Your Lake Tomahawk Roofing Experts
A significant portion of homes in Lake Tomahawk were built between 1955 and 1985 — a period when roofing materials and installation standards were different from today's code requirements. The original organic felt underlayment on these roofs is long past its service life. The galvanized steel flashing has typically corroded through at one or more points. The 3-tab shingles, if original, have exceeded their design life by a decade or more. We've inspected enough Oneida County homes from this era to know what we're likely to find — and what it means for the homeowner.
We've been working in Lake Tomahawk and the surrounding area long enough to have re-roofed homes we originally inspected years ago. That continuity is what local reputation looks like in practice.
Census data puts Lake Tomahawk's median home build year at 1978, meaning the average roof in Oneida County is now 48 years old. Most roofing warranties — both manufacturer and labor — carry terms of 10–30 years. At 48 years, many Lake Tomahawk homeowners are operating outside warranty coverage without knowing it. A current inspection establishes your roof's actual condition and remaining service life in writing.
