This is a free referral service and nothing more. Nobody here climbs a ladder, measures a roof, writes a bid or sets a price. We sign no contracts and play no part in any insurance claim. When you ask for help, your details go to one independent roofer who works in the Madison area. That roofer may pay us for the referral; you pay nothing, now or later.
The Path to a Written Estimate
- You reach out. Phone (608) 555-0181 or use the form.
- We pass it along once. One independent roofer receives your request. It is not posted to a bidding list.
- The roofer calls you. You pick an inspection time that suits you.
- The roof gets a proper look. Expect questions about age, leaks and past repairs, plus a check of shingles, flashing and vents.
- You read the numbers. The roofer's itemized estimate is theirs, not ours. Compare it, question it or set it aside.
Roofers You Can Verify
Wisconsin has no roofing license. Instead, whoever pulls a permit for a one- or two-family home must hold the state Dwelling Contractor credential from the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), backed by a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier who has completed approved training. An owner who lives in the home may pull their own permit. Search any credential at license.wi.gov or call DSPS at (608) 266-2112. It proves permit and insurance rules were met, not workmanship.
Before you sign, ask the roofer for these:
- An active credential. Confirm that the person pulling the permit shows as active on license.wi.gov.
- Proof of insurance. A current certificate, not a verbal promise.
- Two written warranties. One from the shingle or panel maker and one covering the labor.
- An itemized contract. It should list the work, the materials and every permit the job needs.
- Lien waivers. Wisconsin lets you request them, and the contractor must provide them when asked.
- A local address and references. Names of nearby owners you can call about their roofs.
Things This Site Never Offers
Some promises sound helpful but are not allowed, or not ours to make.
- Deductible deals. Wisconsin law (s. 100.65(2)) bars a roofer from promising to pay or rebate any part of your deductible, even in an ad. You cover your own.
- Claim negotiation. A roofer may discuss the damage and send an estimate to your insurer, but may not represent you or bargain over the claim. Public adjusters are a separate, state-regulated job.
- Roof work of any kind. No tear-offs, repairs or installs. The roofer you meet runs their own business.
- Gifts or rewards. No gift cards, credits, rebates or neighbor bonuses for using this service.
- Pressure at your door. We never knock on doors after storms or claim any city or state office endorses us.
