Full Roof Replacement on a Log Home in Wausau, WI

Hail doesn't care how nice your home is. This log home in Wausau took a hit, and the damage was bad enough that a full roof replacement was the only real path forward. That's a tough conversation for any homeowner, but it's also an opportunity to come out of it with something better than what you started with.

We went with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Hunter Green - and honestly, it's hard to imagine a better fit for a home like this. The deep green tone works with the natural wood and stone of the log construction in a way that feels intentional, not just practical. Color selection matters on a home this distinctive, and this one landed right.

GAF Timberline HDZ is one of the most trusted shingles on the market for good reason. The layered shadow line gives the roof real depth and dimension, and the HDZ design is built specifically for wind resistance and long-term durability. In a Wisconsin climate - where you're dealing with everything from summer hailstorms to heavy winter snow loads - that kind of performance matters a lot more than just good looks.

The installation itself required careful attention around the roof's multiple valleys, ridgelines, and skylights. Clean valley work is one of those things that separates a solid roofing job from one that causes problems down the road. Water has to flow off correctly, especially on a larger footprint like this one. We take that seriously on every job.

The finished roof ties the whole property together. Solid structure, quality materials, and a color that fits the home like it was always supposed to be there. That's what a well-executed shingle roofing job looks like.
