How Much Will a New Roof Cost on Your Hudson House?
A new roof on a Hudson house costs roughly $11,500 to $20,000 for a 1,500 sq ft roof and $15,000 to $26,500 for a 2,000 sq ft roof, as a Twin Cities range, not a quote. No figure is published for Hudson itself, so these come from Minneapolis and St. Paul, the metro Hudson belongs to.
The calculator works out your roof's area from the outside walls and the pitch, then applies installed costs per square foot, such as $5 to $7 for asphalt shingles in the Twin Cities, and adds tear-off and decking. It gives you a range for planning, and your written estimate replaces it once we have seen the roof.
Measure the outside walls at ground level, one roof section at a time. Add the garage, a porch or an addition as their own sections if their roof is separate.
Valleys, hips and dormers mean more cut shingles. Pick more waste for a cut-up roof.
Pitch is how many inches the roof rises for every 12 inches it runs. Measure it on a level held flat against a rafter or the roof, or read the angle off a phone level app laid on the roof edge.

Quantities come from the roof sections in step 1, with your waste allowance added to anything sold by area. Check the coverage printed on the products you buy, which varies by brand.
A planning range for a full replacement, from published cost guides. We price your own roof in writing after seeing it.
Soft or rotted deck only shows up once the old roof is off, so many estimates price it per sheet as found.

What Goes Into a Written Roof Estimate From Hudson Roofing Pros?
A written roof estimate from Hudson Roofing Pros sets out what we will do, what we will use, what it costs and when, so you can compare it line by line with any other estimate. Wisconsin requires a written contract with most of these items whenever payment is due before the work is finished.
The Work
Tear-off, deck repairs, ice barrier, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the new roofing, each named.
The Materials
The main products by make, model and grade, so you know exactly which shingle or metal goes on.
Decking Found at Tear-Off
How soft or rotted boards will be priced, since the deck is only fully seen once the old roof is off.
The Total Price
One total, including any finance charges, rather than a figure that grows later.
Start and Finish Dates
When the work begins and when it should be done, weather allowing.
The Warranty
Our 10-Year Workmanship Warranty, and the manufacturer's warranty on the materials.

How We Put Together Your Roof Estimate
We put together a roof estimate by inspecting the roof and attic, measuring every section, counting the layers, and pricing the materials you choose, then writing it all down. A price given over the phone cannot account for the pitch, the layers or the state of the deck, which change the price more than anything else.
- 1
Inspect the Roof and Attic
We check the shingles, flashing, vents and attic for leaks, damp and signs of ice dams.
- 2
Measure and Count Layers
Each roof section is measured, and we count the layers, since Wisconsin allows no more than two before a tear-off is required.
- 3
Check the Deck
Soft spots and attic stains tell us whether roof decking replacement is likely.
- 4
Talk Through Materials
We price the roof in the material you want, whether shingles, metal, a cedar shake roof or tile roofing.
- 5
Put It in Writing
You get the estimate on paper, with the work, materials, price, dates and warranty.
What Adds to the Price of a Hudson Roof?
The price of a Hudson roof goes up with tear-off of extra layers, rotted decking, a permit where one is needed, and a heavier or costlier material. Tear-off and decking can be small or large on the same house, which is why they appear as their own lines on the estimate.
Common extras on a roof replacement
Wisconsin and national ranges, as marked, not quotes. A square is 100 sq ft of roof.

What Should Worry You in a Roof Estimate?
A roof estimate should worry you if it was given without anyone visiting the house, if it is far lower than the others, or if it comes with a promise to cover your insurance deductible. An estimate made without seeing the roof cannot account for the layers or the deck, and Wisconsin law bars a contractor from paying or rebating any part of your deductible.
- A price given over the phone, without a visit to the roof
- An estimate far lower than every other one you have
- An offer to pay or rebate your insurance deductible, which Wisconsin law forbids
- No written contract, or pressure to sign the same day
- A contractor who says they will negotiate your insurance claim for you, which Wisconsin law also forbids
- No proof of insurance or of the state credential when a permit is needed
What Does Wisconsin Require in a Roofing Contract?
Wisconsin requires a written, signed home improvement contract whenever any payment is due before the work is finished, or when the contractor started the sale by knocking on the door, phoning or leaving flyers. It must list the seller's name and address, the work and principal materials, the total price including finance charges, start and completion dates, any security interest and the warranties, and you must get a copy before work starts or you pay anything.
If the job is tied to an insurance claim, the contractor must ask you in writing before you sign whether it is, and must tell you that you can cancel until midnight of the third business day after you get written notice from your insurer that the claim was denied in whole or in part. Get lien waivers for every payment and keep all receipts and contracts. The two-layer limit and the ice protection at the eaves apply to every Hudson roof replacement too.
Roof Estimate FAQs
What Is the Average Cost of Replacing a Roof in Wisconsin?
The average cost of replacing a roof in Wisconsin is published as $7,043 by one guide and about $17,000 by another, with ranges of $5,466 to $17,887 and $10,000 to $26,000. The two are far apart, so a written estimate for your own roof is the figure to plan on.
Is $30,000 Too Much for a Roof?
$30,000 is not too much for a large roof, a steep roof or a premium material, but it is high for an average asphalt shingle roof. A 2,500 sq ft roof runs $18,500 to $33,000 in the Twin Cities, and slate on a 2,000 sq ft roof starts around $30,000 in Wisconsin.
What Does a Roof Cost on a 1,200 Sq Ft House?
A roof on a 1,200 sq ft house falls between the Wisconsin figures of $7,359 for a 1,000 sq ft home and $8,916 for a 1,500 sq ft home, and a 1,200 sq ft roof runs $5,700 to $12,000 nationally. Roof area is usually about 1.1 to 1.2 times the floor area.
What Should I Ask a Roofer When Getting a Quote?
Ask whether they will inspect the roof and attic in person, how decking found at tear-off will be priced, which materials they will use by make and grade, what the warranty covers, and for proof of insurance and of the state credential if they pull a permit. Also walk away from any roofer who offers to pay your insurance deductible or prices the job over the phone. Our guide on how to hire a roofer in Wisconsin lists the other red flags.
How Many Roof Estimates Should I Get?
Get more than one written estimate, each from a contractor who has visited the house. Comparing them line by line shows which one leaves out tear-off, decking or flashing.
