What Are Ellsworth Homes and Roofs Like?
Ellsworth homes are those of a farm-country county seat, with the village's houses around a downtown that sits on top of a steep hill and farmhouses, barns, sheds and outbuildings across the countryside around it.
The village's economy has long been anchored by the farmer-owned Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery, founded in 1910, and the farm buildings around the village are as much a part of the local roofs as the houses. A barn or machine shed roof faces the same hail and wind as the house next to it.
Houses on the hilltop take the wind more than homes down in a valley, so on Ellsworth roofs we look closely at shingle edges, ridge caps and the flashing around chimneys and vents, where wind-driven rain gets in first.
Hilltop homes and farm buildings
Check edges, ridges and flashing
Ellsworth's hilltop houses and open farm buildings take the wind, so their roof edges and flashing need a closer look after a storm.
Is Ellsworth a Village or a Town for Roof Permits?
Ellsworth is both: the Village of Ellsworth and the Town of Ellsworth are separate municipalities with different permit offices, so who handles your roof permit depends on which one your home is in.
The village contracts its building inspection to a private inspection firm, and its building permit forms are on the Village of Ellsworth website. The Town of Ellsworth, which surrounds the village, uses a different contracted inspection agency and has no website of its own.
Neither office says whether a like-for-like reroof needs a permit, so we confirm the rules with the right building inspector for your address before work starts. If a tear-off turns up rotted decking or framing that needs structural repair, we handle the permit for that work too.
Village or town
Two different permit offices
Check whether your Ellsworth home is in the village or the town before a reroof, because each has its own inspector.
Do Ellsworth's Downtown Design Guidelines Affect Your Roof?
Ellsworth's Downtown Design Guidelines may affect a roof on a downtown building, so if you own property in the village's downtown, ask the village whether the guidelines cover roofing before you change the material or color.
The village adopted the Downtown Design Guidelines in 2024, after a comprehensive plan update in 2022, and both are posted with its planning and zoning information. We check with the village on any downtown job before you choose a shingle or metal color.
What Should Ellsworth Homeowners Do After Hail?
Quarter-size hail fell just east of Ellsworth in April 2026, and after hail like that the first step is to have the roof checked for bruised or cracked shingles and dented metal before small damage turns into a leak.
Hail knocks the granules off asphalt shingles and can bruise or crack them, which shortens the roof's life even when nothing drips yet. On metal barn and shed roofs it dents the panels, and wind lifts shingle edges and breaks the seal strips that hold them flat. Look for granules in the gutters, dents in gutters and vents, and shingles in the yard, then call us for an inspection.
If you file an insurance claim, take photos before anything is moved. In Wisconsin, a contractor must ask whether the work is tied to an insurance claim before you sign, and you can cancel that contract until the third business day after your insurer tells you in writing that the claim was denied in whole or in part.

What Roofing Work Does Hudson Roofing Pros Do in Ellsworth?
Hudson Roofing Pros does new roofs and roof repairs in Ellsworth, with the same crew from first inspection to final cleanup and Garrett Olson overseeing every project.
When an old Ellsworth roof comes off and the boards underneath are soft or delaminated, we do roof decking replacement before the new underlayment goes down. Older farmhouses and village homes with brick chimneys often leak where the chimney meets the roof, and chimney flashing repair stops that water without a whole new roof.
Poor attic airflow can buckle shingles and help ice dams form, so we also check and fix roof ventilation, balancing intake at the eaves with exhaust near the ridge. Ellsworth is one of the towns we cover, and the same crew works across our area, from Houlton on the St. Croix bluffs to New Richmond in northern St. Croix County.

Ellsworth Roofing FAQs
Who Issues Roof Permits in Ellsworth?
It depends on whether your home is in the Village or the Town of Ellsworth, because each uses a different contracted building inspector. We confirm which one covers your address and what it requires before work starts.
Do Ellsworth's Downtown Design Guidelines Cover Roofs?
Ask the village before changing a downtown roof, because the village adopted Downtown Design Guidelines in 2024 and they may apply to the look of downtown buildings. We check with the village on any downtown job.
Does Hudson Roofing Pros Work on Farm Buildings Around Ellsworth?
Yes, along with homes we work on barn and pole building roofs around Ellsworth, where hail and wind hit sheds and outbuildings as hard as houses.
Why Does My Ellsworth Chimney Leak?
A leak beside a chimney usually starts at the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and Wisconsin requires chimneys to be flashed and counter-flashed there. We reseal or replace that flashing to stop the water.
