When Is PVC Roofing Right for Your Hudson Building?
PVC roofing is right for a Hudson home or business when a flat or low-slope roof has worn out, keeps leaking, and a single-ply membrane suits the roof's size, use and your budget. On homes that means porches, garages and additions, and on businesses the low-slope roofs of shops, offices and similar buildings.
A Hudson flat roof has to stand up to roughly 45 to 50 inches of snow a year in western Wisconsin and the meltwater that sits on it, along with summer hail that peaks in June. The membrane matters, but so do the seams, edges and flashing, because that is where most water finds its way in.
PVC is one of several membranes we install as part of flat roof replacement, and we talk through the others with you before you decide.
Old roof still sound?
A coating may do for now
If the old flat roof is dry and intact, sealing it can put off a new roof for a while.
How Does PVC Compare With the Other Flat Roofs We Install?
PVC compares with the other single-ply flat roofs we install mainly on price and on how each suits a particular roof. These are the three membranes Hudson owners usually choose between.
PVC
A single-ply membrane, at $5 to $16 per sq ft installed nationally.
TPO
TPO roofing is a single-ply membrane typically lasting 7 to 20 years, at $4 to $14 per sq ft nationally.
EPDM Rubber
EPDM rubber roofing is a synthetic rubber sheet typically lasting 15 to 25 years, at $4.25 to $15 per sq ft nationally.
If the existing roof is still sound, roof coatings seal its surface for less than a new membrane costs.

How We Install a PVC Roof in Hudson
We install a PVC roof in Hudson by inspecting the old roof, pricing the work in writing, tearing off and repairing the deck, then laying and flashing the PVC membrane to the manufacturer's instructions. Garrett Olson oversees every project, and the same crew stays on it from start to cleanup.

The PVC membrane is laid, its seams joined and every wall, edge, vent and drain flashed to the maker's instructions.

Clean Up
We clear the debris and sweep the site for nails before we leave.
What Does PVC Roofing Cost in Hudson?
PVC roofing costs $5 to $16 per square foot installed as a national range, not a quote. No published figure exists for Hudson itself. Wisconsin figures are published only for large low-slope commercial roofs, where PVC runs higher with new insulation under it and lower as a recover over the existing roof.
Your price depends on the roof's size, how much comes off, the state of the deck and insulation, and the walls, edges and openings to flash.

National and Wisconsin ranges, not quotes. We price your roof in writing after seeing it.
Want a written price for a new PVC roof?
We measure the roof, check what is under it and put the price on paper.
What Rules Apply to a PVC Roof in Hudson?
The rules for a PVC roof in Hudson depend on whether the building is a home or a business. On a one- or two-family home, Wisconsin's dwelling code requires the 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 on a home needs no building permit when there are no structural changes or repairs, while structural work does. Commercial buildings are not covered by the state's one- and two-family dwelling code, so for a business roof, and for homes outside the city, we confirm the permit rules with the local building inspector before work starts.
Who Can Install a PVC Roof on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can install a PVC Roof 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. Business owners can find what we do on shops and offices under commercial roofing.
PVC Roofing FAQs
How Much Does PVC Roofing Cost?
PVC roofing costs $5 to $16 per square foot installed, as a national range, not a quote. Tear-off, deck repairs and new insulation add to that.
Is PVC or TPO Better for a Hudson Flat Roof?
Neither PVC nor TPO is right for every Hudson flat roof, and the two sit in a similar national price range, with PVC starting slightly higher. We recommend one after seeing the roof and how it is used.
Can PVC Go Over My Old Flat Roof?
A PVC roof can go over one existing layer on a home only if the old roof is dry and sound. If the roof already has two layers or is soaked or deteriorated, it has to be torn off first.
Do You Install PVC Roofs on Businesses?
Yes, Hudson Roofing Pros installs PVC on business roofs as well as homes, and confirms the permit rules for your building with the local building inspector before work starts.
Do I Need a Permit for a PVC Roof in Hudson?
No permit is needed for a PVC roof on a City of Hudson home when there are no structural changes or repairs. For businesses and for homes outside the city, we confirm the rules with the local building inspector.
