Roofing in Chetek, WI
The defining storm here is 16 May 2017. A tornado that formed in Polk County tracked 31 miles east-northeast across southern Barron County, three quarters of a mile wide at its worst. The National Weather Service found its most severe damage just north of Chetek, where mobile homes were completely demolished, one person was killed and 25 were injured.
The survey recorded turkey barns leveled after that, then multiple homes hit hard near Prairie Lake, especially those on the eastern shore. Total property damage in Barron County reached 10.1 million dollars. If you own a roof on the Chetek chain of lakes, that date is the reference point for what wind can do here.
It was not the only one. On 27 July 2010 at 6:59 in the evening an EF1 ran 4.5 miles from Lake Chetek toward the municipal airport, dropping over a dozen large pines on the east shore of Prairie Lake, several onto a home, and taking the roof off a storage garage and a turkey barn. On 27 July 2016 an EF0 cost 50,000 dollars.
Mature pine over shingle is the standing hazard of a lake town. Needle litter holds moisture against the covering, limb strike punctures a deck without visibly marking the shingle above it, and shade keeps a north slope from ever drying out. We walk those slopes rather than judge them from the water side.
Barron County is not among the thirteen Wisconsin counties holding delegated Uniform Dwelling Code authority. The City of Chetek and the Town of Chetek each took the delegation individually, and the city inspector named on the state list of 19 August 2026 is the same name listed as building inspector for the Village of New Auburn, thirty miles south in Chippewa County.
Hail is routine. On 14 August 2000 at 11:08 at night hail measuring 2.75 inches fell on Chetek. On 7 June 2005 two separate 1.75 inch reports came in. On 4 September 2012 two-inch and 1.50 inch hail fell. On 19 July 2019 a swath of 70 to 80 mph straight-line winds about ten miles wide crossed eastern Barron County toward the city.
Median year built is 1974, owner occupancy is 73 percent and natural gas heats 80.8 percent of homes, the second highest rate we record. Chetek sits in Zone 1 of Figure 321.02 at a 40 pound per square foot design snow load, and it is the northernmost place we serve on the US Highway 53 corridor north of Bloomer.

The roofing jobs Chetek calls us for
Eau Claire Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Chetek that we do in Eau Claire — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Metal Roofing — Metal is a good roof for this climate and a bad one to install carelessly, because a steel panel is the coldest surface a house can present to its own attic. The panel tracks outdoor air, and in February the underside runs colder than shingles ever do.
- Roof Leak Repair — Every leak call we take between January and April gets the same first question, and it is not about the roof. It is about the weather in the two days before the stain appeared, because that answer sorts the real leaks from the frost melts before anybody climbs anything.
- Roof Skylight Installation — 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.
- Storm Damage Restoration — Storm work here has a scheduling problem nobody warns you about. The severe season runs May through August, the moisture season runs December through March, and the two produce ceiling stains that look identical from the floor of your living room.
- 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.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind damage in this valley is mostly an edge problem. Field shingles rarely start a failure on their own.

About Chetek, WI — and why local matters here
Chetek sits in Barron County with a population of roughly 2,172, close enough to Eau Claire that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Chetek chain of lakes, the US Highway 53 corridor north of Bloomer.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Chetek properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Barron 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.
