FAQs
My roof is original to my 1981 Springdale Center home. Should I be worried?
A 45-year-old architectural asphalt roof has exceeded its functional lifespan. On 1/2 inch CDX plywood, the constant moisture absorption and UV cycling in our climate have likely compromised the decking's nail-holding power. The shingles themselves are brittle, and the underlayment is certainly degraded, increasing the risk of leaks during the next heavy rain.
What are the current code requirements for a roof replacement in Dane County?
Dane County Planning and Development requires a permit, and the contractor must be licensed by the WI DSPS. The 2015 IRC with state amendments now mandates ice and water shield in all valleys and along eaves, plus specific step flashing offsets at wall intersections. These are critical for warranty validation and long-term performance.
My homeowner's insurance premium just jumped again. Can my roof help?
Yes. Wisconsin's 14% average premium increase is directly tied to storm losses. Installing an IBHS FORTIFIED Home-rated roof, which Wisconsin incentivizes, demonstrates superior resilience to insurers. This often results in a measurable policy discount, as you are actively reducing the carrier's risk of a future wind or hail claim.
A tree limb just punctured my roof and it's actively leaking. What's your emergency response?
Our priority is to mitigate water damage. We dispatch a crew from the Springdale Town Hall area to take US-18/151, typically arriving within 35-45 minutes for a critical tarping operation. The goal is to securely cover the breach, protect your interior, and provide a dry-out assessment to prevent mold in the attic and decking.
What does the 115 mph wind rating for Springdale mean for my shingles?
ASCE 7-22 designates our area for 115 mph Vult winds, requiring specific nailing patterns and high-wind rated shingles. For financial durability against our May-August severe storms, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are recommended. They resist hail damage, which is a primary trigger for insurance claims and subsequent premium hikes.
Should I consider solar shingles instead of traditional asphalt when I replace my roof?
With Springdale's net metering through Alliant Energy and the 30% federal tax credit, solar is financially viable. However, integrated solar shingles are a premium product. For most homes, a new, code-compliant architectural asphalt roof with proper conduit chases for future rack-mounted panels offers greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness in 2026.
My roof looks fine from the ground. Do I still need a professional inspection?
A visual inspection can miss critical failures. We combine it with infrared moisture scanning to detect sub-surface wetness in the plywood decking and insulation that is invisible to the eye. This technology is essential for identifying trapped moisture from minor leaks before it causes structural rot or mold.
I have mold in my attic but no roof leaks. What's the cause?
This is a classic sign of poor ventilation on your steep 8/12 gable roof. Warm, moist air from the house becomes trapped, condensing on the cold roof sheathing. The 2015 IRC, as amended by Wisconsin, mandates a balanced system of soffit intake and ridge exhaust to prevent this moisture damage and preserve the roof structure.
