Madison is the Wisconsin state capital, built on the isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with a large university that keeps a substantial share of housing in the rental market. Water on both sides means wind with a long open run at it, and lakeside exposure is harder on ridge caps, flashing, and gutter corners than a sheltered inland lot. The older near campus and near downtown neighborhoods carry the steeper roofs and detailed trim of a city built well before modern sheathing practice. Census estimates put Madison home ownership at about 47 percent, among the lowest of any market we serve, with roughly 130,800 housing units citywide, one of the largest counts on this list. NOAA counts 68 hail events and 50 wind events near Madison over five years, a moderate storm profile, and with a median build year around 1979 a large share of the isthmus and near campus housing is old enough that at least one exterior system is usually already on its second cycle. Madison is one of the most apartment heavy markets we serve. In the 2023 American Community Survey, 42.4 percent of its housing units sit in buildings of five or more units, and detached single family homes are only 40.7 percent of the stock. For a homeowner that changes less than it sounds, but it explains why owner occupancy is low and why so much of the single family housing sits in older neighborhoods: 13.4 percent of units predate 1940 and another 13.5 percent date from the 1940s and 1950s. The storm pattern breaks from the Twin Cities too. June is the peak month in NOAA's record for Madison, and 2024 was the busiest recent year with 44 hail events, ahead of 2022 at 38. A Madison roof that came through the region's big 2022 season without trouble is no guarantee of the next one. Madison requires a permit for all three exterior trades. The city's Development Services Center lists roofing, siding and windows on one and two family homes as permit work, filed as a repair or replace permit through the city's online portal and reviewed by Building Inspection. That is a different rule from towns where only a reroof needs paperwork, and it means a Madison window job is scheduled around a permit the same way a roof is. Because so much of Madison's single family housing is older and sits near campus and the isthmus, the same permit often covers work on a house that has been modified several times, and the inspection belongs in the timeline from the start.
The typical Madison home dates to around 1979 per Census data, roughly 47 years of Wisconsin weather and daily use. The market covers about 130,848 homes, and the median value sits near $346,900. Most of Madison went up in the postwar decades. The structure on these homes is usually sound, but venting, flashing, and insulation details are dated enough to be worth revisiting while the gutters work is already open and the access is already paid for. Runs from this era are often undersized for the roof area feeding them, which shows up as overflow at the inside corners. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. By housing count Madison is one of the larger markets we cover, with enough variation street to street that two homes a mile apart can need genuinely different work, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map. Permits and inspections here run under Wisconsin rules and the local building department, and we pull what the job needs rather than leaving that to you. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule gutters work here. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
