An open roof soaks insulation, drywall and framing with every storm — we tarp and secure it today, 24/7
📞 CALL (800) 792-0212 NOW 🔍 Request Free InspectionWhen a storm tears open your roof, the damage clock starts immediately — and it doesn't stop. With the very next rainfall, water infiltrates your attic insulation, soaking it completely and destroying its thermal value. That same water then travels downward, staining and saturating drywall ceilings on the floor below. Within just 24 to 48 hours in Green Bay's humid summer climate, mold spores begin colonizing wet cavities — inside walls, in insulation batts, between rafters. Mold remediation alone can add thousands of dollars to your restoration cost.
Saturated drywall loses structural integrity rapidly. Heavy, waterlogged ceiling panels can collapse without warning, creating a serious safety hazard for anyone in the home. Electrical fixtures that get wet from water intrusion create shock and fire risks that require immediate attention from a licensed electrician. And critically: your homeowners insurance policy includes a duty to mitigate — if you leave a damaged roof uncovered and allow preventable secondary water damage to occur, your insurer may reduce or deny coverage for that additional damage. An exposed roof is not just a weather problem. It is a financial and safety emergency.
Do not wait for morning. Do not wait for the storm to fully pass. Call Allied Emergency Services right now at (800) 792-0212 — our Green Bay crews are on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We will get your roof covered and secured before the next weather event hits.
Green Bay, Wisconsin sits at the southern tip of the Green Bay arm of Lake Michigan, a geographic position that subjects the city to some of the most varied and intense weather in the upper Midwest. The lake acts as an enormous moisture reservoir, amplifying summer thunderstorm intensity and producing the notorious lake-effect snow events that blanket neighborhoods from Allouez and Preble to Howard and Ashwaubenon during the winter months. Roofs in Green Bay face a punishing combination of threats — heavy wet snow loads in winter, severe thunderstorm wind gusts in spring and summer, and hailstorms that can strip shingles and puncture decking in minutes.
The city's residential stock includes everything from the older craftsman-era homes near the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus and the established neighborhoods of Bellevue and Titletown District, to newer construction along the Highway 41 corridor and the rapidly developing areas near Austin Straubel International Airport. Regardless of the age or construction type of your home, a sudden roof opening is a crisis that demands the same rapid, professional response. Neighborhoods including Preble, Ledgeview, and the villages of Hobart and Suamico — all within our service radius — experience the same storm patterns that drive emergency tarping needs throughout the greater Green Bay metropolitan area.
Green Bay's severe weather season runs primarily from April through September, with peak tornado and hail risk occurring in June and July. The region averages more than 40 inches of precipitation annually, meaning a damaged roof is rarely dry for long. Allied's understanding of northeastern Wisconsin's weather patterns, roof construction types, and the urgency of post-storm response is what sets us apart from general contractors who treat emergency tarping as an afterthought.
Complete emergency roofing protection for every type of storm damage
Severe thunderstorms and straight-line wind events regularly push through northeastern Wisconsin with gusts exceeding 60 to 80 miles per hour. These winds are strong enough to lift entire sections of shingles, tear off ridge caps, and in the worst cases, peel back roof decking from the rafters below. When wind creates an opening — large or small — water has a direct path into your home's most vulnerable structural components. Allied's crews arrive with commercial-grade tarps sized to cover any opening and secure them using the proper anchoring technique that holds against continued wind without creating additional damage to the remaining roof surface.
Green Bay and Brown County sit within one of the more active hail corridors in Wisconsin. Hailstones ranging from pea-size to golf ball-size are documented events in this region, and even smaller hail at high density can cause significant damage to asphalt shingles — bruising the mat, shattering granules, and eventually creating thin spots that fail under rainfall. Larger hail can punch completely through shingles and underlayment in a single strike. Allied's crews are trained in hail damage recognition and perform a systematic assessment of the entire roof surface following a hail event, not just the visible damage from the ground.
Green Bay's mature tree canopy — particularly the large oaks and maples lining streets in neighborhoods like Preble, Allouez, and the older sections near Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary — are beautiful in fair weather and dangerous in severe storms. When high winds or ice loads cause limbs or entire trees to fall on residential roofs, the resulting damage goes far beyond a surface opening. Tree strikes frequently break or displace rafters and trusses, crack decking, and create structural instability that makes the opening unsafe to approach until the situation is properly assessed. Allied coordinates with tree removal crews to safely address the debris situation first, then performs a structural evaluation before installing the tarp.
