How much does roof replacement cost in Madison, WI?

Full roof replacement in the Midwest typically runs $8,000–$18,000, depending on square footage, roof pitch, and material. Architectural shingles are the most common choice; metal roofing costs more upfront but carries a longer service life. Storm damage, decking repair, and flashing around chimneys or skylights add to the final cost.

How long does a roof last in the Midwest?

Standard architectural asphalt shingles last 25–30 years in Midwest climates, though hail, ice damming, and high-wind events can shorten that considerably. Metal roofing lasts significantly longer. Annual inspections and prompt minor repairs are the most cost-effective way to maximize the lifespan of any roofing system.

Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Madison, WI?

Most Midwest municipalities require a permit for full roof replacement. Permits ensure the building department inspects decking condition, underlayment installation, and code-compliant ventilation. Partial repairs often do not require one. Your contractor is responsible for obtaining all required permits before work begins.
