You can call us at (815) 214-9390 or fill out the contact form on our website. A team member will reach out promptly to schedule a convenient time. Most quotes are provided on the same day as the inspection.

Question 7

How long does an inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your home. Our inspector walks you through the findings and provides a clear, no-pressure recommendation before leaving.

Question 8

How much does a roof replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Roof replacement costs vary based on the size and pitch of your roof, the number of stories, selected materials, and the extent of any underlying damage. In the Southern Wisconsin area, a full residential roof replacement typically ranges from $10,000 to $50,000 or more. We provide a detailed, itemized quote so there are no hidden surprises.

Question 9

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer 0% financing for 12 months, no interest and no payments, same as cash with approved credit up to $100,000. This allows you to protect your home now without breaking your budget. Ask about current plans when you request your free inspection.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept checks, major credit cards, and financing through our consumer credit program. Typically 50% of the balance is due at signing to order materials and pull permits, and the remaining 50% is collected upon project completion.

Question 11

How long does a roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs may take 2 to 3 days. We provide a clear timeline before we start and keep you informed throughout the project.

Question 12

How long does a gutter installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most seamless gutter installations are completed in a half day. We fabricate gutters on-site to ensure a perfect fit for your home.

Question 13

How long does a window replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard window installations are completed in one day. Larger whole-home window projects may take 1 to 2 days depending on the number and size of windows.

Question 14

What happens during a roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Our roof replacement process includes removing old roofing and disposing of all materials, inspecting and repairing the roof deck, installing underlayment and ice and water shield, installing your selected roofing material per manufacturer specifications, thorough cleanup of the job site, and a final inspection to ensure everything is watertight and properly installed.

Question 15

Can you help me with my insurance claim?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work directly with insurance adjusters to help you navigate the claims process for hail, wind, and storm damage. We document damage thoroughly and advocate on your behalf to help maximize your coverage.

Question 16

How do I know if my roof has storm or hail damage?

Accepted Answer

Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. Watch for granule loss in gutters or downspouts, dents or bruising on shingles, damaged or dented gutters and flashing, water stains on ceilings or in the attic, and curling or cracked shingles. After any significant storm, schedule a free inspection even if damage is not obvious from the ground.

Question 17

Do you offer emergency repair services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your home has been damaged by a storm and you have an active leak or structural issue, call us immediately at (815) 214-9390. We respond quickly to protect your home from further damage.

Question 18

Are you a licensed and insured contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform roofing, siding, window, and gutter work. We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and are EPA-certified. We comply with all local permitting requirements.

Question 19

Do I need a permit for my project?

Accepted Answer

In most Wisconsin municipalities — including Beloit, Janesville, Madison, and the Walworth County communities — a permit is required for full re-roofing projects (tear-off and replacement). Minor isolated repairs typically do not. Your contractor is responsible for pulling the permit, not the homeowner. We handle all permitting and municipal inspections as part of our service.

Question 20

What warranties do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer warranties on both materials and workmanship. Manufacturer material warranties cover up to 50 years on qualifying products, and we provide a labor and workmanship warranty on our installation. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can also offer enhanced warranty coverage not available from standard contractors.

Question 21

When should I replace my roof versus repair it?

Accepted Answer

A repair may be sufficient if damage is isolated. Consider a full replacement if your roof is 20 or more years old, you have widespread missing, curling, or cracked shingles, multiple leak points, a soft or sagging roof deck, or repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost. Our free inspection provides an honest, no-pressure recommendation.

Question 22

What is the best roofing material for the Wisconsin climate?

Accepted Answer

Southern Wisconsin experiences hard freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow load, ice damming, high winds, and summer heat. We recommend high-grade architectural asphalt shingles engineered for high-wind and heavy-snow environments, or metal roofing for maximum longevity and energy efficiency. All materials we install are rated to resist algae, impact, and temperatures from -20 to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit.

Question 23

Are your windows energy efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install ENERGY STAR certified windows with Low-E glass coatings, argon gas fills, and insulated frames. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs and improve year-round comfort.

Question 24

Can new siding improve my home's energy efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern insulated siding adds an extra layer of thermal protection to your home's exterior, reducing heat transfer and lowering energy bills. Combined with proper house wrap and sealing, new siding can noticeably improve energy performance.

Question 25

How long has Rockford Roofing been in business?

Accepted Answer

Rockford Roofing is the Wisconsin division of Rockford Siding & Windows, which has been in business since 1994 — over 30 years of exterior contracting on both sides of the state line.

Question 26

Where is Rockford Roofing located?

Accepted Answer

Our office is at 5441 Forest Hills Court, Loves Park, IL 61111 — minutes from the Wisconsin state line, which is how we keep response times short across Rock, Walworth, and Dane Counties. You can reach us by phone at (815) 214-9390 or by email at office@rockford-siding.com.

Question 27

You are based in Illinois — do you really work in Wisconsin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our shop in Loves Park sits minutes from the state line, and Wisconsin has been part of our service area for years. Rockford Roofing is our Wisconsin division, and we are licensed and insured to work in Wisconsin. For most Rock County towns we are closer than contractors coming out of Madison or Milwaukee.

Question 28

Are you licensed to do roofing in Wisconsin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you can verify it. Rockford Siding and Windows LLC holds Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor License #111700018-DC, active through June 2027 — look it up at license.wi.gov. Wisconsin requires that certification before a business can pull building permits on one- and two-family homes, and not every Illinois contractor has one. We also carry full liability and workers compensation coverage, and we handle permits and municipal inspections ourselves.

Question 29

How do you handle ice dams on Wisconsin roofs?

Accepted Answer

Ice dams come from heat escaping into the attic and melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. A roof replacement is the right time to fix it: we install ice and water shield well past the interior wall line, correct intake and ridge ventilation, and check attic insulation depth. Doing all three together is what actually stops the dam from forming again.

Question 30

What are your business hours?

Accepted Answer

We are typically open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Emergency storm damage service is available outside normal hours. Call (815) 214-9390 for immediate assistance.