An emergency tarp is the beginning of the restoration process, not the end. Once your Green Bay roof is secured, Allied's team transitions into the full insurance claim documentation and permanent repair coordination phase. We compile all emergency response documentation into an organized package that supports your insurance claim — this includes timestamped aerial and ground-level photos, a written scope of the emergency work performed, and a preliminary damage assessment for the permanent repair scope. When your adjuster comes to inspect, we are available to walk the roof with them and answer questions about what we found. After the claim process moves forward, Allied performs the permanent roofing replacement or repair to close out the project completely.
Understanding the weather risk helps Green Bay homeowners recognize when to call for emergency help
Green Bay's peak severe weather season runs from late June through August. Warm, moist air masses from the Gulf of Mexico interact with frontal boundaries tracking across Wisconsin to produce supercell thunderstorms capable of producing damaging straight-line winds, large hail, and occasional tornadoes. Brown County has experienced numerous documented hail events producing stones one inch in diameter or larger — the threshold at which widespread shingle damage becomes likely. Residents in neighborhoods like Ashwaubenon, Howard, and Suamico are particularly exposed when storms track from the southwest along the common storm corridor that follows the Fox River valley northeastward toward the bay.
The spring transition in northeastern Wisconsin can produce some of the most damaging weather of the year. As the Great Lakes begin warming in April, temperature differentials between the lake surface and incoming cold fronts from Canada generate intense convective activity. Late-season snowstorms in April can deliver heavy, wet snow — the kind that loads roofs beyond their design capacity and causes gutters, soffits, and even sections of older roofing systems to fail. Spring also brings the first rounds of severe thunderstorms, often with strong winds that exploit roofing vulnerabilities that developed during the winter freeze-thaw cycle.
Green Bay's position at the southern tip of the bay makes it a prime target for lake-effect snow events generated when cold Arctic air sweeps across the relatively warmer waters of Lake Michigan. These events can dump significant snow in a matter of hours, and the subsequent melt-and-refreeze cycle creates ice dams at roof eaves — one of the most destructive winter roof hazards in Wisconsin. Ice dams form when heat escaping from the living space melts snow on the upper roof, with the meltwater refreezing at the cooler eave overhang. The resulting ice wedge forces water up under shingles and into the roof assembly, causing damage that may not become visible until spring. Allied responds to ice-dam-related roof damage and emergency tarping needs throughout the winter months.
As summer transitions to fall, Green Bay experiences a period of elevated wind activity associated with strengthening jet stream patterns and the increased frequency of powerful low-pressure systems tracking across the Great Lakes. These fall wind events can strip leaves, limbs, and shingles simultaneously, and because many homeowners are not watching their roofs as closely after summer storm season ends, fall wind damage often goes undetected for days or weeks. If you notice granules accumulating in gutters or downspouts after a fall wind event, or if you can see shingle displacement from the ground, call Allied immediately for an emergency assessment.
Every storm season in Wisconsin, homeowners are seriously injured attempting to tarp their own roofs in the aftermath of severe weather. It happens in Green Bay. It happens in De Pere. It happens in Howard and Ashwaubenon. The scenario plays out the same way: a homeowner sees that their roof has been damaged, grabs a ladder and a tarp from the garage, and climbs up to try to stop the water — often in low light, in wet conditions, with a roof surface that has been structurally compromised by the very storm that just passed.
The danger is not limited to falls, though falls are the primary hazard. A roof damaged by wind or hail may have sections of decking that appear solid but have been lifted or cracked at the fastener lines, making them capable of shifting under a person's weight without warning. Wet asphalt shingles are among the most slippery surfaces imaginable, with a friction coefficient similar to wet ice when saturated. And in the immediate aftermath of a storm, debris — broken glass, torn metal flashing, displaced nails — creates additional hazards at every step.
Beyond the physical safety issues, DIY tarping creates real problems with your insurance claim. An improperly installed tarp that shifts, tears, or blows off before the adjuster arrives may allow additional water infiltration that the insurer can classify as secondary damage caused by inadequate mitigation. Tarp installation that uses fasteners driven directly through the roof surface — a common mistake — creates new penetrations that complicate the damage documentation and may give the insurance company grounds to dispute what was original storm damage versus owner-created damage.
