Same-day free inspection. We document hail and wind damage to Xactimate standards, meet your insurance adjuster on the roof, and start work the day your claim is approved. No pressure, no storm-chaser tactics. Wauwatosa-based since 2020.
Wauwatosa storm damage rarely stays in one spot: hail bruises shingles, wind lifts the ridge, water reaches the decking. Generations Roofing & Remodeling handles hail and wind damage repair, emergency roof tarping, full roof replacement, and insurance claim documentation, every job starting with a free same-day Wauwatosa roof inspection scoped in Xactimate.
Round, bruise-like impact marks and granule loss are the signature of a Wauwatosa hail storm. We document granule loss slope by slope and build the Xactimate scope your insurer needs to approve a claim at replacement cost value.
Get a hail inspectionMissing, curled, and lifted shingles, creased tabs, bent ridge cap, and displaced flashing follow a Wauwatosa wind event. We secure the roof first, then document wind uplift and creasing for a clean claim before water reaches the decking.
Report wind damageAn active leak cannot wait for an adjuster. We install emergency tarps across Milwaukee County the same day to stop water intrusion. Tarping is a covered mitigation expense on most Wisconsin policies, so we date-stamp it for your claim.
Call for tarpingWhen storm damage is widespread, a complete tear-off beats a patchwork repair. New ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, architectural or Class 4 shingles, and flashing, installed to GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed standards.
See cost rangesThe difference-maker on a Wauwatosa storm claim. We document the full scope of loss to Xactimate, meet your adjuster on the roof, and file supplements with photo evidence. That on-site presence is why our claims rarely get short-paid.
See the claim processDrone exterior survey plus an interior attic check, same day or next day across Milwaukee County. You get a written, photo-backed report confirming what is storm-related, with no obligation. If your roof is sound, we put that in writing too.
Book inspectionMost Wisconsin carriers approve a full roof replacement once three or more storm damage signs line up: hail bruising and granule loss, lifted or missing shingles, or interior water stains and daylight in the attic. Run the checklist below, then we confirm it free.
Wauwatosa roof insurance claims get underpaid when documentation is weak, not when damage is fake. We document the full scope of loss in Xactimate, meet your adjuster on the roof, and recover your deductible-only out-of-pocket plus recoverable depreciation. Here is every step from first call to final payment.
Drone exterior plus interior attic check, same day or next day across Milwaukee County. We confirm the damage is claim-worthy before you file anything.
Date-stamped slope photos, diagrams, pitch measurements, and a full line-item scope of loss in the same software your insurer uses.
We point out every covered area in person and file a supplement with photo evidence if the first pass misses items. This is why our claims rarely get short-paid.
We review the settlement line by line so you understand RCV, ACV, your deductible, and recoverable depreciation. You pick your shingle color and we order materials.
Tear-off to finish in one to two days on a typical Wauwatosa home. New ice and water shield, underlayment, shingles, and flashing, then a magnet nail sweep.

The crew completed the entire job within a day, just a couple of weeks after we signed. Easiest insurance roof claim we have ever dealt with.
Our adjuster missed the back slope on the first pass. Generations met him on the roof, showed the hail bruising, and the supplement was approved. It saved us thousands.
They tarped the roof the same evening I called, then walked me through the whole claim. No pressure, no upsell, just straight answers from a local crew.
After the April 2026 hail and high-wind storms across southeast Wisconsin, these Wauwatosa roofs were inspected free and replaced on approved insurance claims, often within days.
Zachary founded Generations Roofing & Remodeling in 2020 after seeing Wauwatosa homeowners underpaid on valid storm claims. A Wauwatosa local, he has personally inspected over a thousand roofs on one principle: document the damage the way adjusters need to see it, then prove it on the roof.
No franchise, no anonymous subs, no storm-chaser script. We hold every certification below, so your warranty stays factory-backed and your install meets Wisconsin code.
Milwaukee County roof replacements must meet the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (SPS 321), enforced by the DSPS. A non-compliant install can void your claim and your manufacturer warranty, which is why storm chasers skip it. We are DSPS-licensed, insured, and build to code on every job.
Self-adhering membrane from the eave edge up the slope and through every valley, sized for Wisconsin freeze-thaw and ice-dam exposure.
Why it matters: this layer stops ice-dam backup from leaking into your living space in winter.Replacement materials match or exceed the original spec. Wisconsin uses a like-kind-and-quality standard rather than a strict matching statute.
