This is a very common issue here. Snow and ice can build up in valleys, around chimneys, and near gutters. As it melts, water can seep under shingles or find tiny cracks in flashing that were sealed when frozen. The freeze-thaw cycle can also worsen existing minor damage. We recommend a professional spring inspection to find and seal these vulnerable points before they lead to major water damage.

Signs inside your home include water stains on ceilings or walls, mold growth in the attic, or a musty smell. Outside, you might see curling or missing shingles. The underlayment is the critical waterproof barrier beneath your shingles. If it's compromised by age, storm damage, or improper installation, water can reach your roof deck and cause rot, even if the shingles look okay. Addressing underlayment issues is key to preventing structural damage.

Look for a roofer experienced with our specific weather patterns. Repairs should use high-quality, ice-and-water shield barriers in critical areas (like eaves and valleys), proper attic ventilation to prevent ice dams, and durable flashing materials. A patch job often fails here. We ensure repairs are integrated with the existing system to withstand heavy snow, wind, and thermal cycling, giving you a solution built for longevity in Wisconsin.
