When Does a Hudson Commercial Roof Need Replacing?
A Hudson commercial roof needs replacing when the membrane is worn, cracked or split across the roof, leaks keep turning up in new places after repairs, or the insulation and deck underneath are soaked. Patching a roof in that state only moves the next leak.
Age is a guide. Typical lifespans run about 15 to 25 years for EPDM, 7 to 20 years for TPO, about 20 years for modified bitumen and about 30 years for a built-up roof, and the weather, the quality of the material and maintenance decide where a roof lands. Western Wisconsin's roughly 45 to 50 inches of snow a year, and the meltwater that sits on a flat roof, wear on every seam and flashing.
If the trouble is in one area and the rest of the roof is sound, commercial roof repair may get you more years from it. We tell you which one your building needs after we have been up on the roof.
Wet insulation?
Patches will not hold
When the insulation under a flat roof is soaked, a new roof is the fix that lasts.
Which Commercial Roof Systems Can Go on Your Hudson Building?
The commercial roof systems we install on Hudson buildings are single-ply membranes and asphalt-based flat roofs, and the right one depends on the building, its use and the budget.
EPDM Rubber
A synthetic rubber membrane, typically lasting 15 to 25 years.
TPO
A single-ply membrane, typically lasting 7 to 20 years.
PVC
A single-ply membrane, priced at the higher end of the three.
Modified Bitumen
Asphalt-based sheets laid in two or three plies, typically lasting about 20 years.
Built-Up Roofing
Layers of asphalt and felt under gravel, typically lasting about 30 years.
Recover Over the Existing Roof
Where the old roof allows it, a new membrane can go over it without added insulation, at a lower price.
Our commercial roofing service covers coatings and maintenance for roofs that are not yet ready to replace.

How We Replace a Commercial Roof in Hudson
We replace a Hudson commercial roof by inspecting it, pricing it in writing, confirming the permit and design rules, tearing off what has to come off, repairing the deck, and installing and flashing the new system to the manufacturer's instructions. The same crew works the job from first inspection to final cleanup.
- 1
Inspect the Roof
We check the membrane, seams, flashing, curbs and drains, and look for wet insulation and soft decking.
- 2
Price It in Writing
You get a written estimate naming the system, the insulation, the work and the price.
- 3
Confirm the Rules
We confirm permits with the local building inspector, and downtown, whether the roof needs design review.
- 4
Tear Off and Repair the Deck
Old roofing and wet insulation come off, and damaged decking is replaced.
- 5
Install and Flash the New System
The new roof goes on and is flashed at walls, edges, curbs, vents and drains to the maker's instructions.
- 6
Clean Up
We clear the debris and sweep the site for nails before we leave.
What Does Commercial Roof Replacement Cost in Hudson?
Commercial roof replacement costs about $5.50 to $20 per square foot as a Wisconsin range, not a quote, figured on a typical 25,000 sq ft roof. No published figure exists for Hudson itself. A new membrane with new insulation sits at the upper end, while a recover over the existing roof with no added insulation costs far less.
Commercial roof replacement in Wisconsin
Wisconsin ranges, not quotes. Two-ply modified bitumen with new insulation is $18.95 (APP) or $19.50 (SBS) per sq ft.
Want a written price for replacing your building's roof?
We measure the roof, check what is under it and put the price on paper.
What Rules Apply to a Commercial Roof Replacement in Hudson?
Commercial roof replacements in Hudson are not covered by Wisconsin's one- and two-family dwelling code, so the dwelling rules and the dwelling contractor credential for homes do not apply to your building. We confirm what permits and inspections the replacement needs with the local building inspector before work starts.
Downtown buildings also go through design review. In Hudson's Downtown Overlay District, reroofing with identical colors and materials that were approved before is a minor alteration that city staff can approve, while a change of color or material goes to the Plan Commission, with samples of the finish materials in the application.
Who Replaces Your Hudson Commercial Roof?
Hudson Roofing Pros' own crew replaces your Hudson commercial roof, the same team from first inspection to final cleanup rather than a revolving door of salespeople and subcontractors. Garrett Olson, owner since 2016, oversees every project, Mike Peterson leads the crew, and Erin Olson handles scheduling, estimates and invoices.
We are local and family-owned, and we build roofs for Wisconsin's snow, ice, wind and seasonal weather. Whoever you hire to replace a commercial roof, ask for proof of insurance before work starts.
