The Exteriors Company is a licensed roofing contractor based in Fitchburg, installing asphalt shingles, SBS rubberized asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and TPO roofing systems across Madison and Dane County. We’re Malarkey Emerald Premium Contractor — the top 2% of contractors nationally — and every replacement carries a 25-year workmanship warranty.
Residential and commercial, across Madison, Dane County, & Southern Wisconsin.
Full tear-off to deck, decking inspected sheet by sheet, then the complete system reinstalled. 99% of roof installations within 1 day!
Leaks, missing shingles, failed pipe boots, and flashing pulled loose at the common flashing or chimney. We’ll tell you when a repair is the right call.
Free documented inspection for your insurer, we meet the adjuster on site, and we handle supplements when the initial scope comes in short.
Proper attic ventilation helps prevent ice dams, protect your roof, and improve energy efficiency. We follow GAF attic ventilation best practices.
Standing seam steel and aluminum with concealed fasteners. 26-Gauge sheds snow rather than holding it, which matters on north-facing slopes.
EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen roofing systems installed for lasting protection, energy efficiency, and dependable performance on commercial and low-slope roofs.
Ranges assume a typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft Madison home with full tear-off. Pitch, stories, valleys, skylights, and decking replacement move the number.
In Dane County the average workmanship term is 2 to 5 years. At The Exteriors Company, we stand behind our work with workmanship warranties of up to 25 years. We’re a local team that’s here when you need us – before, during, and long after the project is complete.
Four steps, and you’re only responsible for the first one.
We walk the roof and the attic, photograph what's failing, and check ventilation balance.
Line-item pricing with every component named — brand, product line, and quantity.
We pull the City of Madison permit and stage material. You get a start date and a crew lead's cell.
Full tear-off to deck, decking inspected, then the system goes on in order.
Magnet sweep, final walkthrough, and we register your manufacturer warranty.

Most Madison homes fall between $9,500 and $18,000 for a full architectural asphalt replacement on a 1,800 to 2,400 square foot house. Standing seam metal runs $24,000 to $45,000. What moves the number is pitch, number of stories, how many valleys and skylights break up the field, whether decking needs replacing, and whether ventilation has to be corrected. A two-story with dormers can cost more than a larger ranch with a simple roofline.
Shorter than the rating on the wrapper. A 30-year architectural shingle in Dane County realistically gives you 20 to 25, and the difference is almost always attic ventilation. Freeze-thaw cycling and ice damming punish the eaves, while a hot under-ventilated attic cooks shingles from below. Correct the ventilation and you get most of those years back.
Yes. The City of Madison Building Inspection Division requires a permit for roof replacement, and we pull it as part of the job rather than leaving it to you. Fitchburg, Middleton, Verona, Sun Prairie, and the other Dane County municipalities each have their own process, and we handle those the same way. If your home is in a historic district like Mansion Hill or Third Lake Ridge, visible material changes may need additional review.
It’s a certification limited to roughly 2% of US roofing contractors, requiring ongoing training, verified licensing and insurance, and a track record GAF audits. Practically, it’s what lets us offer the Golden Pledge — the only warranty where GAF inspects the finished roof and stands behind our labor, which means the coverage survives even if we don’t. See our full warranty terms.
Wisconsin allows two layers, and we generally won’t do it. You can’t inspect the decking, the second layer runs hotter and fails early, most manufacturers won’t extend a system warranty over it, and you pay twice for tear-off later. The savings are real but small, and they get spent within ten years.
If the damage came from a covered event like hail or wind, often yes. Age-related wear is never covered. Document before you repair anything, file within your policy’s window, and have someone who knows roofs meet the adjuster — the initial scope frequently misses damage, and supplements are routine. We inspect free and handle that process.
Depends on the season. Spring and post-storm periods run longest in Dane County. We’ll give you a real date at the estimate rather than a vague window, and emergency tarping happens same-day.
