We are exterior contractors working in Sun Prairie from a shop 11 miles away on S. Stoughton Road, with 107 completed jobs inside the 53590 ZIP code. Roofing, siding, windows, gutters and storm restoration — from the older homes off Main Street to the newest builds in Smith’s Crossing.
Tear-off and replacement, storm damage repair, and leak diagnosis on asphalt, metal, and flat systems. Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles are hard on roofs — most of what we replace failed at the flashing and ice dam line, not in the field.
Full-frame and insert replacement in vinyl, fiberglass, and clad wood. In a Wisconsin winter the payback shows up on the January gas bill — we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing units are worth keeping.
Fiber cement, engineered wood, vinyl, and steel. We pull the old course back far enough to check sheathing and house wrap — cupping and buckling are usually a moisture problem, not a siding problem.
Seamless aluminum formed on site, oversized 6″ runs, and guard systems. Most ice dam calls we take are a gutter and ventilation issue combined — worth fixing together rather than one at a time.
Same-day emergency tarping, a free HAAG-certified documented inspection, and we meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed. After a storm, two things matter — stopping active damage now and getting a fair, fully documented insurance claim.
When exterior damage can’t wait, our team is ready to help. We provide fast, dependable solutions for urgent roofing, siding, window, and storm-related issues to help protect your home from further damage.
Local conditions
Sun Prairie is a young city by housing stock, and it grew in concentrated bursts. That changes what fails, and when — age matters less here than it does in Madison, and weather matters more.
Main Street, downtown core
The oldest part of the city and the smallest share of it. Steeper roofs over original board decking, wood siding often buried under later material, and single-pane sash with storms added in the sixties. Work here has to be sequenced — there is no point putting new windows in before the sheathing behind them is sound.
Established neighborhoods
Second and third roof layers, hardboard or aluminum siding failing at the bottom courses, and aluminum-frame windows conducting cold straight through. This band is where a full exterior project returns the most, because every component reaches end of life at roughly the same time.
Post-boom subdivisions
The largest share of Sun Prairie and the reason most of our work here happens. Builder-grade three-tab roofs, first-generation vinyl siding, double-pane windows now failing their seals, and 5-inch gutters undersized for the roofs above them. All of it went in within a few years, so all of it comes due together.
Smith's Crossing, Prairie Lakes
Young components across the board, so nearly every call in this band is storm and hail rather than age. Damage on a six-year-old roof is invisible from the ground, and the siding and gutters on the same elevation usually took the same hit. If a storm just came through, we offer emergency roof tarping in Sun Prairie, same day.
Why one contractor
Most homeowners hire a roofer, then a siding company, then somebody for gutters. In Sun Prairie that costs more than it does almost anywhere, because everything is due at once.
Subdivisions here were built in concentrated bursts with identical materials. When your roof is due, your neighbor’s is too — and so is your siding, because it all went on the same year.
Ice damming is not a gutter problem or a roof problem. It is an attic ventilation problem that shows at the eave, and fixing it means touching insulation, intake vents, the roof edge and the gutter together. Here’s how to prevent ice dams at the source.
Once the siding is off, the flashing at every window and door is visible and accessible. Doing windows in the same project costs far less than doing them two years later.
Hail that damaged your roof almost always hit the siding, gutters and screens on the same elevation. One contractor documenting all of it is the difference between a complete claim and a partial one.
When the roofer blames the siding crew and the siding crew blames the roofer, you are the one holding the leak. Our 25-year workmanship warranty covers the whole envelope.
We file with the City of Sun Prairie once for the project rather than you coordinating three applications — and in the newer subdivisions we handle the HOA material and color approval too.
Permits & approvals
Every Dane County municipality runs its own process. Sun Prairie’s is separate from Madison’s, and we handle it as part of the job.
In the newer subdivisions there is usually a second approval — the HOA. We provide product and color documentation for submission and will not order material before it is approved. That is the most common cause of avoidable delay on a Sun Prairie exterior project.

Sun Prairie questions
The whole exterior. Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, soffit and fascia, and storm restoration across all of it. We are a general contractor for the building envelope, which means one contract, one crew schedule and one warranty rather than four companies pointing at each other.
Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way. Shared mobilization, one dumpster, one permit application and one set of scaffolding. It also means the transitions between trades — roof to fascia, siding to window flashing — are detailed by people accountable for both sides of the joint.
For roof replacement, siding replacement and window replacement, generally yes. The City of Sun Prairie runs its own process, separate from Madison’s. We pull it as part of the job rather than leaving it with you.
Often, particularly on siding color and material. We provide the product documentation for HOA submission and will not order material before approval is in hand. This comes up constantly in the newer Sun Prairie subdivisions and it is the most common cause of avoidable delay.
A roof is typically one day. Siding runs three to seven. Windows are usually a day for a whole home. A combined project on a typical Sun Prairie home runs one to two weeks of active work, scheduled so the house is never left open.
Usually yes — one event, one claim, one deductible, even when the roof, siding, gutters and screens are all involved. That is exactly why having one contractor document the whole exterior matters. Partial documentation is the most common reason homeowners end up paying for the second half themselves.
We operate from one shop at 2117 S Stoughton Road in Madison, 11 miles from downtown Sun Prairie. We do not have an office here and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What that distance buys you is the same crews and the same project managers on every job, rather than whoever was subcontracted that week.
