Why Do Hudson Roofs Need Regular Maintenance?
Hudson roofs need regular maintenance because snow, ice dams, hail and summer storms wear them in small ways long before the whole roof fails, and a small fault left alone becomes a leak. Ice dams push meltwater back up under the shingles at the eaves, and a poorly vented attic lets moisture build up under the deck, which can make shingles buckle and the decking rot.
Most of that damage is cheap to fix when it is found early: a few shingles, a length of flashing, a cracked vent boot. Left for a few seasons, the same water reaches the insulation, ceilings and walls, and a repair becomes a roof leak repair with drywall to replace.
Worn-out roof?
Insurance won't pay
In Wisconsin a roof that is simply worn out is the owner's cost to replace, and an insurer can refuse to renew a policy because of it.
What We Check on a Hudson Roof Maintenance Visit
On a Hudson roof maintenance visit we check the shingles, the flashing, the vents and attic, the gutters and the eaves, then tell you what we found and what, if anything, needs fixing. Any repair is priced and agreed with you before we do it.
- 1
Shingles
We look for missing, cracked, curling or lifted shingles and for hail or wind damage on every slope.
- 2
Flashing
Chimneys, valleys, skylights and every other roof opening need flashing, so we check the flashing and sealant around each one.
- 3
Vents and Attic
We check the roof vents and look in the attic for damp decking, frost, stains and blocked airflow.
- 4
Eaves and Ice Dam Signs
Stained soffits or rotted decking at the roof edge point to ice dams, which our ice dam prevention work deals with at the source.
- 5
Gutters, Moss and Debris
Clogged gutters stop meltwater and rain draining off the roof edge, and moss or debris on the shingles hides what is under it, so we note what needs clearing.

When Should Hudson Homeowners Have Their Roof Checked?
Hudson homeowners should have their roof checked after a hard winter, after any hailstorm or windstorm, and before the snow arrives in fall. Winter is when ice dams form at the eaves, and hail is most frequent in Wisconsin from May to July, with June the peak month.
A spring check finds what the ice and snow did, and a fall check makes sure the flashing, vents and gutters are ready for the roughly 45 to 50 inches of snow the area sees in a typical year. After a storm, the sooner damage is found the sooner it can be documented for an insurance claim.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover a Neglected Hudson Roof?
Homeowners insurance in Wisconsin does not pay to replace a roof that is simply worn out, and neglect is one of the common exclusions in a policy. Covered storm damage, such as hail or wind, is paid for the part of the roof it damaged, minus your deductible.
Insurers can also refuse to renew a policy because of a home's condition, including a worn-out roof, though some give the owner six months to a year to make repairs. Keeping the receipts for maintenance and repairs gives you a record of the roof's condition before a storm.
Roof Maintenance FAQs
How Often Should a Hudson Roof Be Inspected?
A Hudson roof is worth inspecting after every hard winter and after any hailstorm or windstorm, and once a year makes sense on an older roof. A spring check after the snow melts catches most ice dam damage.
Can You Fix Small Problems During a Maintenance Visit?
Small problems such as a few loose shingles or a cracked vent boot are priced on the visit, and we fix them once you have agreed the price. Bigger repairs are written up and scheduled.
Does Roof Maintenance Make a Roof Last Longer?
Roof maintenance catches leaks, blocked vents and ice dam damage early, and poor attic ventilation and ice dams are two of the things that shorten a roof's life in a cold climate. It cannot stop shingles aging, so a 3-tab roof near 20 years old or an architectural roof near 30 will still need replacing.
Is Moss on My Roof a Problem?
Moss on a roof is worth clearing so the shingles under it can be checked and any damage found. Our roof cleaning and moss removal handles both.
Do You Check the Attic as Well as the Roof?
We check the attic on a maintenance visit, because damp decking, frost and stains there show problems before they reach your ceilings. A poorly vented attic can shorten the life of the whole roof.
