Oshkosh Premium Roofing provides professional roof replacement in Oshkosh, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Lake Winnebago basin. Most roofs in this city do not wear out evenly at all. The plane facing Lake Winnebago runs years ahead of the plane facing the street, and a number written from the driveway has never once seen the side that is actually finished.
The geography does it. Wisconsin's prevailing and strongest winds come out of the west and northwest, and at Oshkosh those leave town across the water. The winds that arrive with open lake behind them blow from the east through the south, which is the quadrant a wind sits in when a low pressure center is passing to the south or west of the county. Those are the systems carrying rain and wet snow.
The lake gives that wind a clean run. State figures put Lake Winnebago at about thirty miles long, ten miles wide and 131,939 acres, averaging 15.5 feet deep with a maximum near 21. There is no terrain on it and nothing built on it. Rain crossing that surface reaches a lakeward slope close to horizontal rather than falling onto it.
Water arriving sideways works uphill. It travels back through headlaps, under butt edges, up the vertical leg of a step flashing and in behind drip edge that was set for runoff instead of for pressure. None of that needs a torn shingle, which is why the lakeward planes here so often fail while still looking serviceable from a ladder set at the front of the house.
So we price both conditions rather than averaging them together. Where the east and south planes are spent and the north and west ones hold real life left in them, we will quote two planes and put in writing what that choice costs you: a visible difference in weathered color, and two warranties running on separate clocks. Plenty of contractors will not offer it, because four planes is the larger invoice.
We refuse the split in three situations. If the sheathing is soft in more than one area, if the house already carries two layers and the city will not permit a third, or if the shingle is out of production with no acceptable match, the whole roof comes off. We photograph which situation yours is in before you decide, and price replacement decking per sheet up front.
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 replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement 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
The standards behind roof replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement work we do in Oshkosh follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof replacement project in Oshkosh gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
