If your McFarland home has storm, hail, or wind damage, do not call your insurance company first. Call us. We come out, document every damage point at no charge, file the claim on your behalf, and stand next to you at the adjuster meeting. Dane County sees significant hail and wind activity every season, and most McFarland homeowners with storm damage pay nothing beyond their deductible when they work with us from the start.
Badger Roofing of Wisconsin is a locally owned roofing company based in Stoughton, about 10 miles south of McFarland on US-51. Owner Colin Altenburg built this company on one standard: we do not hand your job off to someone else. Our own crew handles every project from inspection through final cleanup, with no subcontractors and no day laborers. The person who writes your estimate is the person responsible for your roof when the work is done.
We are licensed and insured in Wisconsin and carry a 10-year workmanship warranty on every installation. Whether you need a full roof replacement, a targeted roof repair, hail damage restoration, or help navigating an insurance claim, we handle it all in-house. We also install gutters and siding and offer free roof inspections with no obligation and no sales pressure.
McFarland's mix of older lakeside homes along Lake Waubesa and 1990s and 2000s subdivisions means a large share of roofs in the village are now entering or past the 20 to 30 year replacement window. Madison's proximity has kept home values strong here, which makes protecting that investment with the right roofing contractor even more important. If you have been putting off a call to a roofer, now is the right time. Emergency service is available when you need it fast.
Serving McFarland, WI and all of Dane County. Free inspections, no obligation. About 10 minutes from our Stoughton shop via US-51.
McFarland is a village of approximately 8,500 to 9,000 people in Dane County, situated along US-51 on the eastern shore of Lake Waubesa, about 8 miles southeast of Madison. Its location between Stoughton and Madison has made it one of Dane County's most established bedroom communities, drawing residents who want proximity to the capital city without living inside it. Home values here reflect that demand. The lakeside setting, low turnover, and steady influx of Madison commuters have kept the McFarland real estate market consistently strong.
That same desirable location means a housing stock that presents real roofing complexity. The older lakeside homes along the Lake Waubesa shoreline carry roofs that have weathered decades of lake-effect wind, ice, and freeze-thaw cycling that accelerates shingle wear well ahead of standard timelines. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions that make up much of the village's interior are now squarely in the 20 to 30 year range, the window where granule loss, failing sealant strips, and hidden hail damage become serious financial exposure for homeowners who have not had a professional inspection. Both segments of the market represent immediate, documented roofing need that no competitor is currently addressing with local depth in McFarland.
Dane County sees significant hail and wind activity every season and McFarland is not insulated from it. Most homeowners in this village have never had a post-storm inspection from a contractor who actually documents damage and handles the claim. A free roof inspection from Badger Roofing takes less than an hour and gives you a full written photo report at no cost and no obligation. We drive up from Stoughton, inspect everything, and tell you exactly what is there.
Dane County hail does not announce itself and neither does the damage it leaves behind. We offer free roof inspections across McFarland and all of Dane County with same-week scheduling and a full written photo report delivered at the end. No sales pitch, no pressure, no invoice. If your roof is fine, we tell you that and leave.
Call (608) 575-3416 or submit the form and we put you on the schedule, typically within the same week. We are based in Stoughton, about 10 minutes south of McFarland on US-51. No hold music, no call centers, no commissioned rep trying to upsell you before we have even seen your roof.
Same-Week SchedulingWe cover every shingle field, every flashing joint, every valley, vent, ridge, and gutter line. We look specifically for hail impact damage, wind-lifted seals, granule loss, and any decking or underlayment issues hiding below the surface. Older lakeside homes along Lake Waubesa and 1990s and 2000s subdivisions alike are carrying damage that is completely invisible from the ground.
Fully DocumentedYou receive a written photo report of every finding, not a verbal summary at the bottom of the ladder. If we find something that needs a repair or a full replacement, we show you exactly what and where. If your roof has years of life left, we document that and walk away. No obligation to sign anything.
100% TransparentIf we find hail or storm damage on your McFarland roof, we take it from there. We file the claim, attend the adjuster meeting in person, manage the full insurance process, and make sure the scope reflects actual damage, not the minimum your carrier wants to pay. Most McFarland homeowners with legitimate storm damage pay only their deductible.
We Handle It
Colin Altenburg started Badger Roofing of Wisconsin in Stoughton with one rule that has never changed: nobody goes to your home representing this company unless they are on our payroll.

