Salem Lakes is a western Kenosha County village formed in 2017 by merging several communities and lakes. It includes Salem itself, where the first settler arrived in June 1837, and the lakes that give the village its name. Roofs here face the same inland storm and winter weather as other western villages. Calls to (833) 751-2102 are answered 24/7.
Salem Lakes was formed in 2017 when the village of Silver Lake joined with the communities of Trevor, Wilmot and Camp Lake. Several lakes lie wholly or partly within it, including Benet Lake, Cross Lake, Lake Shangrila and Voltz Lake, along with the Fox River.
This page covers the Salem part of the village. Camp Lake and Trevor have their own pages, since they were separate communities with their own history. John Dodge was the first settler in Salem proper, arriving in June 1837.
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.
Open water around a lake can leave the nearest roofs more exposed to wind than houses set back from it. Shoreline trees also drop limbs in a storm, and a limb on a roof is the most common reason a roof gets damaged in a village like this one.
Check trees near the house for dead wood before storm season, and have a technician look at the roof after any limb has fallen on it.
Salem Lakes is a village, so the village office handles roof permits. The sources did not include the village's own permit rules. Ask whether a tear-off or new decking needs a permit, and what the inspection covers.
The sources give no housing or snow record for Salem Lakes. Inland villages get the same winter weather in a different pattern from the shoreline, and a roof here should be checked after heavy snow and the thaw that follows.
The attic is the first place to look for ice-dam damage. Look for damp insulation and staining near the eaves.

Salem is one part of the village. The village was formed in 2017 by merging the village of Silver Lake with Trevor, Wilmot and Camp Lake. Camp Lake and Trevor have their own pages on this site.
The village office handles permit questions for roof work. The rules were not in the sources used for this page. Ask before a tear-off or new decking is scheduled.
Benet Lake, Cross Lake, Lake Shangrila and Voltz Lake, and the Fox River, lie wholly or partly within the village, according to the sources. Roofs close to open water can take more wind than houses set back from it.
From the ground, look at the edges, the flashing and any fallen limbs. Inside, check the attic for light and water staining. Then call (833) 751-2102 and ask a technician to check the whole roof.
