Roofing in New Glarus, WI
New Glarus is where the usual relationship between age and value breaks. The median house went up in 1958, thirty-one percent of the stock predates 1940 and seventy-two percent predates 1980, and yet median value is $282,700. Old housing carrying a high number means owners have been maintaining it, and it means a bad reroof costs more here than the shingle price suggests.
The state publishes no building inspector for the village. On the delegated municipality list dated 19 August 2026, New Glarus has a clerk contact and an empty inspector column. Green County holds no delegated authority to fall back on either, so the village office is the only place that can tell you what its ordinance requires.
That is worth acting on rather than worrying about. Ask the village clerk, before tear-off, whether a permit is required for a like-for-like reroof and whether an inspection follows. Wisconsin exempts repairs from permit and inspection at state level but lets any municipality require both by its own ordinance, and the inspector decides which category your job lands in.
Wind has been the recurring problem. On 28 May 2012 a trained spotter estimated eighty miles an hour in the town, writing off a car under a falling tree. On 22 July 2013 a sixty-one knot swath between here and Monticello left the village completely without power, at forty thousand dollars.
Two entries name roofs directly. On 8 June 2011 a home's roof and a backyard wooden deck were damaged by wind and heavy rain, and on 21 May 2024 a portion of an apartment roof was blown off. Those are the dates to hold a bidder to if the conversation turns to storm damage.
Watch how that 2011 event was filed. The same narrative appears twice in the database, once naming New Glarus and once naming Monticello, so the two villages each carry a record of what was one storm. Counting records rather than reading them will overstate what happened in either place.
On a pre-1980 house in the older part of the village, nothing in the state dwelling code reaches your reroof. That means the contract is the standard. We write the fastener count, the head lap, the valley flashing gauge and the underlayment into it by name, and mark which lines the state would require on a newer building.

Roofing work we do in New Glarus, WI
Janesville Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in New Glarus that we do in Janesville — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Metal Roofing — Metal is the one roof covering where the manufacturer's printed instructions become the rule, on both sides of the 1980 line. SPS 321.28 sends other roof coverings to the manufacturer's installation instructions or a nationally recognized standard, and then stops offering specifics of its own.
- Tile Roofing — We will install a tile roof in Janesville, and we will spend the first meeting trying to talk you out of it. That is not modesty about our crews.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Below the slope where shingles work, the Uniform Dwelling Code stops giving instructions and hands the job to the manufacturer. SPS 321.28 says other roof coverings are installed per the manufacturer's instructions or a nationally recognized standard, and that is the whole of the rule.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — Roof coatings work on metal and on low-slope membranes. They do not work on worn asphalt shingles, and the shingle rejuvenation spray being sold door to door around Janesville is the clearest example of a product that survives entirely on the absence of a rule.
- Roof Ventilation — Attic ventilation is governed by a different chapter of the Uniform Dwelling Code than the roof is, and that chapter took effect on a different day. SPS 322 became effective December 1, 1978.
- Skylights — Cutting a new skylight into a Janesville roof is an alteration, and whether the state code follows it into your house depends entirely on when the house was built. That is not a technicality.

About New Glarus, WI — and why local matters here
New Glarus sits in Green County with a population of roughly 2,266, close enough to Janesville that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Swiss Historical Village museum, New Glarus Woods State Park.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. New Glarus properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Green County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
