Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fond du Lac require permits for roof replacement?

Yes. The City of Fond du Lac requires building permits for roofing and siding work. We file the permit, schedule inspections, and coordinate with the city.

What materials work best in Wisconsin winters?

Architectural asphalt shingles and metal roofing rated for wind, snow, and freeze-thaw stress. We recommend impact-resistant materials for hail protection.

How do I know if my roof has ice dam damage?

Look for water stains on ceiling or walls near the roofline. Ice dams form when warm attic air melts snow at the roof edge, then water freezes at the gutters and backs up into shingles.

Can I work on my roof in winter?

Winter roofing is possible but difficult and requires special safety gear. Spring and fall are safer and more efficient. We can assess urgent winter damage and plan spring work.

Are there rules for siding in historic neighborhoods?

Yes. South Main, North Main, and Linden Street historic districts require material and style approval. We know the guidelines and help you choose compliant options.

What should I expect during a roof or siding inspection?

We walk the exterior, look for damage, check flashing and sealing, take photos, and explain what we found. This takes 30-45 minutes and gives you a clear picture of needs and priorities.
