Roofing Material Costs


Asphalt Shingles: The most affordable option, averaging around $6.54 per square foot. Keep in mind that the quality of the shingles and the installer's expertise greatly affect the roof's overall performance.

Since the early 1980s, roofing material costs have increased by an average of $10 per square foot due to inflation. The most significant price surge occurred in 2008-2009, with an approximate increase of 37.2%.

Average Roof Repair Costs by Damage Type

Roof Leak Repair Costs

Minor repairs like replacing faulty nails or pipe boots can cost between $300 and $500. Major repairs involving skylights or soffit/fascia replacement can range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the extent of the damage.

Shingle Repair Costs

These depend on the shingle material and the area being repaired. Here are average prices per square foot for common roofing materials in Wisconsin (excluding installation and service fees):


Roof Material Low Price/Sq. Ft. High Price/Sq. Ft.

Asphalt Shingles $4.36 $8.72

Designed Asphalt Shingles $7.63 $15.26

Wood Roofing $13.08 $26.16


Damaged Flashing Repair Costs

The cost of roof flashing repair will depend on the material and application of the roof flashing, as well as the amount of flashing needed to be repaired or replaced. For example, the cost to repair chimney flashing may be different than the cost to repair the flashing on your roof’s pipe boot.

Storm Damage Roof Repair Costs

Repair costs from storm damage will vary based on the extent of the damage. Light damage like missing shingles from heavy winds will cost far less than severe damage caused by a fallen tree - requiring repairs to the internal structure and supports of the roof like the trusses, sheathing, and underlayment.

Other Factors Influencing Roof Replacement Cost


Roof Steepness: Steeper roofs require additional safety equipment, increasing labor time and overall price. For instance, replacing an average-sized open gable roof with steep slopes can cost $1,250-$2,500 more than a flat, easily walkable roof of similar size.

Season of the Year: Spring, fall, and early winter are typically the best times for roof replacement. Summer is the busiest season, and roofing jobs may increase in price by 5-15%.

How to Potentially Get a New Roof for Free


Apply for a Grant: Government agencies and non-profit organizations offer grants for roof replacements. Eligibility often depends on factors like income level, location, and the reason for replacement. Research and understand the requirements for specific grant opportunities in your area.

Enter a Roof Giveaway: Some roofing companies, like Infinity Exteriors in Wisconsin, hold contests where community members can win a free roof. Check for ongoing giveaways in your locality.

File an Insurance Claim: If your roof is damaged by a covered event (storm, fire, etc.), filing a claim with your homeowner's insurance is an option. Understand your policy's terms and coverage limits, and document the damage with photos and repair estimates from qualified contractors.

Roof Repair Costs in Wisconsin


The cost of a roof repair in Wisconsin varies based on the repair's size and type, the affected area, and the materials needing fixing. Average repairs can range from $200 to over $3,000. Addressing roof damage promptly is essential, as neglecting it can lead to more severe issues and increase repair costs. In some cases, prolonged neglect may result in the need for a complete roof replacement.

What Goes Into Quoting a Roof Repair?



Several factors influence the cost of a roof repair:

  • Size of Repair: Larger damaged areas typically mean higher repair costs.

  • Type of Repair: Simple repairs, such as fixing leaks, may cost only a few hundred dollars, while more extensive damage involving underlayment or decking can significantly increase the price.

  • Type of Materials: Repair costs vary depending on the roofing material; for example, asphalt repairs are usually cheaper than metal roof repairs.

Roof Structure: Roof height, shape, and pitch affect repair costs. Steeper, more complex roofs require more precision and safety measures, which can increase labor time and overall price.
