April 2008 - Spring hailstorm in Central and Northern Wisconsin puts roofs to the toughness test.

On Friday, April 25, a storm hurling hail from just under an inch to over 4 inches in diameter cut a swath on a relatively straight line from Vesper through Marathon, Merrill, and Tomahawk, and in isolated cells elsewhere. It is certain that this storm damaged many roofs in its path, which must be claimed under insurance policies and replaced. Kulp's of Stratford has the requisite experience in dealing with insurance companies, and can help you through the process of negotiating the claim and replacing your roof. At the same time, we encourage our clients to consider upgrading to products with greater hail resistance and a much longer life.

Look for more information to be posted on this page in the near future. Meanwhile, browse our website to view examples of what your home could look like with a new roof! Contact us by phone, e-mail, or by using the form at left, when you are ready.

January 2008 - Kulp's of Stratford introduces its new HomeWorks division, specializing in exterior home improvements below the roof.

A home is one of the biggest investments many of us make, and it just makes good sense to keep it looking great, and efficient in protecting us from the elements. Kulp's of Stratford has been protecting and beautifying homes for many years with premium roofs and efficient insulation systems. Now we are introducing our new HomeWorks division so we can offer you even more with windows, siding, decks, and even basement or attic finish-outs. The Kulp's team knows just how important your home is to you, and will approach every project with the values of integrity, respect, accountability, openness, and caring that have set us apart over the 23 years we have served central Wisconsin. Offering these additional services allows us to better fulfill our mission as the "professionals bringing beauty, comfort, and value to the places you live and the spaces we share."

November 2007 - Wisconsin Rapids homeowner chooses Kulp's of Stratford to remove and replace hail-damaged asbestos slate roof.

On June 7, 2007, a devastating hail storm struck Wisconsin Rapids in the late afternoon hours, with 4 inch and larger hailstones in some areas. Hundreds of roofs were damaged, including the roof on a home on 3rd Street South, near Riverview Hospital. The asbestos-slate shingles were damaged to the point of needing replacement, and Kulp's of Stratford rose to the occasion with their crew of asbestos-certified roofing professionals. After removing the slates and re-sheathing the roof deck, they installed high-definition Elk Domain Winslow shingles, in Stonehenge color. Follow the link below for a photo of the completed roof on this lovely Queen Anne home.

July 2007- Kulp's of Stratford and Marathon Metals provide copper fabrication and roofing services for Yawkey House Restoration Project.

The beautiful and historic Yawkey House, operated by the Marathon County Historical Society, at 403 McIndoe Street, Wausau, Wisconsin, is being meticulously restored by Hase Building and Design, Inc., also of Wausau. Marathon Metals and Kulp's of Stratford are honored to be able to participate in the worthy work of restoring this architectural gem symbolic of the Wausau area's history. Cyrus and Alice Yawkey had this home built in 1900-1901, and it is now being restored to its appearance circa 1915. Cyrus was a partner in the Yawkey and Lee Lumber Company in northern Wisconsin, before moving to Wausau to lead the Wausau Group, which was composed of wealthy lumbermen who pooled their resources to improve Wausau's economy at the beginning of the last century.

Marathon Metals is providing the fabricated copper trims on the house and the gutters on the carriage house. Kulp's is in the process of re-roofing the carriage house roof to match the main house, and installing the internal copper gutters that had been covered by the current roof for many years. Drive by this project throughout this summer and watch the restoration in progress.

May 2007- Kulp's of Stratford installs Decra Stone-Coated Steel Tile roof in Stevens Point.

The owner of a unique home in a lovely setting on the Wisconsin River in Stevens Point wanted a beautiful roof for his home that would last for many years longer than the original roof. He was also wanted to make certain that the spacing of the Decra stone-coated steel tiles on the different pitches of the roof looked great when viewed from any angle. Kulp's of Stratford worked with this homeowner to meet his aesthetic concerns, with excellent results, as you can see by going to the link below.

March 2007- Kulp's of Stratford completes work on the high profile First Wausau Tower roof.

Downtown Wausau looks different these days, thanks to the new, 11-story First Wausau Tower, otherwise known as the Dudley Tower. Kulp's of Stratford installed both the flat portions of the roof and the very visible silver metallic standing seam steel roof with snow brakes spaced every five feet, giving the tower a distinctive and beautiful appearance. Kulp's also installed the spray foam insulation on the inside of the exterior walls, greatly enhancing energy efficiency when compared with other insulation systems. We are gratified to have been able to contribute significantly to this monumental project in our part of Wisconsin.
