What This Means for Milwaukee Homeowners

Large Hail History

Hailstones 2.25" or larger have been recorded in Milwaukee. This size causes significant shingle damage including cracking, granule loss, and bruising that shortens roof life. If your roof is 10+ years old and has been through one of these storms, damage is likely.

Severe Wind Zone

Winds of 86 mph have been recorded in Milwaukee. Standard 3-tab shingles are rated for only 60 mph. We recommend upgrading to architectural shingles (130 mph rated) or Owens Corning Duration STORM for maximum protection.

Wisconsin Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Milwaukee experiences 120+ freeze-thaw cycles per year, 45" of annual snowfall, and 130°F temperature swings. These conditions accelerate roof aging by 15-25% compared to national averages.
