What Are Metal Shingles?
Metal shingles are steel or aluminum formed into individual shingle shapes, which gives a Hudson home a metal roof without the long vertical panels of standing seam.
They suit a house where the look of the roof matters, from the 1800s homes near downtown Hudson to the early-2000s subdivisions. In the Downtown Overlay District, a change of exterior color or materials goes to the city's Plan Commission with samples of the finish materials, so we bring the samples you need.
Metal roofs are expected to last 40 to 80 years, against about 20 years for 3-tab asphalt shingles and 30 for architectural shingles.

Which Wisconsin Rules Apply to Metal Shingles in Hudson?
Metal shingles in Hudson can only go over an old roof that has a single sound, dry layer, and they must go on with flashing at every chimney, in every valley and around every roof opening. 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.
The code's ice dam rule is written for shingled or shake roofs over a heated part of the home or an attached garage with a slope of 4:12 or less. On those roofs it calls for sheet metal or an ice barrier membrane at least 30 inches up from the roof edge and at least 12 inches past the inside face of the exterior wall.
In the City of Hudson, new roofing with no structural changes or repairs needs no building permit. Outside the city, we confirm the permit rules with your local building inspector before work starts.
Who Can Put Metal Shingles on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can put Metal Shingles 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. The same crew works your roof from the first inspection to the final cleanup.
Metal Shingle FAQs
Do Metal Shingles Look Like Asphalt Shingles?
Yes, from the street metal shingles read as a shingle roof, because each piece is shaped like a shingle. Stone-coated steel adds a granule surface that looks closer still.
Are Metal Shingles Cheaper Than Standing Seam?
In basic steel, yes. Wisconsin figures put steel metal shingles at $11.85 per square foot against $14.40 for steel standing seam, on a 1,700 sq ft roof with tear-off.
Can Metal Shingles Go Over My Old Shingles?
Yes, if there is only one layer and it is not water-soaked or deteriorated. Two or more layers must come off first under Wisconsin's dwelling code.
Will Snow Slide Off Metal Shingles?
Snow slides off metal more readily than off asphalt. Over doors, walkways and decks, roof snow guards hold it in place.
