Residential Roofing Installation & Replacement for Wisconsin Homes
A Wisconsin home needs a roofing system built to handle everything the Midwest throws at it: extreme snow loads, strong storms, seasonal heat, and brutal hail. As local Wisconsin residential roofing contractors, Sun Vault Roofing helps homeowners choose and install the right asphalt, composite, or low-slope system for maximum durability, style, and long-term protection.
Residential Roof Installation & Replacement
We specialize in full roof system replacements using materials designed specifically for Midwest climates. Whether you’re replacing an aging roof or building new, we’ll help you find the best fit for your home’s style and needs. If your roof has recently been impacted by severe weather, visit our page on Storm Damage Inspections & Repair.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
We partner with leading manufacturers like CertainTeed to provide high-quality asphalt shingles known for their superior wind and hail resistance. This remains the most popular, cost-effective, and versatile option for Wisconsin homes.
Premium Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Concerned about future hail damage or interested in a premium, upscale look? In addition to standard class 3-impact rated asphalt shingles, we are also experts in installing premium Class 4-impacted rated shingles. Many insurers provide discounts on homeowners’ policy premiums for customers who opt for this additional protection. Contact us today to determine if these options are right for you.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a hot topic, but it may not be the best long-term investment for Wisconsin homeowners. While marketed for a “50+ year lifespan,” Midwest climates can lead to issues like expansion, noise, and fastener wear due to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and hail. Before investing in a metal roof, consider the performance, maintenance, and resale value compared to asphalt roofs.
What About Solar?
Your roof replacement project is the best time to go solar if you want to maximize your investment and reduce overhead. Take care of both projects at once with our single, unified crew. We offer both innovative, integrated solar shingle roofs and conventional rack-mounted solar panels. Not sure which option is right for your home? Let us help you decide whether solar roofing or solar panels are the best option for you.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Porches, additions, and low-slope garages need specialized membranes to prevent water leaking and pooling. We install high-performance TPO and EPDM systems that are engineered to keep these challenging areas watertight year-round.
Comprehensive Roof Edge Protection (Soffit & Fascia)
Your soffit and fascia are the foundation of your entire roof system. They protect the roof's edge and help manage attic ventilation, a critical factor in elongating roof lifespan and preventing ice dams in the cold Wisconsin months. We offer repair, replacement, and upgrades to preserve your home’s ventilation and curb appeal. We ensure perfect installation, which is key to protecting your new roof and working seamlessly with your gutter system.
"Fantastic service, they got the whole roof replaced in a day. Once complete, the place looked better than before, you couldn't even tell a major construction project just occurred (outside of a stunning new roof!). Sun Vault went above and beyond, as they touched up the siding and addressed any minor issues they encountered along the way. It was such a quick and easy experience, I'm elated to have gone with Sun Vault for this project."

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask when choosing a roofing contractor?
Start with the basics. Ask any roofing contractor in Wisconsin whether they are licensed and insured. If the answer is no, walk away. From there, focus on how they communicate. Ask about their roof inspection process, what happens if plans change, who your point of contact will be, and how they will protect your property during and after the job. A trustworthy local roofing company should give clear, direct answers without dodging or overselling.
Read more in our guide about what questions to ask your roofing contractor.
Do you need to go into my attic?
In most cases, no. A standard roof inspection can be completed from the exterior by inspecting the roof surface, flashing, penetrations, and overall condition.
There are situations where an attic inspection is helpful, such as when we are tracking down the source of an active emergency leak or evaluating ventilation or insulation issues that may be contributing to problems like moisture buildup, warping, or ice dams. If attic access would be useful, we’ll explain why and ask for permission first.
If you’re uncomfortable with attic access, that’s completely fine. We can still perform a thorough exterior inspection and discuss next steps based on what we observe from the roof.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin with a free, no-pressure inspection and consultation. From there, we provide a custom quote and walk you through your options—whether you’re considering a roof-only replacement or an integrated solar system. We also handle related services like gutter repair or cleaning to ensure your entire system functions seamlessly, and we manage all aspects from permitting to installation.
I have a commercial property. Can you help with that?
Yes! We provide commercial roofing services, including flat roof replacements and commercial solar roofing options, for properties such as offices, retail buildings, and multi-unit housing. If you are exploring a commercial flat roof project or want to add solar to a commercial building, we can evaluate the roof, discuss membrane or asphalt options, and help you decide whether solar shingles or conventional solar panels make the most sense.
Can you replace a roof in winter in Wisconsin?
Sometimes, yes. Emergency leaks or structural issues may require winter work, but cold-weather installations come with tradeoffs. Shingles need certain temperatures to seal, materials can be more brittle, and workmanship must be extra careful. For urgent problems we may be able to make temporary repairs, partial replacements, or full replacements when conditions allow. Our winter roofing guide explains when it is safe to proceed now and when it is smarter to wait for spring.
What shingle color do you recommend for Wisconsin homes?
It depends on your home’s style, siding, and what kind of look you want to live with for the next twenty or more years. Grays, browns, and weathered wood tones are popular shingle colors in Wisconsin, but the best choice is the one that complements your trim, brick, and surroundings. The most important part of choosing a shingle color is seeing samples in natural light at different times of day. Our guide on how to choose the right shingle color for Wisconsin homes walks through examples and side-by-side comparisons.
Does shingle color affect energy efficiency?
A little, but in Wisconsin, it mostly balances out. Lighter shingles reflect more sunlight, which can help reduce cooling costs in hot climates. But here, our cold winters and warm summers mean any seasonal gains tend to cancel each other out. For most homes, ventilation and insulation matter far more than shingle color when it comes to efficiency.
How long does a roof last in Wisconsin?
It depends on the material, installation quality, and weather exposure, but most asphalt shingle roofs in Wisconsin last between fifteen and thirty years. Harsh sun, poor ventilation, ice dams, and repeated hail can shorten a roof’s life, while proper attic ventilation and timely repairs help it last longer. In our roof lifespan guide we show how different roofing materials compare over time and what you can do to extend the life of your roof.
What happens to my old shingles when you replace my roof?
When we replace your roof, your old asphalt shingles do not go to a landfill. We use shingle recycling programs in Wisconsin that grind old shingles and reuse them in roads and other infrastructure. That means your roof gets a second life instead of sitting in a dump. If sustainability is important to you, ask us about shingle recycling options for your project.
