What Roof Repairs Do Hudson Homes Need?
Hudson homes most often need roof repair for leaks, shingles lifted or torn off by wind, hail damage, and flashing that has pulled away from a chimney, wall or vent pipe. Each of those opens a path for water, and water that gets past the shingles soaks the wood deck, the insulation and finally the ceiling.
Our weather is the reason these repairs come up so often. Hudson gets snow and ice through the winter, and an ice dam at the eaves can push meltwater back under shingles that shed rain without trouble all summer. Then the severe-weather season brings hail and damaging wind, which in Wisconsin is most frequent from May through July.
We build every repair for that weather. Garrett Olson, who has owned Hudson Roofing Pros since 2016, oversees every project, and the same team that inspects your roof does the repair and the cleanup.
Hail season
May to July
Hail falls most often in Wisconsin between May and July, so look over your roof after a summer storm.
Signs Your Hudson Roof Needs Repair
Your Hudson roof needs repair when you see a water stain on a ceiling, shingles missing or lying in the yard, dark bruises or cracks after hail, or metal flashing that has lifted at a chimney, wall or vent. Any one of them is worth a look before the next heavy rain or thaw.
Stains on a Ceiling or Wall
A brown ring on the ceiling or a damp patch high on a wall means water is already getting through the roof.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Wind can lift shingles, break their seal and tear them off, leaving the underlayment or bare wood exposed.
Hail Bruises and Cracks
Hail knocks the granules off shingles and can crack or split them, which shortens their life even when nothing leaks yet.
Loose or Rusted Flashing
Flashing that has pulled away from a chimney, wall or vent pipe lets water run straight behind the shingles.
Ice Building Up at the Eaves
A thick ridge of ice along the roof edge in winter can back meltwater up under the shingles and into the house.
Granules in the Gutters
Piles of shingle granules in gutters or at the downspouts point to worn or hail-damaged shingles.

The Roof Repairs Hudson Roofing Pros Handles
Hudson Roofing Pros handles every common roof repair on Hudson homes: leaks, emergencies, hail and storm damage, insurance claims, and flashing at walls, vents and chimneys. Most repairs start with a leak, and our roof leak repair work traces the water back to where it gets in rather than patching the stain.
When a storm or fallen limb has opened the roof and water is coming in, call us for emergency roof repair; we are open 24 hours, 7 days. Once the roof is covered, we come back for the permanent fix.
Summer storms bring two kinds of damage that often arrive together. Hail damage roof repair deals with bruised, cracked and punctured shingles and dented metal, while storm damage roof repair fixes shingles torn off by wind and holes from falling trees. When that damage goes to your insurer, our roof insurance claim help works within Wisconsin law: with your consent, we discuss the damage with your adjuster and submit our estimate.
Flashing is the other common failure. Roof flashing repair reseals or replaces the metal where the roof meets a wall, skylight or vent pipe and in the valleys, and chimney flashing repair seals the joint between the brick and the roof, a common place for leaks to start.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Hudson Roof?
Repair your Hudson roof when the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is sound; replace it when leaks keep appearing in different places, the shingles are worn across the whole roof, or the wood deck underneath is soaked. We tell you which one your roof needs after we have been up on it.
Repair makes sense when
- The damage is on one slope or around one chimney, wall or vent
- A few shingles blew off and the rest still lie flat and sealed
- The deck under the damaged spot is dry and solid
- The roof has years of life left in it
Replacement makes sense when
- Leaks keep showing up in new places
- Shingles are curling, cracking or bare of granules across the roof
- Hail has bruised every slope
- The deck is soft or water-soaked in more than one area
Wisconsin has no rule that forces a full replacement once a set share of the roof is damaged, so the choice comes down to the roof's condition. If it does need replacing, our roof replacement crew can lay one new layer over a single existing layer only when that layer is dry and sound; a roof that already has two layers, or a soaked one, has to be torn off first.
Not sure whether your Hudson roof needs a repair or a new roof?
We'll look at the whole roof and tell you which one it needs, with no pressure either way.
What Does Roof Repair Cost in Hudson?
A typical roof repair costs $400 to $1,900 on a national range, not a quote, because no cost guide publishes a figure for Hudson itself. Hail damage runs higher, at $700 to $4,000, since it usually touches more of the roof.
The price of your repair depends on what we find under the shingles. A leak caught early often needs only new flashing or a few shingles, but one left for a season can rot the deck, and a Wisconsin range for water-damage repairs inside the house runs $2,000 to $10,000 or more.

Who Can Repair a Roof in Hudson, WI?
Wisconsin has no roofing-specific license, but a contractor who pulls a building permit for work on a one- or two-family home must hold the state's Dwelling Contractor certification and hold or employ a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier. Hudson Roofing Pros does this work, and when you book any roofer, ask for proof of that credential and of their insurance. You can check a credential on the state's credential lookup.
Whether your repair needs a permit depends on where you live. In the city of Hudson, new or replacement roofing needs no building permit as long as there are no structural changes or repairs, while structural work such as rafter repair does. In the surrounding villages and towns, we confirm the permit rules with your local building inspector before work starts.

Roof Repair FAQs
What Is the 25% Rule for Roofing?
The 25% rule is a Florida building code rule, and Wisconsin has no such rule. In Florida, repairing more than a quarter of a roof within a year can require bringing the whole roof up to code; in Wisconsin, the decision to repair or replace comes down to the roof's condition.
Should a 20-Year-Old Roof Be Replaced?
A 20-year-old roof should be inspected, not replaced automatically. Industry guidelines put basic three-tab asphalt shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at about 30, but weather, ventilation and upkeep change that; how long a roof lasts in western Wisconsin depends most on those three.
Do You Need a Permit to Repair a Roof in Hudson?
You do not need a building permit to repair or replace roofing in the city of Hudson unless the work includes structural changes or repairs. Rules differ in the villages and towns around Hudson, so we confirm them with the local building inspector before we start.
Does Insurance Pay for Roof Repair in Wisconsin?
Insurance pays for roof repair in Wisconsin when the damage comes from a covered loss such as wind or hail, minus your deductible. A roof that is simply worn out is the owner's cost to replace, and with your consent our roof insurance claim help means we discuss the damage with your adjuster and submit our estimate.
