Most residential roofs in Wisconsin are designed for 20–40 lbs per square foot of snow load depending on local codes. Wet snow weighs significantly more than dry snow. If you notice ceiling cracks, sticking doors, or visible ridge deflection after heavy snowfall in Orfordville, call us immediately — these are signs of structural stress.

Gutters should be cleaned at minimum twice a year — once after spring pollen and budding season, and once after fall leaf drop. Homes with heavy tree coverage may need three to four cleanings annually.

Gutter cleaning is a manageable DIY task for most homeowners with a stable ladder, proper footwear, and attention to safety. If the gutters are high, the pitch is steep, or the home is multi-story, professional cleaning is the safer choice.

Gutter guards are covers or inserts designed to keep debris out of gutters while allowing water through. Quality micro-mesh guards significantly reduce cleaning frequency. No gutter guard eliminates cleaning entirely, but good ones extend the interval substantially.

Zinc sulfate or copper-based solution applied to the roof surface kills moss effectively. Rinse gently after treatment — don't pressure wash, which removes granules. Trimming overhanging branches that deposit organic material and shade the roof reduces recurrence.

Pressure washing asphalt shingles removes granules and can void warranties. Low-pressure soft washing with appropriate cleaning solutions is the safe method for cleaning algae and biological growth. Tile and metal roofs have different protocols.

Algae-resistant shingles with zinc or copper granules are the most effective prevention at installation. On existing roofs, zinc strips installed at the ridge release zinc oxide during rain events that inhibits algae. Annual application of diluted zinc sulfate solution treats existing growth.

After. Roofing work deposits debris — granules, old flashing material, fasteners — that will clog gutters if they aren't cleaned after the project. Build post-project gutter cleaning into any scope that involves significant surface work.

A roof maintenance plan is an annual or biennial service agreement with a roofing contractor covering inspection, minor repairs, gutter service, and documented condition reporting. Plans extend service life and ensure early identification of developing issues.

Gutters that are pulling away from the fascia, visibly sagging between hangers, rusting through, or separating at seams should be replaced. Gutters that need rehanging in multiple locations are past cost-effective repair.

Metal roof maintenance includes annual inspection of sealant at penetrations and transitions, checking for paint or coating damage that could allow corrosion, and clearing debris from valleys. Exposed fastener systems need fastener inspection and resealing more frequently than concealed fastener systems.

Flat roof maintenance requires semi-annual inspection of membrane seams and penetrations, keeping drains clear of debris, checking for ponding water areas, and addressing any membrane punctures or seam separations before they allow infiltration.

Tile roofs need annual inspection for cracked or displaced tiles, assessment of the underlayment condition (which ages faster than tile), cleaning to prevent biological growth on the tile surface, and periodic mortar inspection at ridges and hips.
