Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do Owens Corning roofs last?

    Owens Corning asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, while metal roofing systems can exceed 50 years in Wisconsin's climate with proper installation and maintenance.
  • What causes ice dams in Wisconsin?

    Ice dams form when heat escapes through the roof, melting snow that refreezes at eaves. Poor ventilation and inadequate attic insulation are common causes.
  • When should I replace my siding?

    Replace siding when you notice widespread rot, warped panels, soft spots, or visible mold growth. These indicate moisture infiltration that compromises structural integrity.
  • Do you help with insurance claims?

    Yes, we provide full insurance claim assistance including damage documentation, adjuster communication, and detailed estimates to ensure all eligible repairs are covered.
  • What's better for Wisconsin weather - metal or asphalt?

    Metal roofing sheds snow efficiently and lasts longer, while asphalt shingles offer more color options at lower cost. Both perform well when properly installed.
  • How do I know if hail damaged my roof?

    Look for bruised or cracked shingles, exposed mat, granule loss in gutters, and damaged flashing. Professional inspection after storms documents damage for insurance purposes.
