Oshkosh Premium Roofing provides professional roof leak repair in Oshkosh, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Lake Winnebago basin. The most useful question we ask on a leak call is not about the roof at all. It is which way the wind was blowing the last time your ceiling got wet. On this shore, that one answer narrows the search further than an hour of walking the slopes does.
Here is why. A roof that stays dry through a long soaking rain and then wets a ceiling during a shorter, windier one is not usually holed. It is taking water horizontally, at speed, on a plane that has ten to thirty miles of open lake upwind of it, and the water is being pushed back through laps and flashings that gravity by itself would never move it through.
That failure mode has a signature. The stain appears fast, dries out within a day or two, and comes back only on certain storms. A conventional hole leaks on any rain at all, keeps leaking after it stops, and usually grows a little each time. Telling those two apart at the ceiling saves you money before anybody opens anything up, and it is free to do.
It also changes how the roof gets tested. Running a hose down a slope tests what gravity does, and gravity is not the load in question. We test upward: water directed up under butt edges, up the vertical leg of a sidewall flashing, up under drip edge and back at head flashings, one zone at a time with somebody watching inside and calling it.
What we find is usually a detail rather than a defect. Step flashing with a vertical leg shorter than the shingle exposure beside it. A counterflashing surface-caulked onto brick instead of let into a raked joint. A drip edge run over the trough instead of behind it. A ridge or gable opening pointed straight at open water. Those are repairs, not replacements, and we price them that way.
We also close leak calls with nothing sold, several times a season. If the roof is intact and water is arriving through saturated chimney masonry, through a wall above the roofline, or around a window head, a roofer billing you for shingle work is billing for the wrong trade. We will say which trade you need and hand you a name for it.
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.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 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, 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 Oshkosh 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 Lake Winnebago basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

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

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
