Pleasant Prairie is a Wisconsin village south of Kenosha that reaches the Illinois line. Roof problems here follow the lake: narrow snow bands that can drop a foot in one spot while nearby towns get a few inches, and storm lines that lift shingles. Calls to (833) 751-2102 are answered 24/7.
Pleasant Prairie covers the lakeshore between Kenosha and the Illinois state line. The village's own history places a town here from 1838, which became a village in 1989, and it names the Chiwaukee Prairie lakeshore as a National Natural Landmark. Green Bay Road, the old Jambeau Trail, runs through it. Houses near that shoreline see the lake's weather first.
The weather record for the village is a mix of close calls. On November 10, 2025, a narrow lake-effect band put 10 to 13 inches near Pleasant Prairie while Sturtevant, roughly 20 kilometers north, got about 2, according to a local television news report quoting the National Weather Service. A tornado warning has named the village in its text, but no confirmed tornado or roof damage here was found.
Lake-effect snow and ice dams from November to March, then spring and summer wind lines, decide which roof problems turn up along the Kenosha lakeshore from week to week.
A lake-effect band is narrow. The November 10, 2025 event left 10 to 13 inches near Pleasant Prairie and about 2 inches in Sturtevant, a gap of a few kilometers. Roof snow follows the band, not the town line, so a roof that came through one week fine can carry a heavy load for a day or two after the next band.
After a heavy snow a technician looks at the attic, the ridge and the eaves for sagging, cracking and water staining. Do not climb onto a snow-covered roof to clear it. Clear the lower edge from the ground where it is safe, and call if the ceiling shows new water or the framing feels soft.
A National Weather Service tornado warning has named Pleasant Prairie in its text. That means the village was inside the warned area, not that a tornado touched down. No confirmed tornado or roof damage here was found in the record this page draws on.
What a warning does mean for a roof is simple. Secure loose items, keep gutters and downspouts clear, and check the roof once the storm has passed for lifted shingles or flashing that has shifted.
Wind off the lake is the main summer and autumn threat here, along with the storm lines that cross the county. Shingles lift at the edges and at the rake before they tear away. A lifted tab lets wind-driven rain under the course below, and that is often where a leak starts.
Flashing at chimneys and valleys is a common place for water to get in after a blow, so a technician checks those points on any post-storm visit.
Lakeshore wind lifts shingles at the edges, and storm lines crossing the county are the usual cause of what a homeowner sees.
Lake-effect snow followed by a thaw sets up ice at the eaves on the shoreline blocks.
Narrow bands can leave a heavy load on one block and little on the next. Clearing is safest from the ground.
Valley and wall flashing takes the strain of wind and freeze-thaw movement.
A check after a village warning or a heavy band is the quickest way to find lifted tabs and displaced flashing.
Full replacements on older village houses depend on the decking condition and on whether the village requires a permit.

The village permit rules for roof work were not part of the material this page is built on. Check with the village building department before work starts, and ask what is required for a tear-off and for new decking. Kenosha's city rules do not automatically apply in the village.
Lake-effect bands are narrow. The November 10, 2025 event left 10 to 13 inches near Pleasant Prairie and about 2 inches in Sturtevant. How much snow sits on a roof depends on where the band lay, the wind and sun exposure, so two houses a few kilometers apart can differ sharply.
No. Do not climb onto a snow-covered or icy roof, because ladders and ice cause most of the injuries. Clear snow from ground level where you can, and call (833) 751-2102 if you see sagging, cracking sounds from the ceiling or water coming through.
From the ground, look for shingles and flashing in the yard and for downed limbs. From a safe position, look for lifted or missing tabs on the windward side. Inside, check the attic for daylight or fresh water staining. Those signs usually mean a technician should check the whole roof.
