Roof Repair in Sturtevant, WI

Why did Sturtevant get less lake-effect snow than Pleasant Prairie?

The sources show the difference clearly for one storm: about 2 inches in Sturtevant on November 10, 2025, against 10 to 13 inches near Pleasant Prairie. They do not give an annual snowfall figure for the village, and none is given here. A lake-effect band is narrow, so the place it lands on and the place it misses can be only a few kilometers apart.

Snow depth is only part of the picture. Ice that forms at the eave can keep meltwater behind the shingles even when the snowfall was light, so an inspection after the thaw is worth doing as well as one after the storm.

What should a Sturtevant roof owner check after a heavy snow?

After a heavy snow, check for sagging at the eaves, ceiling stains and cracks, and doors or windows that stick, since those can point to extra load on the framing. Do not climb onto a snow-covered roof to clear it. Clear the lower eave from the ground where that is safe, and call a technician if the ceiling shows signs of water.

Look in the attic as well. Damp insulation and staining on the underside of the sheathing near the eave can mean ice has backed water under the shingles.

Which office handles roof work permits in Sturtevant?

Sturtevant is a village, so the village building department is the office to ask about a tear-off or new roof decking. The sources for this page do not include the village's permit rules. Ask whether the work needs a permit, what the inspection covers and whether the decking is included, before work is scheduled.
