Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional roof repair in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. 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.
Here is why. Water that has worked into a crack, under a tab, into a nail hole or into the cut edge of a shingle expands as it freezes and levers that opening slightly wider. Thaw, and the wider opening admits slightly more water. A January holding at ten degrees does this once. A March swinging through freezing every afternoon does it thirty times, and March is the month that breaks things in Rock County.
So the damage gathers where water can be held rather than where the roof is weakest. Nail heads that were overdriven at installation. The exposed cut edge of a valley shingle. Mortar joints on a chimney. A ridge cap whose seal let go a year ago. Flashing that has moved a fraction of a millimeter on every cycle until the fastener stopped gripping.
It also explains the thing homeowners find maddening: a leak that shows up in April on a roof that handled all of February. Nothing failed in the cold. The cycling opened a path and the first warm rain used it.
For a repair that means we replace rather than reseal. A bead of sealant into a joint that will move thirty more times before summer is a deferral with a price tag. Fasteners come out and go back into sound wood, flashings get re-set rather than coated, and anything already cracked comes off instead of getting filled.
Four things then decide whether the covering has earned the work: how many of these winters it has absorbed, whether the openings are gathered in one area or showing on every plane, whether the deck is sound under them, and whether the roof is carrying one application or two. Two means every patch begins by demolishing both of them back to bare wood, and the small job stops being small.
Where those answers go badly, the patch is simply the worse buy of the two, and a full replacement is what we will put a price against for you instead.
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.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof repair
The difference between roof repair that lasts and roof repair 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.
