Janesville Residential Roof Installation — Residential & Commercial

Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional residential roof installation in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. 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.

The inspection sequence in Wisconsin is written into the dwelling code, and the roof sits inside one of the steps rather than after all of them. Erosion control, foundation excavation, foundation reinforcement, the foundation before backfill, then a rough inspection covering general construction including framing, called after the work is built and before any of it is concealed. Insulation is inspected before it is covered, and the final comes before occupancy.

There is a clock on that sequence most homeowners never hear about. Work may not pass the point of inspection until the inspection has happened, except that construction may proceed if the inspector has not arrived by the end of the second business day after notice was given. Knowing that rule is the difference between a dried-in deck and a framed house standing open in a Rock County rain.

So we book new construction against the framer's calendar and call for inspection the day the deck is ready, not the day it suits us. The deck goes down, the eave membrane and underlayment dry it in, and the shingles follow once the rough inspection is behind us. That order protects both the framing and your schedule with every other trade.

We photograph the deck, the fasteners and the eave line the day they go in, because once shingles are on, the only way to check any of it is to take the roof apart again.

Ice dam protection is required where a shingled roof over a heated area has a slope of 4:12 or less, and then it runs at least 30 inches up the slope from the roof edge and at least 12 inches past the inner face of the exterior wall. We put membrane in the valleys regardless, because the labor is already up there and the deck is open.

Material is the least interesting decision here. Architectural asphalt over a correctly nailed deck is right on most new houses in this county.

Permits here issue against the Dwelling Contractor certification held by the business and the Qualifier certification held by a named person, and we name them apart because they are two separate credentials. If your general contractor already carries a roofer tied to his framing dates, keep him. We will quote the dry-in alone when that is the piece nobody has claimed.

Our 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.

The Full Scope

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.

The standards behind residential roof installation

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The residential roof installation work we do in Janesville follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.

Every residential roof installation project in Janesville gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
