CV Exteriors

Protecting Wisconsin Homes with Proven Craftsmanship

In Wisconsin, exterior construction is not simply about appearance. It is about durability, structural integrity, and long-term protection against heavy snow loads, hailstorms, wind uplift, freeze-thaw cycles, and sustained moisture exposure. Roofing systems, siding, windows, doors, and drainage components must function together as a complete building envelope.

CV Exteriors has built its reputation around that principle. Headquartered in Chippewa Falls and serving communities throughout western Wisconsin, the company provides residential roofing, storm damage restoration, siding, window, door, and gutter installation, skylight installation, multifamily roofing, and commercial roofing services. For more than 78 years, its work has centered on accountability, steady craftsmanship, and community commitment.

What distinguishes the company is not simply the range of services, but the technical precision behind each one.

Residential Roofing as a Complete System

A roof is not just shingles. It is an engineered assembly of interdependent components designed to protect structural framing and interior spaces.

Each residential roofing project begins with a comprehensive roof inspection, evaluating:

• Asphalt shingles

• Underlayment and synthetic underlayment

• Ice and water shield placement

• Flashing and step flashing integration

• Drip edge alignment

• Ridge cap and ridge vent performance

• Roof decking condition

• Attic ventilation balance

• Insulation Evaluations

• Building Code Compliance

Attention is paid to wind uplift rating, impact resistance rating, and moisture barrier continuity. Proper ventilation reduces the risk of condensation and supports insulation performance. Flashing details are examined closely, particularly around chimneys, roof valleys, skylights, and penetrations where water intrusion most commonly occurs.

As an Owens Corning Platinum Contractor, CV Exteriors follows manufacturer specifications and adheres to International Residential Code standards. This designation reflects professional installation practices and ongoing technical education.

Client experiences often reflect the structured nature of the process. One homeowner described a whole-roof and siding replacement following hail damage, noting that the company handled the insurance claim documentation thoroughly and maintained consistent communication from inspection through the final walkthrough. Another customer reported that a roof replacement was completed efficiently in a single day, with professional cleanup and direct leadership involvement when clarification was needed.

Such outcomes are rarely accidental. They are typically the result of standardized procedures and experienced crews.

Storm Damage Restoration with Documentation Expertise

Western Wisconsin properties regularly experience hailstorms, straight-line winds, and heavy precipitation. Storm damage restoration requires more than surface-level repair.

A proper storm damage assessment includes:

• Identification of shingle bruising and granule loss

• Evaluation of flashing damage

• Gutter and downspout impact review

• Water intrusion inspection

• Structural decking evaluation

• Chimney condition assessment

• Siding evaluations

• Damage to A/C units and outdoor furniture

• Thorough inspection of soft metals

Detailed photographic documentation and written assessments support the insurance claim process. Adjuster coordination requires familiarity with industry estimating tools and building code compliance requirements.

Emergency roof tarping may be deployed to prevent further moisture damage before reconstruction. When permanent repairs are performed, installations comply with local building authority requirements and incorporate underlayment systems, drip edge components, and manufacture specifications for ventilation.

One review highlighted extensive legwork performed to secure appropriate insurance coverage for storm-related damage that had initially been underestimated. Another customer described a prompt roof inspection within 24 hours of straight-line wind damage, even though other contractors had not responded.

Storm restoration is often where technical expertise and organizational discipline matter most.

Siding and the Integrity of the Building Envelope

Exterior cladding serves as the first defense against moisture infiltration. Improper installation can compromise insulation, framing, and interior finishes.

CV Exteriors installs:

• Vinyl siding

• LP SmartSide engineered wood siding

• Soffit and fascia assemblies

• Weather-resistive barriers and house wrap

Each siding installation incorporates flashing integration and fastening patterns that account for expansion and contraction in fluctuating Midwest temperatures. Sheathing is evaluated before installation to identify deterioration or mold risk. 

By strengthening the building envelope, siding installation improves energy efficiency and long-term durability while enhancing curb appeal.

Window and Door Systems Designed for Performance

Energy-efficient windows and doors influence thermal performance, indoor comfort, and HVAC load.

Window installations include:

• Low-E glass

• Insulated glass units (IGU)

• Double-pane and triple-pane systems

• Flashing tape and air sealing

• Proper shimming and alignment

Installations comply with International Residential Code standards and focus on U-factor performance, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient balance, and moisture control.

Door installation services include entry doors, patio doors, and storm doors, with reinforced framing and integrated weatherstripping. Proper threshold sealing and flashing placement reduce air leakage and protect against water intrusion.

Homeowners frequently report improved comfort and reduced drafts following these upgrades, outcomes that reflect careful installation rather than product selection alone.

Gutter Systems and Drainage Engineering

Rainwater management is foundational to long-term structural stability. Poor drainage can lead to soil erosion, basement flooding, and foundation damage.

The company installs:

• Seamless aluminum gutters

• Downspouts

• Gutter guards

• Hanger spacing

• Drainage engineering

Correct pitch calculation ensures efficient water flow. Downspout extensions direct runoff away from foundations, reducing settlement risks. Integrated systems help mitigate ice dam formation during the winter months.

Drainage is often overlooked until failure occurs. Proper installation helps prevent that failure.

Multifamily and Commercial Roofing Expertise

Beyond single-family homes, CV Exteriors provides multifamily and commercial roofing services, including:

• TPO roofing

• EPDM roofing

• PVC roofing

• Modified bitumen systems

• Low-slope roofing assemblies

• Roof coating systems

These projects require coordination with property managers, safety compliance under OSHA guidelines, and long-term lifecycle planning. Roof membrane performance, insulation R-value, and drainage system integration are critical components in these environments.
