What Are Star Prairie Homes and Roofs Like?
Star Prairie homes are a mix of houses in a small river village, with the Apple River flowing through the middle of town, and lake and river homes in the surrounding Town of Star Prairie on Cedar Lake, Squaw Lake and the Apple River.
Homes on the water and under shoreline trees collect leaves and needles in their gutters every fall, and blocked gutters hold meltwater at the eaves in winter, where it can freeze and back up under the shingles. On Star Prairie lake and river houses we look closely at the gutters, the eave edges and the soffit and fascia behind them.
The village sits on the line between the Towns of Star Prairie and Stanton, and a Star Prairie address can belong to the village or to the town, so the first thing we check on any job is which municipality the house is actually in.
Lake and river homes
Keep the gutters clear
Shoreline trees fill gutters on Star Prairie lake houses, and full gutters help ice build up at the eaves.
Is Star Prairie a Village or a Town for Roof Permits?
Star Prairie is both: the Village of Star Prairie and the Town of Star Prairie are separate municipalities with different permit offices, so who handles your roof permit depends on which one your home is in.
In the village, building permits are issued by the village's contracted inspection agency, and the village posts its permit details on its forms and permits page. The village requires permits for new construction, additions, remodeling, moving structures and demolition, but it does not mention reroofing by name.
The Town of Star Prairie, which takes in the lake homes, uses a different contracted building inspector, and it recently changed its permit exemptions by ordinance. Because neither office says plainly whether a like-for-like reroof needs a permit, we confirm the rules with the right building inspector for your address before work starts.
Village or town
Two different permit offices
Check whether your Star Prairie home is in the village or the town before a reroof, because each has its own inspector.
What Should Star Prairie Homeowners Do After Hail?
Quarter-size hail fell in the village of Star Prairie in July 2023, and after hail like that the first step is to have the roof checked for bruised or cracked shingles and dented metal before small damage turns into a leak.
Hail knocks the granules off asphalt shingles and can bruise or crack them, which shortens the roof's life even when nothing drips yet. Wind lifts shingle edges and breaks the seal strips, and around Star Prairie's lakes and river a falling limb from a shoreline tree can crack shingles or punch into the deck. Look for granules in the gutters, dents in gutters and vents, and shingles or limbs in the yard, then call us for an inspection.
If you file an insurance claim, take photos before anything is moved. In Wisconsin, a contractor must ask whether the work is tied to an insurance claim before you sign, and you can cancel that contract until the third business day after your insurer tells you in writing that the claim was denied in whole or in part.

What Roofing Work Does Hudson Roofing Pros Do in Star Prairie?
Hudson Roofing Pros does roof repairs, ice dam work, gutters and full replacements in Star Prairie, with the same crew from first inspection to final cleanup and Garrett Olson overseeing every project.
In winter we do ice dam removal on Star Prairie homes, clearing the ice at the eaves so meltwater can drain, and then look at why it formed. Where old gutters on a lake or river house sag, leak or pull away, we replace them through our gutter installation work, sized and pitched to carry the water off.
Gutters that overflow for years can rot the eave boards behind them, so we repair and replace soffit and fascia before new gutters go up. Star Prairie is one of the towns we cover north of Hudson.

Star Prairie Roofing FAQs
Who Issues Roof Permits in Star Prairie?
It depends on whether your home is in the Village or the Town of Star Prairie, because each has its own contracted building inspector. We confirm which one covers your address and what it requires before work starts.
Do I Need a Permit to Reroof in the Village of Star Prairie?
The village requires permits for new construction, additions, remodeling, moving structures and demolition but does not name reroofing, so we check with the village's inspection agency before we start.
Why Do Star Prairie Lake Homes Get Ice Dams?
Ice dams form when heat from the house melts snow on the upper roof and the water refreezes at the colder eaves, and gutters packed with leaves from shoreline trees make it worse. We clear the ice and work on the attic and gutters behind it.
Does Hudson Roofing Pros Work on Cedar Lake and Squaw Lake Homes?
Yes, we repair and replace roofs, gutters and soffit and fascia on lake and river homes in the Town of Star Prairie as well as in the village.
