Is Your Roof Actually Fine or Are You One Storm Away From a Problem?
Our free roof inspection is exactly that: free. No charge, no obligation, no pressure to buy anything. We climb up, inspect every inch, and tell you exactly what we find. If your roof is in good shape, we will tell you that too. And if we find hail or storm damage, we document everything so your insurance claim is fully supported.
Most roofing problems in Stoughton, WI do not announce themselves. A slow leak, cracked flashing, or granule loss can sit unnoticed for months before water finds its way into your attic or walls. By then a $400 repair has turned into a $4,000 damage situation.
A free inspection from Badger Roofing of Wisconsin gives you a clear picture of your roof's condition. No guesswork, no scare tactics, no inflated repair lists. We are a locally owned Stoughton roofing company, not a national chain chasing storm season. Our interest is a long-term relationship with our neighbors in Cottage Grove, McFarland, and across Dane County, not a one-time sale.
Whether you want peace of mind, you just bought a home, you are getting ready to sell, or your roof is getting older and you want to know where you stand, this inspection costs you nothing and gives you everything you need to make an informed decision. If we find damage, we walk you through your options including insurance claim help at no additional charge.
No charge. No obligation. Serving Stoughton, Cottage Grove, McFarland, Oregon, Edgerton, and all of Dane County.
Why Get a Free Inspection
Five Situations Where a Free Inspection Makes Complete Sense
You do not need a leaking ceiling to justify getting on the roof. These are the most common reasons homeowners across Dane County call us for a free inspection.
If your roof is 10 to 20 years old and you have never had it professionally inspected, you are making decisions blind. A lot can change on a Wisconsin roof in a decade. Shingle granules wear, flashing corrodes, and ventilation gaps develop quietly. One thorough inspection tells you exactly where you stand and what to budget for. No surprises down the road.
Most common reason we hear from Stoughton, WI homeownersHail and wind damage is not always visible from the ground. Bruised shingles, lifted edges, and cracked pipe boots do not show up as obvious missing shingles but they cause just as much long-term damage. If a storm came through McFarland or anywhere in Dane County, a free inspection tells you within 48 hours whether you have a claim worth filing or nothing to worry about.
Storm season is our busiest time in McFarland and Cottage GroveHome inspectors cover a lot of ground but rarely go deep on roofing. Before you close on a home in Oregon or anywhere in the area, an independent roofing inspection protects you. If you are selling, knowing your roof's condition before listing means no last-minute surprises that tank your deal. A clean inspection report is a selling point. A deferred problem is a negotiation liability.
Oregon, WI and the surrounding market see high real estate activity year-roundAsphalt shingles typically last 20 to 30 years in Wisconsin but that range depends on installation quality, ventilation, and storm history. If your roof is 15-plus years old, an inspection tells you whether you have 5 more years or 12 so you can plan the budget instead of getting hit with an emergency replacement. Homeowners in Edgerton and across Rock County call us for exactly this reason.
Older housing stock in Edgerton and Rock County drives high inspection demandBuying a house does not come with a roofing report. The previous owner may have patched things, missed damage, or let maintenance slide for years. A free inspection in the first few months of ownership gives you a clean baseline. You know exactly what you have, what needs attention now, and what can wait. It is the one thing most new homeowners across Dane County wish they had scheduled sooner.

A typical residential roof inspection takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the roof. This includes time on the roof, photo documentation, and reviewing findings with you on-site.
We do not rush the process. A thorough inspection requires looking at every section of the roof, every flashing detail, and every drainage point. Not a quick walk around the perimeter from the ground.
Our free inspections cover 20 checkpoints including shingle condition, granule loss, cracked or missing shingles, and hail bruising. We also inspect all flashing and seals including chimney, pipe boots, valleys, and drip edge, along with gutters, soffit, fascia, attic ventilation indicators, and structural integrity.
Every inspection includes photo documentation of all problem areas and a written condition summary. We review everything with you before we leave so you have a clear picture of exactly what we found.
We prefer that you or another adult homeowner is present so we can walk through the findings with you directly and answer questions in real time. That conversation is often the most valuable part of the whole process.
If you cannot be home, we can still perform the inspection and share the photo report and written summary with you after. For homeowners in Cottage Grove, Oregon, McFarland, and across Dane County, we can usually schedule around your availability within a few days.
No. Most of the homeowners who call us for a free inspection do not have an obvious problem.

You do not need a leaking ceiling to justify a free inspection. The point is to find problems before they become expensive, not after.
Yes. If we find storm damage during the inspection that may qualify for an insurance claim, such as hail bruising, wind-lifted shingles, or damaged flashing, we flag it in our report and explain your options. We work with homeowners across Dane County and Rock County on insurance claims, including documenting damage, meeting with adjusters, and managing the claim process.
The free inspection is often the first step in identifying whether a claim is worth filing. There is no obligation to use us for the repair even if we help you identify and document the claim.
