Prairie Exteriors stepped up to the plate to paint my house after another contractor had to back out for health reasons. The staff, both in the office and on site, were personable and professional. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
Since Google won’t let me leave another review, I’ll edit this one. Prairie Exteriors just replaced all the windows and the door on my sun porch. They kept me in the loop during supply chain issues and were once again professional and took pride in the work. My room looks wonderful!

FAQs
How does Wisconsin’s climate affect insulation material choices?
Wisconsin’s extreme temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles require insulation that maintains R-value performance year-round. Materials must resist moisture absorption during humid summers and provide consistent thermal protection when temperatures drop below -20°F for extended periods.
What permits are required for insulation upgrades in Wisconsin?
Most attic insulation projects don’t require permits, but wall insulation and whole-house retrofits may need building permits from your local municipality. Your contractor should verify permit requirements and handle applications to ensure code compliance throughout the installation process.
How do I prevent ice dams when upgrading insulation?
Proper ice dam prevention requires combining adequate insulation levels with comprehensive air sealing and balanced attic ventilation. The insulation keeps heat inside your home while ventilation maintains cold attic temperatures, preventing snow melt and refreeze cycles that create damaging ice formations.
Can I combine different insulation brands in the same home?
Yes, you can use different brands for different applications, such as CertainTeed blown-in for attics and Owens Corning batts for walls. The key is ensuring proper installation techniques and achieving the required R-values for each area, regardless of which manufacturer’s products you choose.
What maintenance does insulation require in Wisconsin homes?
Quality insulation requires minimal maintenance, but annual attic inspections help identify settling, moisture issues, or rodent damage. Check for compressed areas after severe storms and ensure attic ventilation remains unblocked to maintain optimal performance throughout Wisconsin’s seasonal weather patterns.
