Lake-effect snow, ice and wind hit Kenosha hard. Here is how to clear the storm debris — safely and for the insurer.

Kenosha sits on the wrong side of Lake Michigan for easy winters. Lake-effect snow, ice storms, freeze-thaw cycles and the high winds that come off the water all do damage to roofs, trees, fences and outbuildings — and when the thaw comes, the cleanup lands all at once. A roll-off is often the fastest way to clear it.
Heavy, wet lake-effect snow snaps branches and overloads flat and low-slope roofs. Ice dams lift and tear shingles along eaves. Sustained wind off the lake pulls down fence lines and shingles and topples aging trees. And the freeze-thaw churn heaves and cracks driveways, sidewalks and foundations — the concrete breakout that shows up every spring.
After a storm, the first job is safety: downed limbs on lines, unstable trees and roof damage are not DIY. Once the site is safe, a container lets you pile storm debris — limbs, torn shingles, broken fencing — in one place instead of scattering it around the yard. A storm-debris roll-off sized for volume handles most of it.
If you are filing a claim, photograph the damage and the debris before you load. Sorting matters too — keeping roofing separate from yard debris makes the adjuster's job easier and the claim cleaner. We can advise on how to stage the load so nothing is thrown away before it is documented.
Ice-dam and wind damage often means a roof tear-off come spring, and a 20 yard is the usual size. Frost-heaved concrete is a separate, heavy job — a 10 yard priced by weight. Both are steady Kenosha calls once the ground thaws.
When a storm hits, containers get tight fast. If you have damage to clear, call early — we will get a roll-off to Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, Somers or Bristol quickly, and schedule the farther towns honestly. Call (262) 300-5776.
