27 Roofing Companies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We don’t yet have enough itemized residential roofing permits in Milwaukee to publish a reliable local cost range. Across Wisconsin, the median filed residential roofing-permit amount is $18,400 - a real filed figure rather than a national estimate. As more Milwaukee permits come on record, we’ll show the local range here.

Of the 12 companies we track in Milwaukee, 5 have an active contractor license located in public records, 8 are registered business entities, and 7 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. Wisconsin issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Milwaukee have been in business a median of 14 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is Community Roofing & Restoration, in business since 1993 (33 years); 2 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Milwaukee County has recorded 116 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.75" and wind gusts to 82 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 12 of the roofers we track are based in Milwaukee itself, alongside 15 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

5 of the 12 roofers we track in Milwaukee hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is CertainTeed, held by 3 companies - versus 46% certified across Wisconsin. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 12 companies we track in Milwaukee, the average rating is 4.7★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 10 appear on more than one platform and 11 have owners who actively respond to reviews. Look for steady, recent, multi-source ratings over a handful of old five-star reviews on one site - any single platform can be cherry-picked.

Roofing is a high-fall-risk trade, so safety history matters. Of the 12 companies we track in Milwaukee, 4 have at least one federal OSHA violation on record in the past 10 years, and 8 have none. We show any recorded violation - citation, severity, and penalty - on each profile. A clean record isn’t a guarantee, but repeated serious violations are a real red flag.
