Roofing in Cadott, WI
On 21 July 2020, at 7:44 in the evening, an EF0 tornado tracked 2.9 miles through Cadott. The National Weather Service survey recorded part of a roof taken off a church, minor roof damage on homes, numerous trees down with some on houses and vehicles, and a shed slid off its foundation. That is the whole record of the event.
It is worth reading closely, because it is what a weak tornado actually does to a village: partial roof loss on one large building, edge damage on a scatter of houses, and nothing that reads as catastrophic from the street. Roofs that survive an EF0 with lifted tabs and broken seals often fail two winters later.
Cadott burns more wood than anywhere else we cover, at 4.8 percent of occupied units, and 2.8 percent more use bottled LP. Combustion appliances put masonry and metal through the roof plane, and chimney flashing under SPS 321.28 (7) (d) has to be flashed and counter-flashed to a height of at least six inches. Most of the ones we find are not.
About one Cadott home in ten is a manufactured home. That housing is built to the federal HUD standard, not to SPS 320, and its roof assembly, fastening and edge detail follow the manufacturer. We quote those separately and we tell you when a repair is the honest answer rather than a replacement the frame cannot carry.
The rest of the village runs older than it looks: median year built 1974, but 21.8 percent from before 1940 and 36.2 percent from before 1960. Under SPS 320.05 (1) all of that predates the Uniform Dwelling Code, which took effect 1 June 1980, so the code has nothing to say about a reroof on those houses.
Cadott holds delegated authority for new one- and two-family construction, with Chippewa County listed as the inspector. For anything short of new construction, the permit question is a village ordinance question. On 19 May 1996 a 65 mph gust caused 900,000 dollars of reported damage here, which is the largest single figure in the village's file.
The 45th parallel marker on Highway 27 puts Cadott halfway between the equator and the pole, and the Yellow River runs through the village on its way to the Chippewa. Neither fact changes a roof. The design snow load of 40 pounds per square foot for Zone 1 does, and it applies to every new roof framed here.
About Cadott, WI — and why local matters here
Cadott sits in Chippewa County with a population of roughly 1,498, close enough to Eau Claire that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the 45th parallel marker on Highway 27, the Yellow River through the village.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Cadott properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Chippewa County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Cadott, WI
Eau Claire Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Cadott that we do in Eau Claire — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Tile Roofing — There is not much tile in Eau Claire, and the little that exists is usually on a church, an institutional building, or a house whose original owner brought the idea from somewhere warmer. We maintain what is here and we are careful about adding more.
- Flat and Low-Slope Roofing — Low-slope roofs in Eau Claire are porches, additions, dormer shed roofs, garage extensions and the back half of a lot of older houses on the north side. They fail differently from steep slopes, and in this climate they usually fail from underneath.
- Roof Coatings and Sealing — This is the service we decline most often, and the reason is the same reason the rest of this site exists. A coating is a vapor barrier you paint onto the top of a roof, and if the assembly underneath is already storing water, you have just closed the lid.
- Roof Ventilation — Ventilation is the service most people call us about after a frost melt, and it is the second thing we do, not the first. Doing it first is how a moisture problem gets worse while everybody congratulates themselves on the new ridge vent.
- Skylights — Skylights get blamed for more winter water in this city than they deserve, and they also cause more of it than their owners realize. Both things are true at once, which makes the diagnosis worth doing properly before anybody buys glass.
- Fascia and Soffit — Soffit is the single most important roofing component in this market and almost nobody thinks of it as roofing. It is the intake.
