BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
Madison winters run long and cold, and the freeze-thaw cycling that comes with them is hard on a roof in ways that aren't always visible until a leak shows up. Heavy snow load through a Wisconsin winter only adds to the strain.

This is one of the colder metros in the Midwest, with a season long enough that snow does not come and go — it arrives and stays until spring. That sustained load and sustained cold mean the assembly under the shingles matters more here than the shingles themselves. Ice-and-water membrane well past the eave line, generous intake and exhaust ventilation, and honest insulation depth are not upgrades in Dane County. They are the roof.
The older neighborhoods around the isthmus are full of homes from the early 1900s with steep pitches, dormers, complicated valleys and original framing. Those rooflines are beautiful and they are unforgiving — the leaks come at transitions, not in the open field, and a crew working fast will bury the problem rather than solve it. Chimney and sidewall flashing on a house this old is skilled work, not a line item.
Asphalt shingles need warmth to seal. Installed in deep cold without hand-sealing, they can sit unbonded for months, which is exactly the condition wind exploits. If someone is quoting you a full tear-off in January, ask specifically how they plan to get the shingles to seal. It is a fair question and the answer tells you a great deal about the contractor.
Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics. In a climate this hard, the warranty is not a marketing line — it is the thing you will actually be relying on.
Yes - Madison plus Middleton, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Verona, Waunakee, Monona and McFarland.
It can, but asphalt shingles need warmth to seal and may sit unbonded in deep cold unless they are hand-sealed. Ask any contractor specifically how they will handle sealing.
The assembly under the shingles - ice-and-water membrane past the eave, real attic ventilation and proper insulation depth. Those do more here than upgrading the shingle line.
Most replacements run $11,000 to $17,000 depending on size, pitch, complexity and decking. Older isthmus homes with complex rooflines run higher.
Madison winters bring heavy snow, deep cold and long freeze-thaw seasons, and the humidity off Lakes Mendota and Monona adds moisture to the mix. Snow sitting on a poorly ventilated roof builds ice dams that leak at the eaves.
Spring and summer storms bring hail and damaging winds across Dane County, and the area sees its share of tornado warnings.
We serve Madison and the surrounding Dane County communities.
Madison housing runs from older homes on the isthmus and near campus to postwar neighborhoods on the west side and newer homes in Sun Prairie, Verona and Fitchburg. Landlords near the University of Wisconsin often manage several roofs of different ages.
Every Madison replacement includes a full tear-off, decking repair, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and balanced ventilation, installed by certified crews and backed by our lifetime warranty.
Ice-dam leaks, wind-torn shingles, chimney flashing failures and cracked pipe boots are the most common Madison repairs.
After a storm, we inspect and photograph the roof so you know whether you have a claim. For landlords, we can document damage across several properties at once.
