Roofing Contractors Franklin, Wisconsin

In Franklin, minor repairs often don’t require a permit. However, full roof replacements or structural modifications — like changing roof pitch or altering roof framing — typically require approval from the City’s Building Inspection Division. First Choice Roofing® will confirm permit requirements and handle submissions so your roof job stays compliant and worry-free.

Roof costs vary by size, complexity, and choice of material. In southeastern Wisconsin, asphalt shingle installations generally fall between $4.00–$8.50 per square foot installed. For average single-family homes, full replacements often range from $8,000 to $20,000+. Premium materials like metal or architectural shingles cost more. We offer free, on-site inspections and custom, itemized quotes so you know your options.

Because Franklin experiences freezing winters, snow, ice, and summer storms, roof lifespan is impacted. Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years, with proper ventilation and maintenance. Metal roofing systems may endure 40–70 years. Regular inspections and minor repairs help extend a roof’s life.

For balance of cost, performance, and aesthetics, architectural asphalt shingles are a top choice in Franklin. For enhanced durability, standing-seam metal handles snow shedding and hail better. For flat roofs or commercial sections, TPO/EPDM membranes are strong performers in harsh climates.

In many cases, yes. Most insurance policies in Wisconsin cover damage from storms, hail, wind, or falling debris. Coverage levels depend on your specific policy and deductible. Our team helps document damage, take photos, and work with adjusters — making it easier for Franklin homeowners to file a roof damage claim.

For urgent leaks or storm damage, we offer same-day or next-day emergency repair service (when weather allows). We temporarily tarp and stabilize the area, then return for permanent restoration. Swift response is crucial in Franklin’s freeze-thaw conditions.

Repair addresses specific issues (leaks, flashing problems, missing shingles) to extend your roof’s life. Replacement involves removing the entire roof, upgrading underlayment, ventilation, and installing a new system. We evaluate your roof’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your Franklin property.

Look for a contractor who is licensed, insured, and certified by major manufacturers. Ask for local references, reviews, and a written quote. Confirm warranty coverage on materials and labor. First Choice Roofing® meets all these standards and is trusted by Franklin homeowners for transparent, high-quality service.

The optimal window for roof installation is from **April through October**, when weather allows proper shingle adhesion. That said, some projects can still proceed in cooler months with cold-weather installation techniques and materials. Planning ahead helps you avoid spring and fall rushes in Franklin.

Regular maintenance is key. Schedule a professional inspection annually, clean gutters and downspouts, remove overhanging branches, and promptly replace damaged shingles.
