When Is Rolled Roofing Right for a Hudson Shed or Garage?
Rolled roofing is right for a Hudson shed, detached garage or other outbuilding when the roof is low-slope, the old covering has worn out, and keeping the cost down matters more than a long-lived system. It goes on as a single asphalt sheet unrolled across the roof, at $2.00 to $5.50 per square foot installed as a national range.
For a roof over living space, such as a porch or an addition, we also price systems laid in more than one layer. A modified bitumen roof is built from asphalt-based sheets in plies, and a built-up roof layers asphalt and felt under gravel.
Rolled roofing is one of the options we go through as part of flat roof replacement, so you can compare it with those systems on price and use before you decide.

Rolled Roofing or Modified Bitumen for Your Hudson Roof?

What Rules Apply to Rolled Roofing in Hudson?
The rules for rolled roofing in Hudson depend on the building it covers. On a home or attached garage, Wisconsin's dwelling code requires a new roof to go on to the manufacturer's instructions or a recognized national standard, and forbids a new roof over one that already has two or more layers or is water-soaked or deteriorated.
In the City of Hudson, new or replacement roofing needs no building permit when there are no structural changes or repairs, while structural work does. For a shed or detached outbuilding, and for buildings outside the city, we confirm the permit rules with your local building inspector before work starts.
Who Can Install Rolled Roofing on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can install Rolled Roofing on a Hudson Home, because that is the credential the state requires of anyone who pulls a building permit for work on a one- or two-family home, and Wisconsin has no roofing-specific license. Hudson Roofing Pros does this work, and when you book with us or anyone else, ask for proof of the credential and of insurance.
You can check a contractor's credential on the state's credential lookup. For a larger farm or pole building, our barn and pole building roofs service covers metal roofing.