Why it matters: knowing the standard keeps your settlement from being reduced to a patch that never matches.Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation plus full synthetic underlayment, installed to manufacturer and code spec so the system breathes.
Why it matters: poor ventilation cooks shingles from below and voids a factory warranty fast.Shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F and D7158 Class H wind, with optional Class 4 impact shingles tested to UL 2218 for a premium credit.
Why it matters: the right rating earns the Wisconsin carrier discount and survives the next hail core.Installed to GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum, and CertainTeed specs, the certifications that unlock enhanced factory warranties.
Why it matters: only certified contractors can register the extended warranty.We pull and manage the building permit for your Wauwatosa address through City of Wauwatosa Building Inspection and schedule the required inspections, typically in five to seven business days.
Why it matters: an unpermitted roof can surface at resale and complicate a future claim.Yes. Most Wisconsin homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage from hail, wind, and falling objects, minus your deductible. Coverage is typically replacement cost value for newer roofs, or actual cash value for roofs past their depreciation schedule.
Wisconsin Statute 631.83 gives you up to one year from the date of loss to file a property damage claim. Most carriers also want notification within 30 to 60 days of discovering the damage to keep the claim valid, so do not sit on it.
Yes. A contractor on the roof during the adjuster meeting catches damage adjusters miss, especially slope-specific hail and granule loss. On-site adjuster meetings are the single biggest reason our Wauwatosa storm claims rarely get short-paid.
No. Wisconsin does not have a strict matching statute. The state applies a like-kind-and-quality standard through SPS 321.28. Matching coverage is available as an optional policy endorsement, so check your declarations page. Some carriers voluntarily cover line-of-sight matching as a business practice.
Weather-related claims are treated differently than negligence claims. Most Wisconsin carriers do not surcharge for a single weather claim within a three-year window. Multiple weather claims can trigger a non-renewal review by the underwriter.
Round, dark, bruise-like impact marks with no directional pattern, granule loss exposing the black asphalt underneath, dented metal vents and gutter aprons, and granules collecting in the downspout splash zone. Check the north and west slopes first.
The industry threshold is 1.0 inch diameter, about quarter size, for measurable asphalt shingle damage. Smaller hail can still bruise older or sun-baked shingles. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated for 2.0 inch hail under UL 2218.
Typical Wauwatosa architectural shingle full replacement runs $6,000 to $22,000, with an average of about $9,600 for a 2,000 square foot home. Per-square-foot cost is roughly $4 to $6 for asphalt. Larger or steeper roofs and Class 4 upgrades push higher.
Typical Wauwatosa wind damage spot repair is $500 to $2,500. Slope-level partial replacement runs $4,500 to $9,200. Full replacement, when damage is widespread, is $11,500 to $28,000.
Actual cash value is depreciated value, which carriers pay on older roofs. Replacement cost value is full like-kind cost, which carriers pay on newer roofs and policies that opt for RCV coverage. The difference can be thousands of dollars on the same claim.
Compare the repair cost to your deductible. If an $1,800 spot repair sits below your $2,500 deductible, paying out-of-pocket avoids a claim on your record. If the damage exceeds your deductible by more than $1,000, filing usually wins.
Standard asphalt re-roofs run one to two days for tear-off to finish on a typical Wauwatosa 2,000 to 3,000 square foot single-family home. Larger or steeper roofs run two to three days. We never leave a job open overnight unprotected.
The average Wauwatosa storm-damage roof settlement runs $11,000 to $16,000 for a full replacement claim with proper Xactimate documentation. Carriers approve more when documentation includes slope-level photo evidence and meets a contractor-supplied scope.
A contractor can supplement a claim with additional line items and meet the adjuster on-site, but cannot legally negotiate dollar amounts on your behalf unless they are a licensed public adjuster. Most legitimate roofers work alongside your adjuster, not against them.
UL 2218 Class 4 shingles withstand a two-inch steel ball impact without cracking. Most Wisconsin carriers offer a 10 to 30 percent premium credit for Class 4 installation. Installed cost runs $0.40 to $0.70 more per square foot, and premium-credit payback is typically six to nine years.
Yes. We install emergency roof tarps across Milwaukee County to stop active leaks and protect your interior until the permanent repair. Tarping is a covered emergency mitigation expense on most Wisconsin policies, so keep the receipt for your claim.
Generations Roofing & Remodeling inspects Wauwatosa storm damage free. If we find covered damage, we document it in Xactimate and meet your adjuster on the roof.
