Our shop is at 2117 S Stoughton Road, and we have completed 956 roofing and exterior jobs inside Madison city limits. That is not a service radius we drive to. It is the city we work in every day, from the century-old homes on the isthmus to the 2010s builds out past Junction Road.
Madison’s housing stock swings harder than almost any city its size, and the roof problems track the build era precisely. Here is what we find at each end.
Isthmus, Marquette, Tenney-Lapham
Madison’s housing stock swings harder than almost any city its size, and the roof problems track the build era precisely. Here is what we find at each end.
Nakoma, Westmorland, Eken Park
Post-war ranches and Cape Cods, most now on their second or third roof. Wisconsin allows two layers and we generally will not add one, because you cannot inspect decking through a layover and the second layer runs hot and fails years early.
East side, Meadowood, Sherman
Builder-grade three-tab shingles from the 1990s are at end of life right now across this band. Rooflines get more complex here, which means flashing and valley detail matter more than shingle brand.
Far west side, Grandview Commons
Young roofs, so these calls are almost entirely storm and hail claims rather than age. Bruising on an eight-year-old roof is invisible from the ground and gets denied without proper documentation.
Residential and commercial, across Madison, Dane County, & Southern Wisconsin.
Full tear-off to the deck, decking inspected sheet by sheet. Most installs finish in a single day.
Leaks, failed pipe boots, missing shingles, flashing pulled loose at the chimney. We will tell you when a repair is the right call.
Documented free inspection for your insurer, and we meet the adjuster on site.
Balanced intake and exhaust. The fix for ice damming is almost never more shingles.
26-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Sheds snow instead of holding it.
EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen for porch roofs, additions and dormers.
Pitch, stories, valleys, skylights, decking replacement and ventilation corrections all move the number. A two-story near Marquette with dormers can cost more than a larger ranch on the west side with a simple roofline.

Yes. The City of Madison requires a permit for roof replacement through the Building Inspection Division, and it is separate from the process in Middleton, Fitchburg or Sun Prairie. We pull it as part of the job.
Shorter than the number on the wrapper. A 30-year architectural shingle realistically gives you 20 to 25 years here, and the difference is almost always attic ventilation. Freeze-thaw cycling punishes the eaves while a hot, under-ventilated attic cooks the shingles from below.
It can. Homes in districts like Mansion Hill, Third Lake Ridge and University Heights may require additional review before visible material changes. We will tell you at the estimate whether your address is affected and what that adds to the timeline.
Wisconsin allows two layers, and we generally will not do it. You cannot inspect the decking through a layover, the second layer runs hotter and fails early, and the tear-off you avoid today gets more expensive later.
Yes, within limits. Shingles need to seal, so we watch temperatures and adjust technique. Emergency repairs and tarping happen year-round regardless of conditions.
We inspect free, document for your insurer, meet the adjuster on site, and handle supplements when the initial scope comes in short. You file the claim and we handle the rest.
