Racine Roof Pros provides professional roof repair in Racine, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore. Wind off Lake Michigan does not press on a roof evenly. It accelerates around the corners of the house and lifts hardest at the edges, which is why Racine roofs shed covering along a rake or at a corner while the middle of the same plane sits untouched.
The cause is pressure rather than force. Air flowing over an edge separates and leaves a pocket of low pressure above the covering, so the roof is being pulled upward rather than pushed sideways. The center of a plane sees a fraction of what the first few feet of the rake sees, and a house set broadside to the lake sees more of it than one tucked behind a block of neighbors.
Roofing systems are designed around that, which is why edge and corner zones call for a heavier fastening pattern and a properly secured metal edge. A repair that goes back at the rake with the pattern used out in the field is a repair that leaves again in the next November gale, and the homeowner is told the wind was exceptional.
So what we fix on a wind call here is usually the perimeter. The metal edge and its fastener spacing, the starter course and whether it ever bonded, the ridge, and the first courses up from the rake. Wind finds unsealed shingles before it finds anything else, so a roof whose seal strips never took is losing covering at pressures that ought not to matter.
That is also how we judge whether a repair is honest. Damage concentrated at edges and corners above a sound field is real repair work rather than a stalling tactic, because the rest of the plane genuinely is fine. Damage scattered through the middle of every plane says the covering has stopped sealing, and no fastening schedule rescues that. Certificates of liability and workers compensation go out before we start, not when somebody thinks to ask.
Wisconsin requires a Dwelling Contractor certification for a one and two family permit, and we hold it. Wind claims deserve arithmetic before enthusiasm: one damaged slope often lands beneath the deductible, so a claim filed anyway buys a record and nothing else. We measure, photograph and hand you the figure. Where a field has little left we put the replacement price next to the repair and say where we would spend.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, an above-sheathing airspace on a batten and counter-batten grid, two-piece counterflashing set into a ground-out mortar reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Racine and nearby communities including Mount Pleasant, Caledonia, Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof repair
The difference between roof repair that lasts and roof repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, 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 Racine 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 Racine and Kenosha lakeshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Racine Chooses Racine Roof Pros
- ✓We take a moisture reading on the north slope before we quote, because the March number is the one that tells you what the deck has actually been living with
- ✓Any tear-off we install before the middle of May gets its field tabs hand-sealed, because a lakefront spring does not deliver the surface temperature a factory sealant strip needs
- ✓Every coating and sealant proposal carries a written dew point limit and substrate moisture limit, and we reschedule rather than spray when the numbers are wrong
- ✓No recover over an existing low-slope roof without a core cut first, and we hand you the core rather than describing it
