Roofing in Ellington, WI
The hail here has been bigger than anything recorded in Appleton. Tennis ball hail measured at two and a half inches fell on the south side of Stephensville on June 5, 2019, and lime-size hail at two inches fell near the same crossroads on June 17, 2013. Stones of that size do not bruise a laminated shingle, they fracture the mat.
The tornado record is worse than the population would suggest too. On July 20, 2019 an EF1 ran three and a half miles through the town, damaged three power poles, destroyed a carport, partially damaged two outbuildings and stripped siding off houses. In September 2016 thunderstorm winds pushed a twenty-eight by forty foot shed clean off its foundation.
Ellington was one of the towns split away from Grand Chute by 1850, and it has remained farmland immediately west of the city ever since. It carries its own delegated authority under the state dwelling code rather than deferring to the county, which surprises people who assume a rural township defers on everything.
The farmhouses have been added to more than once and each addition brought its own roof at its own angle. It is normal to find four or five distinct planes at one address, running from a steep original gable down through a lean-to at something close to dead flat, with two different generations of covering already on them.
So the survey is done section by section and each section gets a rise number written on the estimate. A single square-foot price across a farmstead hides which plane is failing, and on this housing stock the failing plane is usually not the one an owner is worried about.
The outbuildings matter more here than the houses do. Machine sheds, attached garages and equipment lean-tos add up to more shallow roof per address than the dwelling carries, and after a hail event they carry the clearest evidence. Soft metal on a shed, a gutter face and a vent cap all date the storm honestly, and none of them argue.
About Ellington, WI — and why local matters here
Ellington sits in Outagamie County with a population of roughly 3,174, close enough to Appleton that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Stephensville crossroads, the WIS 96 run west of the city.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Ellington properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Outagamie County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Ellington, WI
Appleton Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Ellington that we do in Appleton — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Roof Inspections — Our inspection runs in an unusual order. We start on the lowest roof on the house and work up, because on Appleton's older blocks that is where the material is most often wrong for the pitch and where the money is going to be.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt is the right answer on the steep part of nearly every house in this city, and the wrong answer on a good share of the shallow parts. Where the line falls is not an opinion.
- Metal Roofing — Metal is the best product available for the shallow roofs on this housing stock and a harder argument on the steep ones. We sell far more porch and ell metal than whole-house metal, and that is a deliberate recommendation rather than an accident of demand.
- Tile Roofing — On this page we usually argue against our own product. Tile is a serious roof and there are real examples of it here, but on the great majority of Appleton houses a conversion is the wrong purchase and we say so early.
- Flat and Low-Slope Roofing — This is the page that matters most on an Appleton house, and on almost every other roofing site it is written about warehouses. Here the low-slope roof is residential: the front porch, the kitchen ell, the sunroom, the back stoop, the shed dormer and the garage off the alley.
- Roof Coatings and Sealing — A coating is a maintenance product with a narrow correct use. Applied to a sound low-slope roof that is simply weathering, it is genuinely the cheapest right answer on the property.
