About Windlickers Roofing & Exteriors — Oconomowoc's Family-Owned Roofer Since 1996
Waukesha County, Jefferson County, Washington County & Surrounding Areas
1996
A Family Business Built on Showing Up Right Every Time
Windlickers Roofing & Exteriors was founded in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin in 1996 by Michael Fabian — and it has been a family-owned business every single day since. That is not a marketing line. It means that Michael is personally involved in every project, that his reputation is on the line with every job, and that the people on your roof are not subcontractors assembled for the week but a team that has been working together for years.
We started as a roofing contractor and grew into the full exterior contractor we are today because our homeowners kept asking. They trusted us on the roof, so they called us for the siding. They trusted us on the siding, so they called us for the gutters. The referral-driven growth tells you more about the quality of our work than anything we could say about ourselves.
Why Family-Owned Makes a Difference for Your Project
When you hire a family-owned contractor, accountability looks different. There is no corporate structure insulating the owner from your experience. Michael's name and phone number are on every estimate. When the project is done, he calls to make sure you are satisfied. When something needs to be corrected, he is the one making it right.
Michael personally oversees every project— you are not handing your home to a crew managed by someone who has never met you
We do not subcontract your roof— the same team that gives you the estimate does the work
Your satisfaction is personal to us— a poor review in a community this size affects real people, not a brand
We are your long-term contractor— once you work with Windlickers, Mike knows your house and its history
28 years in Waukesha County— this is our community, not just our market
Honest assessments every time— we tell you what your home needs, not what creates the biggest sale
No pressure sales tactics— estimates are free, no obligation, and written clearly
We show up when we say we will— simple, but homeowners tell us this sets us apart

What Homeowners Say
“I was very impressed with the quality of the workmanship. My house stands out in the neighborhood. The job was done very quickly with very little disruption. They are very professional, and the cleanup was very immaculate. I don't normally do reviews, but I was very impressed with the workmanship — would recommend them.”
“We were looking for a roofing company we could trust. Out of the four companies we met with, Mike was the only one who truly seemed to care about our concerns. He answered all of our questions — and then some. Everything went very well with our roof and gutter installation. We are so happy we chose Windlickers Roofing. It was truly the best decision we could have made.”
