If you're a homeowner in Wisconsin wondering, "How much will a new roof cost me?"—you're not alone. Replacing a roof is a major investment, and it's one of the most important ones you'll make for your home. Whether you're dealing with storm damage, an aging roof, or simply planning ahead, understanding the costs involved is the first step to making a smart decision.

In this blog, we’ll break down what influences roof replacement costs in Wisconsin and what you can expect to pay today.

💲 Average Roof Replacement Cost in Wisconsin

For a typical single-family home in Wisconsin, a full roof replacement in 2025 costs between $8,500 and $18,000, depending on several key factors.

Here’s a quick estimate breakdown:

Roof Size (sq. ft.)	Asphalt Shingles	Metal Roofing
1,500–2,000	$8,500–$12,000	$15,000–$22,000
2,000–2,500	$10,000–$14,000	$18,000–$25,000
2,500+	$12,000+	$20,000+

Note: These are rough estimates. The final price can vary based on roof complexity, materials, and labor rates.

📌 What Factors Affect the Cost of a New Roof?

Several factors determine the total cost of your roof replacement:

1. Roof Size & Pitch

The larger and steeper your roof, the more materials and labor are required. A steep or complex roof may also require special equipment or safety measures. Noffke Roofing has the equipment to handle any size and pitch roof, whether it's flat or steep slope.

2. Roofing Material

Material choice plays a major role in price: However, we're here to discuss what the best option is for your project and budget.

Asphalt Shingles – Most common and affordable
Metal Roofing – More durable, but can be more expensive
Cedar Shake, Slate, or Tile – Premium options and pricing

3. Tear-Off vs. Overlay

Removing the old roofing layer (tear-off) costs more than installing over an existing roof, but it's often the better long-term option.

4. Labor & Installation

Labor rates vary by region. At Noffke Roofing, we use all of our own experienced, licensed installers who get the job done right. We may not be the cheapest roofer you get a quote from, but there's a reason we've been in business for over 70 years. We know roofing!

5. Underlayment, Ventilation, & Flashing

Your new roof isn’t just shingles. A quality installation includes:

Ice & water shield
Proper ventilation (especially for Wisconsin winters!)
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys

These components add to the cost but are critical for performance and longevity.

6. Disposal & Clean-Up

Tearing off your old roof means hauling it away. Dumpster rental, debris removal, and site cleanup are often included in your estimate.

📉 Can a New Roof Save You Money?

Yes! Here’s how:

Energy Efficiency: A properly installed and ventilated roof can lower heating and cooling costs.
Insurance Discounts: Some insurers offer lower premiums for impact-resistant or fire-rated roofing.
Home Value Boost: A new roof can significantly increase your home's resale value and curb appeal.
