For Wisconsin homeowners, including those in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, preparing for the state's demanding climate is paramount for roof durability. Harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice can cause significant stress, while warm, humid summers can lead to moisture-related issues and thunderstorms can bring wind and hail damage.
Wisconsin's housing stock includes a variety of styles, often with roofs designed to handle heavy snow loads. Our inspections are thorough, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities specific to this environment. We meticulously check shingles for signs of cracking or uplift from wind, examine flashing around chimneys and vents for any signs of water intrusion, and assess the condition of gutters and downspouts to ensure effective drainage, especially during spring thaw. We also inspect attic ventilation, which is critical for preventing ice dams and managing moisture throughout the year.

Damage caused by normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or ice dams due to poor ventilation may not be covered. We can help document storm-related damage for your insurance claim.
