Premium Shingle Options for Madison Homes
We offer a variety of high-quality shingle products specifically selected for performance in Wisconsin's demanding climate:
Architectural Shingles provide dimensional appearance, excellent durability, and superior wind resistance (130+ mph ratings available). Their layered construction creates beautiful shadow lines and distinctive texture that enhances curb appeal. These premium shingles typically carry 30-50 year warranties, making them ideal for most Madison homes.
Impact-Resistant Shingles deliver enhanced protection against hail and falling debris—increasingly important with Madison's occasionally severe summer storms. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with qualified impact-resistant roofing.
Designer Shingles mimic the appearance of slate or wood shake at a fraction of the cost. These premium options are perfect for upscale Madison neighborhoods and historic homes where appearance is paramount.
Energy-Efficient Cool Roof Shingles feature reflective granules that reduce heat absorption, improving summer comfort and potentially reducing cooling costs during Madison's humid summers.

Common Questions About Shingle Roofing
How long do shingle roofs last in Madison's climate?
Modern architectural shingles typically last 25-30 years on Madison homes, while premium designer shingles can last 30-40+ years with proper installation and maintenance. Factors affecting longevity include installation quality, attic ventilation, tree coverage, and exposure to extreme weather. Homes in exposed locations near Madison's lakes may experience slightly faster wear due to increased wind exposure.
What's the best time of year for shingle roof installation in Wisconsin?
While we install roofs year-round, the ideal window for Madison shingle installations is May through October when temperatures consistently remain above 45°F—necessary for proper shingle sealing. Fall installations are particularly advantageous as the cooler temperatures allow for easier handling while still warm enough for proper adhesion before winter arrives.
How do you ensure proper ventilation for Madison roofs?
Proper ventilation is critical in Wisconsin's climate to prevent moisture damage and ice dams. We calculate the exact ventilation requirements for your specific roof based on attic square footage and design. Our systems typically combine ridge vents, soffit vents, and sometimes power ventilators to create balanced airflow that prevents condensation in winter and excessive heat buildup during summer.
What should I look for when hiring a Madison roofing contractor?
Choose a contractor with manufacturer certifications, proper insurance coverage, strong local references, and specific experience with Madison homes. Ask about their knowledge of Wisconsin building codes, ice dam prevention techniques, and their approach to our region's specific challenges. Verify they pull proper permits and understand the requirements for historic properties if applicable to your neighborhood.
