Every Roofing Service We Offer in Janesville, WI

New work, not tear-off. A house in frame, an addition or dormer, a garage or accessory unit, or a deck going back to bare wood because the sheathing is being replaced rather than the covering. Failed roofs, tear-off and disposal are on our roof replacement page.

Residential Roof Installation in Janesville, WI

The Uniform Dwelling Code stops at two families. Add a third unit and the building leaves chapters SPS 320 through 325 altogether and falls under the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code, chapters SPS 361 through 366, which is built on the International Building Code. In Janesville that line runs straight through the housing stock.

A full reroof in Janesville starts with a question that has nothing to do with shingles: what year was the house built? The answer decides which rulebook governs the work, and it moves the scope more than any brand choice ever will. Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code, chapters SPS 320 through 325 of the state administrative code, took effect June 1, 1980.

Cold does not damage a roof. Crossing from above freezing to below it does, and southern Wisconsin does that far more often than its winter reputation would suggest. The count of crossings through that line is the number that matters here, not the low reading on anybody's thermometer.

Asphalt covers almost every roof in Janesville, and the Uniform Dwelling Code is unusually specific about it. What changes with the year on the deed is not the right way to install a shingle. It is who has the standing to make you do it that way.

• three tab shingle replacement
• ASTM D3462 shingles
• synthetic underlayment
• felt underlayment

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. On a Janesville house that usually means a porch roof, a rear addition or a dormer connector, and it means the written specification is the only enforceable document anywhere in the transaction.

• low slope porch roof
• EPDM rubber roof
• TPO membrane roof

• ponding water roof
• tapered insulation
• addition roof membrane

Here is the part almost nobody in this trade says out loud: Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code has no hail requirement. Read SPS 321.28 end to end and there is not a word about impact resistance, Class 4 ratings or UL 2218. Not above the 1980 line and not below it.

• impact resistant shingles
• Class 4 shingle discount
• hail test square
• granule loss inspection

Code upgrade coverage is where a lot of Janesville claims go sideways. Ordinance and law coverage pays to bring damaged work up to current code, and on a house built before June 1, 1980 there is frequently no current state code for the reroof to be brought up to. SPS 320.05 puts pre-code dwellings, and alterations to them, outside the Uniform Dwelling Code.

• roof insurance claim Janesville
• ordinance and law coverage
• code upgrade coverage
• adjuster roof scope
• supplement documentation
• recoverable depreciation
• roof claim denial
• itemized roof estimate
• layer count documentation
• storm claim support

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. That is more consequential than it sounds.

• standing seam steel roof
• concealed clip metal panel
• exposed fastener panel
• metal over shingles
• high temperature underlayment
• agricultural metal roofing

A leak repair in Janesville is unregulated work on every house in the city, whatever year it went up. SPS 320.05 puts repairs and maintenance outside the Uniform Dwelling Code entirely. That is not a loophole somebody found.

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. It decides whether anybody reviews the framing you are about to cut through.

After a storm the first thing we count on a Janesville roof is layers. SPS 321.28 forbids laying a new covering over existing roofing where two or more applications are already down, and pre-1980 houses in this city very often have exactly two. That single clause decides whether your storm job is a recover or a tear-off, and it moves the number by thousands of dollars.

• roof storm restoration
• layer count inspection
• tear-off versus recover
• storm roof inspection
• deteriorated deck replacement

Wind rarely takes a roof that was fastened properly. In Janesville the difference usually comes down to two numbers written into SPS 321.28, and to whether the house sits on the side of the 1980 line where those numbers were legally binding on the installer. The section calls for at least four fasteners per strip shingle, or two per interlocking shingle, unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise, plus a head lap of at least two inches.

• wind damage roof repair Janesville
• blown off shingles
• high nailing repair
• shingle sealant strip

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Janesville and south central Wisconsin. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