Early documentation means a covered replacement, not an out-of-pocket emergency.

Call (608) 575-3416Dane County ranks among Wisconsin's most hail-active counties and wind events roll through the Lake Waubesa corridor every spring and fall. Most of that damage is invisible from the ground, sits undocumented on your roof for months or years, and quietly shortens the life of a system that your insurance policy was written to replace. We inspect, document, and manage the entire claim so you do not have to navigate it alone.
Quarter-size and larger hail bruises the asphalt mat inside the shingle without leaving a visible crack. High winds lift seal strips between shingle courses, blow off ridge caps, and bring tree branches down onto roof decking across McFarland's mature tree canopy neighborhoods. From your driveway everything looks fine. On the roof, the damage is real, documentable, and covered under most Wisconsin homeowners policies. Hail damage and wind damage left undocumented become wear and tear that your carrier will use to deny coverage later.
We get on your roof, photograph every impact point, measure hail strike density across every slope, and produce a written damage report before your insurance carrier sends an adjuster. When we attend that adjuster meeting alongside you, we have documentation they cannot dispute. The scope reflects what actually happened to your McFarland roof, not the minimum your carrier wants to pay.
When the damage is real and the documentation is complete, insurance carriers pay. We have handled hundreds of storm damage claims across Dane County and the outcome for homeowners who call us before calling their carrier is almost always a fully covered replacement. The deductible is what you pay. We handle the rest.
You may have significant hail damage on your roof right now and not know it. Bruised shingle mats, cracked seals, and dented flashing are invisible from the ground but fully visible to us from up close. A free inspection tells you exactly what is there. If there is damage, we handle the entire claim from documentation through installation. Most McFarland homeowners with hail damage pay only their deductible.
Schedule Free Hail InspectionWind events lift shingle seals, blow off ridge caps, and in serious cases bring trees and branches directly onto your roof structure. McFarland's mature tree canopy makes wind damage a real and recurring risk for lakeside and subdivision homes alike. Wind damage is a covered peril under most Wisconsin homeowners policies and we respond within 24 hours with emergency tarping. Do not wait for the next rain to find out how bad it is. Call us today.

Licensed and insured in Wisconsin. No subcontractors. About 10 minutes from our Stoughton shop via US-51.
We have completed 500+ roofs across Dane County and the surrounding area. Here is what a few of those homeowners have to say about working with Badger Roofing of Wisconsin.
"We had two storm chasers come to our door after the last big wind event. We ignored both of them and asked a neighbor who had used Badger. Colin came out within a couple of days, got on the roof, and showed us exactly what the wind had done to the ridge caps and flashing. He handled the entire insurance claim and we paid our deductible and nothing else. Our lakeside home has a brand new roof and it was basically effortless on our end."
"Our McFarland home was built in 1998 and we knew the roof was getting up there in age. We called three contractors for quotes. Two gave us numbers without getting on the roof. Colin actually climbed up, took photos of everything, and walked us through what he found before giving us a price. The quote was fair and the crew finished in one day. No surprises, no mess left behind, and the workmanship warranty gave us real peace of mind."
"I had a leak in the same spot for two years and two contractors had already patched it without fixing it for good. Colin came out, found the actual source in about twenty minutes, and explained exactly what was happening with the flashing around our chimney. He repaired it the same week at a price that was more than fair. He also told me the rest of the roof had several good years left and did not try to sell me a replacement I did not need. That kind of honesty is rare."
