Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional storm damage restoration in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. 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. Above June 1, 1980 the two-layer rule is state law and an inspector can enforce it. Below that date the code does not reach the work at all, so the same third layer is legal, cheap and still a genuinely bad idea.
We count layers by lifting shingles at the rake and at a valley, not by squinting from the driveway. Then we put the count in writing before anything goes to your carrier. Adjusters price recovers by default. A roof carrying two applications already cannot take a recover on the north half and a tear-off on the south, and the scope has to say so. So we settle the count first and argue about shingle color later.
The same section covers condition. A new covering may not go over a roof or covering that is water-soaked or has deteriorated to the point that it is no longer an adequate base. On storm work that is the common finding: the shingles look survivable from above, and the sheathing under the valley has been wet since the last event and has lost its nail grip.
So our storm scope comes in two parts. What the wind or hail actually did, slope by slope, with photographs. And what the assembly underneath will and will not support, with the layer count and the deck condition stated plainly. Carriers argue with opinions all day. They argue much less with a layer count and a moisture reading. Both of those are facts with photographs attached, and facts travel better through a claims file than adjectives do.
We work the sequence in order: dry the building in first, document second, negotiate third, build last. Tarping is not a bargaining chip and we do not hold it hostage to a signed contract. If you want a second opinion after we have covered the hole, go get one. We would rather lose the job than be the reason a ceiling came down. That has cost us jobs and we are fine with it.
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 storm damage restoration
The difference between storm damage restoration that lasts and storm damage restoration 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.
