Harsh weather requires smart maintenance timing to prevent structural issues.

Knowing how the weather in your state impacts your property’s exterior is crucial to maintaining its maintenance and structural soundness.

At Oliwill Construction, we understand that rising costs are cascading through many major fields right now, causing people to feel that property improvements are lower on the priority list.

However, these are services that matter and can save you money in the long run; the sooner you act.

We have a few seasonal tips below to get you started.

🧊 Freeze-Thaw Cycles

• The Damage: Wisconsin’s frequent temperature swings cause absorbed moisture in roofs and siding to freeze and expand, widening cracks and breaking down materials.
• Impact: Causes shingle granular loss, curling, and compromises siding caulking or wood finishes.

• The Damage: Accumulated snow adds structural weight to the roof, while heat escaping from the attic melts snow to refreeze at the roof edge, forming ice dams.
• Impact: Dams force water backward under shingles, resulting in interior leaks and ceiling damage.

💨 Wind and Hail

• The Damage: Spring and summer storms frequently bring high winds and hail.
• Impact: Wind lifts shingles and snaps or tears siding panels. Hail causes severe dents in aluminum siding and strips protective granules from asphalt shingles, accelerating wear. 

☔️ Seasonal Considerations

• Installation Limits: Roofing is best installed between 40°F and 85°F. Asphalt shingles become brittle in cold weather, which limits proper sealing and installation.
• Best Seasons: Spring, summer, and fall are ideal for exterior work, offering stable, comfortable temperatures.