Allied's crews use OSHA-compliant fall protection equipment including safety harnesses and anchor systems. We assess the structural integrity of the roof surface before committing crew weight to any area. Our tarping method uses weighted anchor boards and non-penetrating attachment techniques that hold securely without creating new damage to your roof. Every step is photographed with timestamps — this record serves as your proof of professional mitigation, which is exactly what your insurance company needs to see.
The bottom line is this: professional emergency tarping from Allied Emergency Services costs far less than a hospital visit, a denied insurance claim, or the additional water damage caused by a failed DIY tarp. Call us instead. We do this every day. Call (800) 792-0212 any time — day or night.
Allied guides Green Bay homeowners through the full restoration process from emergency response to final inspection
The moment you call (800) 792-0212, our dispatch team logs your address and routes the nearest available crew to your Green Bay property. Our target is to have a crew on site within one hour of your call during active storm events. Upon arrival, we conduct a rapid safety assessment of the property and the roof before any crew member attempts access. Once conditions are confirmed safe, we install professional-grade tarping to stop active water intrusion and stabilize any structural areas that may be at risk. No job is considered complete at this stage until water can no longer enter the structure through the storm-damaged area.
After the emergency stabilization is complete, Allied's crew performs a systematic photographic documentation of the roof and any associated damage visible from the exterior. This includes wide-angle context shots showing the property, close-up shots of every damaged area with scale references, photos of the completed tarp installation from multiple angles, and images of any interior areas accessible that show water intrusion damage. All photographs are timestamped and geotagged. This documentation package is organized and provided to you in a format that your insurance adjuster can use directly. Documentation quality at this stage has a direct bearing on how smoothly your claim moves forward.
We work with your insurance process, not around it. Once you have contacted your insurer and a claim has been filed, Allied is available to meet with your adjuster at the property during their inspection. We can walk the roof with the adjuster, answer technical questions about the damage we observed, and provide context for our emergency tarping scope of work. We are licensed restoration contractors — we document damage and perform restoration repairs. We do not adjust, negotiate, or settle insurance claims on your behalf. Our role is to ensure the adjuster has the clearest possible picture of the storm damage so your claim can be processed accurately and fairly.
Once your insurance claim has been approved and the scope of permanent repair has been agreed upon, Allied transitions from emergency response mode into full restoration mode. For Green Bay properties, this typically means a complete roofing replacement using materials matched to your existing home aesthetic and appropriate to Wisconsin's climate — with proper ice and water shield installation at eaves, properly rated underlayment, and installation methods that meet Wisconsin building code standards. We handle all necessary permits, coordinate the material delivery, and schedule the crew to complete the permanent work as efficiently as possible, minimizing the time your roof relies on temporary tarping.
No project is complete until Allied's project manager has conducted a full walkthrough of the completed restoration work with the homeowner present. We review every aspect of the completed roofing system — from ridge caps and drip edge flashing to proper attic ventilation and gutter reattachment. Any concerns identified during the walkthrough are addressed before the project is closed. Allied stands behind our restoration work and provides documentation of completed repairs suitable for submission to your insurance company as proof of claim resolution. Our goal is for every Green Bay homeowner we serve to have a restored home that is as good as or better than it was before the storm hit.
Reviews represent typical customer experiences.
"A severe storm came through our Howard neighborhood around 10 PM and tore off a section of shingles near our chimney. I called Allied and they had a crew at our door in less than an hour. They worked in the dark with headlamps, got a heavy-duty tarp secured, and gave us a complete photo report before they left. The whole process with our insurer went smoothly because the documentation Allied provided was so detailed. Highly recommend for anyone in Green Bay dealing with storm damage."
"A large oak limb came down on our roof during a summer storm and opened up a section near the peak. Allied's team assessed the structural damage carefully before they even put anyone on the roof — I appreciated that safety-first approach. They coordinated with our tree service and had the tarp in place by morning. When our insurance adjuster came out a few days later, Allied met them on site and walked them through everything. The permanent roof repair was completed on schedule and looks great."
"I called Allied after a hailstorm hit our Ashwaubenon home and I could see granule damage from the ground. Their crew came out quickly and found damage I never would have spotted myself on the back slope. The documentation they prepared was thorough and professional, and it made the insurance process straightforward. I had one contractor from the emergency tarping all the way through the final roof replacement — no juggling multiple companies or dealing with handoff problems. Excellent service from start to finish."
