Racine Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Racine, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore. The wind that damages roofs in Racine often arrives off the water, which is unusual for Wisconsin. Most of the state takes its worst gusts from the west with dry air behind them. Here a strong easterly comes in loaded with moisture and drives it under every edge it lifts.
A lifted tab is not automatically a lost tab. On a warm roof the shingle lies back down and the sealant strip re-bonds within a few sunny days. On a Racine roof in October or April the shingle surface never reaches the temperature that adhesive needs, so the tab stays proud and the next rain goes straight underneath it. A roof can lose its wind rating without losing a single shingle.
That is why we walk the entire field after a wind event rather than only the obviously bare spots. We lift tabs by hand along both rakes, across the ridge and through the first three courses above the eave, and we mark every one that comes up with no resistance at all. Those are next year's leaks, and they cost a fraction to fix now.
We chalk each one and photograph it, so you see the pattern rather than take our word for a count. Repairs get hand-sealed as a matter of course. Six dabs of asphalt roof cement under each tab, pressed down firmly, on anything we repair outside the warm months. It is a small step that most crews skip and it is the whole difference between a repair that holds through a lakefront winter and one that reopens in February.
Edges matter more than the field. Most wind failures we trace start at a rake or an eave, where the starter course was cut backward or the drip edge was left off entirely. Once an edge lifts, the wind has a lever. We install proper starter strip with the factory sealant at the edge, and metal drip on every rake and eave.
If shingles have gone brittle enough that lifting one breaks three more, a repair stops being honest and we will tell you so. Brittleness is an age and heat-cycling problem rather than a wind problem, and on a roof in that condition a slope replacement costs less across five years than four service calls will. We will price both so the comparison is in front of you rather than in our heads.
Our licensed and 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 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 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
