Appleton Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Appleton, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Fox Cities. Wind takes roofs apart at the edges, and on this housing stock the edges are the oldest part of the assembly. The field may have been redone twice. The metal at the perimeter of the porch and the ell is very often still original.
That matters because a low, wide, attached roof is almost all perimeter. A porch eight feet deep and thirty feet across has an enormous ratio of edge to field, and edge is where uplift concentrates. Once the edge metal lifts, the membrane or the cap sheet behind it peels back in a single sheet rather than losing a shingle here and there. That ratio is what makes the perimeter the whole story here.
So our wind assessment reads the perimeter first: the fastening pattern in the edge metal, whether the membrane was stripped in over it or merely laid to it, the condition of the termination bar at the wall, and whether the corners were detailed at all. Corners fail before runs do and they are the piece most commonly skipped. We also check whether that edge metal was ever fastened into anything solid.
On the shingle field the work is more familiar. We look for creased tabs, unsealed strips along the rakes, exposed fasteners and starter course that was never installed at the rake in the first place, which is a common and expensive shortcut. Creased shingles that have not yet blown off still count as damaged and we photograph them. Rake starter is the piece most often missing.
Repairs get made to the current standard rather than back to what was there. That means new drip edge fastened at the specified spacing, membrane edges stripped in properly, starter at every rake, and six nails per shingle in the replacement area. Matching a bad original detail because it is what the rest of the roof has is how the same repair gets made twice.
We do turn down wind claims we do not believe in. Shingles that lifted because they never sealed in a cold-weather install are an installation defect, not a wind loss, and a carrier will read it that way too. We will tell you which one you have and, where it is an install defect, whether the original workmanship warranty still has time left on it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a pitch reading taken at every plane with a two-foot level, flat-lock metal pans soldered across a porch field, a granulated modified-bitumen cap sheet lapped onto a porch deck, apron flashing carried up behind the wall course above the roof, kick-out diverters at the low end of every roof-to-wall run, tapered sleepers built up to give a dead-flat ell some fall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Appleton and nearby communities including Grand Chute, Greenville, Harrison, Shawano.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a pitch reading taken at every plane with a two-foot level, flat-lock metal pans soldered across a porch field, a granulated modified-bitumen cap sheet lapped onto a porch deck, apron flashing carried up behind the wall course above the roof, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Appleton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Fox Cities means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Appleton Chooses Appleton Roof Pros
- ✓We put a level on every roof section and write the pitch on the estimate, because the number below 2:12 is what decides whether a shingle is even permitted up there.
- ✓The front porch, the kitchen ell and the back stoop get their own line, their own material and their own price. One figure for the whole address hides the part that is actually failing.
- ✓Where a shallow roof meets a wall we lift a course of siding and put the flashing behind it. Metal slipped under the existing course and caulked along the top edge is the most common defect we find on the pre-1940 blocks.
- ✓We tell owners the main field has years left in it. Quite often the appendage needs doing now and the field does not, and writing that down costs us the bigger sale on purpose.
