it can allow moisture to penetrate the exterior shell of your house, leading to hidden and expensive damage behind the surface.  At Advocate Contracting & Restoration Services, we replace aging siding systems throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. We have seen firsthand how undetected water infiltration can compromise a home’s structural integrity — and how addressing it early can prevent thousands in future repairs. Here’s what you need to know.
