Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional insurance claim help in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. 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. So an estimator adding a line for code-required upgrades on a 1961 house ought to be able to name the requirement. We will not invoice your carrier for a code item we cannot point to in the section, and we will tell you when somebody else has. Naming the requirement is not a high bar.
Where the code does bite on a pre-1980 house is the other direction. SPS 321.28 forbids a new covering over a roof carrying two or more existing applications, or over a base that is water-soaked or deteriorated. That is a condition rule and it does not depend on the date, so a recover estimate on a two-layer roof simply cannot be built as written. Condition does not care what year the house went up.
That is the argument worth having with an adjuster, and it is an argument with a citation attached instead of an opinion. We supply the layer count with photographs, the deck condition, and the language of the section itself, then let the carrier work out the difference between what they scoped and what can lawfully be installed on your house. Carriers respond to sections. They do not respond to adjectives.
For post-1980 houses the ordinance and law conversation is more straightforward, because there is a code and its requirements are specific. Underlayment type, fastener count, valley construction, a cricket on any chimney over 30 inches. Those are documentable line items and carriers generally pay them once somebody shows them the section. The section language does most of the arguing, which keeps the conversation short and reasonably civil.
We do not file your claim for you and we are not public adjusters. What you get is a written, itemized scope, photographs keyed to slopes, and the code references that actually apply to your particular house. What you will not get is a roofer telling you a claim exists when the damage in front of us does not support one. That is a short-term sale and a long-term problem for everyone.
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 insurance claim help
The difference between insurance claim help that lasts and insurance claim help 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.
