Oshkosh Roof Inspections — Residential & Commercial

Oshkosh Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections in Oshkosh, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Lake Winnebago basin. An inspection here should start on the side of the house nobody photographs, and it should start indoors. Beginning at the street elevation is how a lakeward plane carrying six years of driven water gets written up as being in fair condition.

We work each plane as a separate record. Exposure measured rather than estimated. Headlap checked against what the product actually calls for. Seal condition tested by hand along the rake and the eave. Flashing vertical legs measured against the shingle exposure sitting beside them. Drip edge checked for whether it runs over or behind the gutter trough, which is the single detail most often wrong on this shore.

Inside, we look for the evidence the roof surface will never give up. Darkened sheathing edges, staining on the inboard face of a fascia board, a shadow line where a sidewall meets a roof plane, rusted nail shanks in one rafter bay and not in its neighbors. Driven water writes its record under the deck for years before anything at all shows on top of it, which is why an inspection that never leaves the ladder misses it.

Timing is part of the method too. The best stretch of the whole year to read a lakeward plane is when the lake has frozen over, because that shallow water ices in most winters and the driven-water load simply stops for several weeks together. A slope inspected then is being read in a settled state rather than mid-cycle. We schedule condition surveys into that window deliberately and price them no differently.

Every inspection produces a written report with dated photographs organized by plane, the measurements written in beside them, and one plain sentence per plane saying what we think and how confident we are about it. It is yours to keep and to hand to the next bidder. We would rather be compared on the roof than on the phone.

We charge nothing for it, and we tell people to spend nothing far more often than the trade average does. A roof with eight years left in it is a roof with eight years left in it. Writing that down costs us a job today and earns us the call on the day it genuinely needs one, which in this business is the better trade.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — reduced shingle exposure on the lakeward planes, gutter apron tucked behind the trough and over the fascia, self-adhered ice barrier carried the full run of a lakeward slope, step flashing formed with a taller vertical leg than the shingle exposure, two-piece counterflashing bedded in a raked masonry joint, hemmed rake metal with a closed end at the eave return — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Oshkosh and nearby communities including Fond du Lac, North Fond du Lac, Taycheedah, Black Wolf.

What We Handle

Why Oshkosh Chooses Oshkosh Premium Roofing

• ✓We ask what direction the wind was blowing when you saw the stain, because on this shore that answer separates a driven-water path from an actual hole faster than an hour on the roof does
• ✓Hose testing is done up the slope and up the wall, never just straight down, since water that entered sideways will not reproduce under a test that respects gravity
• ✓We will quote two planes rather than four when the lakeward side is spent and the street side is not, and we will tell you plainly what a two-plane roof costs you in color match
• ✓Underlayment run and headlap are line items you can compare between bidders, not assumptions folded into a price per square
