A situation we are seeing more frequently is insurance companies conducting roof inspections to evaluate a roof's age and condition. After the inspection, homeowners may receive a notice stating that their coverage will be canceled or non-renewed by a specific date unless the roof is replaced.

That was the situation for this homeowner. Once they received the notice, there was only a short window to complete the work before their coverage was set to lapse. We were able to move quickly, coordinate the project schedule, and work directly with the insurance company to ensure the roof was replaced before the deadline, helping the homeowner maintain uninterrupted coverage.

If you have received a similar notice from your insurance company, don't wait until the last minute. Our team can help assess your roof, explain your options, and develop a plan to meet your insurer's requirements before your coverage is affected.

Additionally, if your home has been impacted by recent storms, LeFever Roofing is a storm restoration specialist. We handle the entire process from initial inspection and damage documentation through project completion and final invoicing. Our goal is to make the restoration process as smooth as possible while delivering a quality roofing system that protects your home for years to come.

Public Service Announcement -

There's a company that's been very active in our area following the recent wind and hail storms. While door-to-door inspections after severe weather are not uncommon, I’ve received several concerning reports from homeowners - many of them elderly - regarding their interactions with this group.

The approach being described is often overly aggressive, with homeowners being asked to sign paperwork or electronically for a “free inspection.” In some cases, that documentation may actually obligate you to work with the company or allow them to pursue compensation if you choose another contractor. Additionally, there have been claims that they can “cover” or “absorb” your insurance deductible, which is a significant red flag and may constitute insurance fraud.

What prompted me to speak up was a recent inspection I performed. A homeowner had been told she had storm damage and was encouraged to file a claim. After a thorough evaluation, I found no evidence of storm-related damage.

A few recommendations to protect yourself:

Do not sign anything immediately.
Carefully review all documents before signing.
Consult with a trusted professional before making a decision.

If you’ve already filed a claim or would like a second opinion, feel free to reach out. We provide honest, straightforward assessments and can help guide you through the claims process—if that’s the direction you choose.

This is an ad I just saw. Look at this map and tell me if you see anything wrong.🤭 Don't fall prey to national chasers that have a local number, but no clue about our area.

Hire a local, reputable contractor that will be here long after the storm. Message me if you need a post-storm inspection on your home.

🚨 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US… AND THEM 🚨

It’s not subtle anymore.
And homeowners are starting to see it clearly.

There are two types of contractors in this industry:

Those going through the motions…
And those operating at a different level.

Here’s the reality:

👉 Anyone can knock on a door.
👉 Anyone can swing a hammer.
👉 Anyone can “sell a roof.”

That’s not what separates us.

What separates us is how we approach the entire process — before, during, and after the build.

While others are guessing… we’re diagnosing.

✔️ We identify storm damage vs. normal wear — and can back it up
✔️ We navigate insurance with precision, not hope
✔️ We communicate like professionals — not pushy salespeople
✔️ We install systems that meet code and actually perform long-term
✔️ We build trust that holds up long after the job is done

While others focus on materials… we focus on systems.

🔹 Ventilation that protects the entire structure
🔹 Proper layering - proper underlayment and flashing details
🔹 Material selection based on performance, not price
🔹 Clean installs that pass inspection the first time

While others react… we’re prepared.

🔹 We document everything
🔹 We justify every line item
🔹 We defend the scope when it matters
🔹 We run projects like a business — not a hustle

This is why we stand out.

Because today, the business isn’t just roofing.

It’s consulting.
It’s project management.
It’s risk mitigation.
It’s leadership.

We’re not catching up to where the industry is going.

We’re already there.

And the gap?

It’s getting wider every day.

This past summer, this family checked off a New Year’s resolution early: no more roof raking come winter. ❄️

By upgrading to a standing seam steel roof, snow sheds naturally, ice dams are reduced, and winter maintenance becomes a thing of the past. Strong, sleek, and built for Wisconsin winters.

One less chore. One smart resolution.

Message me if you're thinking of upgrading to a standing seam steel roofing system.
