What roofs face in Wisconsin
- Snow & ice dams
- Hail
- High wind & severe storms
Ice dams and snow load
Cold winters with snow cover lasting for weeks make ice dams a top concern. Air sealing, insulation and eave ice barrier prevent most of them.
Hail and summer storms
Summer storms bring hail and straight-line winds, damaging shingles and metal farm roofs.
Older city housing
Milwaukee duplexes and bungalows often have dormers and chimneys that require careful flashing during re-roofs.
Lake Michigan shoreline
Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan and Green Bay sit near Lake Michigan, where wind off the lake and lake-effect snow add stress on roof edges and flashing. Older homes near the shore also tend to have masonry chimneys and dormers that need careful flashing work at re-roof.
