Why Choose an Aluminum Roof for Your Hudson Home?
Choose an aluminum roof for your Hudson home if you want a metal roof with no iron in it to rust and are willing to pay more than you would for steel.
Aluminum comes in the same styles as steel: ribbed panels screwed through the face like corrugated metal roofing, metal shingles, and standing seam. Metal roofs are expected to last 40 to 80 years, against about 30 years for architectural shingles.

Aluminum or Steel for Your Hudson Roof?
Aluminum costs more than steel for a Hudson roof in every panel style, and in return it has no iron in it to rust. Wisconsin figures for a 1,700 sq ft roof with tear-off put basic aluminum at $12.45 per square foot against $9.35 for basic exposed-fastener steel.
Steel
- Lower price in every style
- About $9.35 per sq ft in basic exposed-fastener panels
- Can rust once its coating wears through
Aluminum
- Higher price in every style
- About $12.45 per sq ft in basic exposed-fastener panels
- No iron in it to rust
If you like the look of shingles but want a steel roof, stone-coated steel roofing puts a stone-granule surface on steel panels.

Can an Aluminum Roof Go Over Your Hudson Shingles?
An aluminum roof can go over the shingles on a Hudson home only when there is one layer that is sound and dry. Wisconsin's dwelling code bars a new roof covering over two or more layers, over a water-soaked or deteriorated roof, and over wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile.
We count the layers and check the deck before we price a metal roof over shingles. Every aluminum roof we put on gets flashing at each chimney, valley and roof opening, which the code requires.
Most layers allowed
Two in total
A roof that already has two layers is torn off before aluminum goes on.
Who Can Put an Aluminum Roof on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can put an Aluminum 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.
Ask for proof of that credential and of insurance when you book, and check it in the state's credential lookup. In the City of Hudson, new roofing with no structural changes or repairs needs no building permit; outside the city, we confirm the rules with your local building inspector before work starts.
