When it comes to home improvement, we all want the “dream home” ending—but some home issues can turn into full-blown renovation nightmares if left unchecked! Whether it's creaky floors or mysterious leaks, certain repairs have a way of going from "I can live with that" to "why didn’t I call a contractor sooner?!"


At Badgerland Restoration & Remodeling, we know a thing or two about saving homes from creepy-crawly problems and unexpected disasters. So, grab a flashlight (or just a warm cup of hot coco), and let’s dive into some of the scariest home repairs lurking in the shadows.




Leaky Roofs: The (Unwanted) Drip-Drip in the Night


A leaky roof can turn into a horror show in no time. What starts as a small drip can lead to stained ceilings, mold growth, and water-damaged walls. When water finds its way into the attic, it creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can ruin insulation and weaken the structure of your home. Imagine waking up to water dripping right on your bed!


How We Save the Day: Badgerland is GAF Master Elite certified, meaning we’re roofing pros equipped to tackle leaks head-on. We use high-quality materials that are built to last so you can rest easy, knowing your roof will withstand the elements. Click HERE to find out more about our roofing options.


Drafty Windows: The Cold, Ghostly Breeze


Ever feel that cold draft suddenly chill you to the bone while you’re watching TV? Drafty windows are no friend to your heating bill—or your comfort! When windows aren’t properly sealed, they let in more than just a little air; they let in cold breezes, bugs, and noise, too. Not only does this make your home feel less cozy, but it also costs you a fortune in heating and cooling.


How We Save the Day: As certified installers for Renewal by Andersen, we specialize in energy-efficient windows that look fantastic *and* save money. With windows that seal tight, those ghostly drafts will be a thing of the past. Click HERE to learn more about the windows we offer.

Rotting Siding: The “What’s That Smell?” Mystery


Rotting siding is one of those issues that you might not notice until it’s too late, but once you do, it’s impossible to ignore. It starts with a faint musty smell, and before long, you’ve got peeling paint, warping, and maybe even pest invasions. Not only does rotting siding look unsightly, but it also compromises your home’s structural integrity, inviting more moisture and pests inside.



How We Save the Day: Our siding team doesn’t mess around. We offer a variety of durable, stylish siding options from brands like Norandex and CertainTeed that can handle Wisconsin’s wild weather without rotting or fading. Click HERE to check out what siding options we offer.


Cracked Foundation: The Fault Line Below


A cracked foundation is like the stuff of a horror movie—a crack here, a crack there, and suddenly you’re looking at serious structural issues that can spread throughout your home. Foundations shift naturally over time, but large cracks can lead to uneven floors, stubborn doors, and windows that just won’t open. Plus, if moisture gets in, you could be dealing with basement flooding or a constant damp feeling.


How We Save the Day: We’re experts at addressing underlying foundation issues before they get worse. With top-notch materials and know-how, our team can help make sure your home stays stable and secure.



Blocked Gutters: The Silent Threat Above


Gutters are easy to forget about—until they’re clogged with leaves, debris, and who knows what else. Blocked gutters lead to rainwater cascading down your home’s walls, which not only erodes the foundation but also invites mold and mildew to form around windows and siding. It’s a recipe for disaster (and water damage) if left unattended.


How We Save the Day: We don’t just clean out the gunk; we make sure your gutters are ready for whatever nature throws at them. With a well-maintained gutter system, you can protect your home’s siding, foundation, and landscaping from water damage.
