What others think of our metal roofing in Madison
I got new 6 inch gutters all around my home and garage, including gutter guards on the second floor. Prairie Exteriors was very affordable, communication was excellent and the job crew was very respectful.
As far as the quoting process, AJ did a great job of listening to my concerns and requirements. I was able to get 3 options to chose from.
Competition wise, I requested a quote from 2 other competitors in the Madison and outside area, their quoting process was either extremely vague, or through the roof expensive.
I look forward to working with Prairie Exteriors for future projects. Definitely consider them for your next project.
Pedro Dominguez
Replaced our roof, looks great. Worked on a Saturday and in the winter, really impressed.
Timothy Field
Prairie Exteriors does a great job. Shows up when promised, does quality work and are reasonably priced.
Update- (May 2025) – Another successful project with Prairie Exteriors! We initially had our fireplace converted from wood to gas, though the contractor for that job was Focal Point Fire out of Baraboo, WI—not Prairie Exteriors. When our 2.5-year-old fireplace required servicing, we had to turn to another vendor, as Focal Point had gone out of business. During their inspection, the vendor discovered that the furnace exhaust behind the fireplace had not been properly connected and lacked adequate insulation.
I reached out to Prairie Exteriors, and we agreed to proceed on a time-and-material basis since no one knew exactly what was behind the wall. I also took responsibility for cementing the exhaust pipe, as it fell outside their scope of work.
The professional and courteous two-person crew arrived on time, removed the siding, and insulated the chimney space. They came prepared with all necessary materials, including pre-painted siding boards, ensuring a smooth and efficient job.
***********************************************
Update (November 2024): Once again, I chose Prairie Exteriors—this time to install gutter covers at my mother-in-law’s home. Given their history of reliability, excellent service, prompt communication, and competitive pricing, I didn’t seek bids from other contractors. They arrived as scheduled, completed the job efficiently, and ensured everything was done to perfection. Most importantly, my mother-in-law was delighted with the results.
***************************************
I had the pleasure of working with Prairie Exteriors again. A decade ago, my roof was installed by another company, but recently, it began leaking during a rainstorm. I reached out to Prairie Exteriors for a repair, and to my surprise, they arrived within a few hours—far exceeding my expectations—to tarp the leak. Once the rain subsided, they completed a full repair at a reasonable price. Exceptional service from great people!
For any work within their expertise, Prairie Exteriors remains my first and only choice.

FAQs
How long does a metal roof last in Wisconsin’s climate?
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40–70 years in Wisconsin, though premium materials like copper and zinc can exceed 100 years. Thanks to their ability to handle heavy snow loads, freeze–thaw cycles, high winds, and humidity, metal roofs offer some of the most reliable long-term performance in Wisconsin’s demanding climate.
Is a metal roof noisy during rain or storms?
No. Modern metal roofing systems are installed over solid decking, underlayment, and insulation, which all work together to dampen sound. When installed by an experienced Wisconsin contractor, a metal roof is no louder than asphalt shingles, even during heavy rain or storms.
What types of metal roofing materials can I choose from?
Wisconsin homeowners can choose from several durable metal roofing options, each offering unique advantages for local weather conditions:
- Aluminum – Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for moisture-rich environments.
- Steel – The most common choice in Wisconsin thanks to its strength and excellent snow-load performance.
- Copper – A premium option with a lifespan of 70–100+ years that develops a protective patina over time.
- Zinc – Known for its self-healing properties and exceptional longevity in harsh climates.
- Galvalume – Valued for its strong corrosion resistance and durability, offering long-lasting performance with a clean, modern metallic appearance.
Each material supports different budgets, home styles, and long-term performance goals.
Will a metal roof help with energy efficiency?
Yes. Metal roofing reflects radiant heat during summer and sheds snow efficiently during winter, improving overall energy performance. Many Wisconsin homeowners see reduced cooling costs, fewer ice-dam issues, and more stable indoor temperatures compared to traditional shingles.
Many modern metal roofing systems are designed with reflective finishes that help reduce heat absorption during warmer months. Rather than holding onto heat throughout the day, metal roofs can reflect a portion of the sun’s energy away from the building.
Combined with proper insulation and ventilation, energy-efficient roofing can help improve indoor comfort and support lower energy usage over time.
How do I know which metal roof is right for my home?
Your roofing contractor should evaluate your home’s architecture, roof pitch, budget, and Wisconsin’s climate demands to recommend the best system. Whether you choose standing seam panels for maximum weather protection or metal shingles for a more traditional appearance, the ideal roof is one tailored to your property’s needs and the state’s seasonal extremes.
