Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional hail damage roofing in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. 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.
So when a salesman tells you an impact-rated shingle is what the code wants in Janesville, he is either confused or counting on you not to check. There is no such rule in this state. An impact-rated shingle is a purely economic decision, and it can still be a very good one, but the case for it has to be made on money rather than on law.
The money case goes like this. A Class 4 laminate typically costs more per square than a standard architectural shingle. Some Wisconsin carriers discount the dwelling portion of your premium for one. If your insurer offers that discount and you plan to stay in the house fifteen years, the upgrade usually pays for itself. If they do not offer it, it usually does not.
The pre-1980 wrinkle is that on an older Janesville house the code will not be doing any of the deciding. Nothing forces the upgrade, nothing forbids it, and nothing about the reroof triggers a review by anyone. So we run the numbers with you against your actual policy language instead of against a requirement that does not exist. The only thing the reroof triggers is the manufacturer's warranty conditions, which is a separate document with separate requirements.
On the damage side, hail on asphalt reads as circular granule loss with a bruised, soft mat underneath, and it does not repeat in a pattern the way mechanical damage does. Soft metals tell the truer story. We check gutter aprons, vent caps and the furnace flue hood, because those dent at a lower threshold than the shingle mat does. One hard hit on a downspout elbow tells us more than twenty minutes of squinting at shingles.
We mark test squares on each slope, photograph the hits with a scale in the frame, and give you the count per hundred square feet. Where the count will not support a claim, we tell you plainly and quote the repair instead. A claim that gets denied still sits on your loss history, and we are not going to hand you that for the sake of a job.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — No. 15 asphalt-impregnated felt underlayment, ASTM D4869 Type I underlayment felt, ring-shank nails set into 1x6 board sheathing, No. 28 gauge open-valley sheet metal, 50-pound roll roofing in closed valleys, step flashing and masonry chimney crickets — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Janesville and nearby communities including Beloit, Edgerton, Milton, Evansville.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roofing
The difference between hail damage roofing that lasts and hail damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with No. 15 asphalt-impregnated felt underlayment, ASTM D4869 Type I underlayment felt, ring-shank nails set into 1x6 board sheathing, No. 28 gauge open-valley sheet metal, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Janesville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in south central Wisconsin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Janesville Chooses Janesville Premium Roofing
- ✓We pull the assessor's construction year before we price a roof, because June 1, 1980 decides whether the state code governs your reroof or your contract has to.
- ✓Our estimates name specifications rather than adjectives: No. 15 felt or a labeled ASTM D226 Type I synthetic, four fasteners per strip shingle, a two-inch head lap.
- ✓We count existing layers by lifting shingles at the rake and a valley, and the count goes in writing before anything is sent to your insurance carrier.
- ✓We go in the attic on every inspection. Fastener rust, valley staining and packed eaves show on the underside of the sheathing long before they show on top.
