Every roofing project in Hudson, WI comes down to scope, materials, and existing conditions. The ranges below show what homeowners in the area typically pay, the factors that move the number, and exactly how we run the work from start to finish.
Labor in Hudson runs about 5 percent above the national average, so the ranges below are adjusted to Hudson rather than shown as flat national figures. Your exact price still comes from a free on site estimate.
Hudson sits on the Wisconsin side of the St. Croix River directly across from the Minnesota line, and a large share of the housing is tied to people who work in the Twin Cities and live over the border. That mix gives the town both an older river town core and a steady band of newer subdivisions around it, so two Hudson addresses can call for very different work. Being on the Wisconsin side also means the permits and inspections run under Wisconsin rules even though the commute points west, which is a detail homeowners here are used to and out of town crews sometimes miss. Hudson's roughly 6,700 housing units make it one of the smaller markets we serve, and Census data puts ownership at about 66 percent and the median home at right around 1997, a decade or so newer than Stillwater just across the river. NOAA counts 88 hail events near Hudson over five years against only 22 damaging wind events, a hail heavy storm profile compared to the wind heavy counts we see in some Minnesota markets, which is part of why we check for bruised shingles and dented gutters here even on roofs that look untouched from the ground. The 2023 American Community Survey shows Hudson split into two eras more sharply than almost anywhere else we work. 16.6 percent of its housing units predate 1940, the old river town core, while 44.3 percent were built in 2000 or later, and the decades in between are thin. About one unit in five is a single family attached home. On the storm side, NOAA's peak months near Hudson are May, July and September, and 2022 alone produced 62 of the 88 hail events in the five year record, with stones up to 3 inches and a strongest thunderstorm gust of 74 knots, about 85 miles per hour. Those two facts point the same way: an older Hudson roof is carrying decades of wear and at least one serious hail season, and a newer one may never have been inspected since it was installed. Permits depend on which Hudson you live in. The City of Hudson's own hail damage guide says five separate municipalities share a Hudson address and zip code, the City of Hudson, the Village of North Hudson, and the towns of Hudson, Troy and St. Joseph, and each handles permits its own way. Inside the city, municipal code 106 6 D means no building permit is issued and no inspection is done for replacing roofing, siding, gutters, windows or doors, and the city suggests keeping a record of the install date and the make and model of what went on. The work still has to meet the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code, SPS 321.28 for roofs and SPS 321.24 for exterior walls. It is worth confirming the municipality from the St. Croix County land records before the work starts, so nobody finds out about a permit halfway through the job.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Hudson was built around 1997, which makes the typical house about 29 years old. The market covers about 6,696 homes, and the median value sits near $355,000. That makes Hudson largely late century construction, typically engineered sheathing with venting close to current practice. These homes are now reaching the end of their first or second round of exterior work, which is the normal time for it rather than a sign that anything was done wrong. Tear offs here are usually predictable, so the conversation is mostly about material and warranty rather than about what we will find. 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. 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. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan roofing projects in Hudson. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

Roofs in Hudson, WI take a beating from snow load, freeze and thaw cycles, ice dams, and summer hail and wind. If you see curling shingles, granules in the gutters, daylight in the attic, or water staining a ceiling after a storm, your roof is telling you it is time for an inspection. The best window for a planned replacement is usually late spring through fall, though we handle emergency storm repairs all year. When hail or wind damage is involved, we document the damage so you have what your insurer needs.
Freedom Exteriors works across the Hudson area, including:
A quality architectural asphalt roof commonly lasts around twenty years or more, while metal and designer shingles can last even longer. Lifespan depends on material, attic ventilation, and northern weather. Freedom Exteriors installs every roof with our own licensed and insured crews and backs the work with a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer material coverage.
Freedom Exteriors installs Owens Corning and CertainTeed architectural asphalt shingles on homes in Hudson, WI, including the Owens Corning Duration line, along with synthetic underlayment and matching ridge and ventilation components. Standing seam metal is available where a homeowner wants the longest service life. Material, line, and color are chosen with you during your free on site estimate, and we show you real samples before anything is ordered.
Small fixes can tempt a do it yourself approach, but roof work carries real fall risk, can void material warranties when done incorrectly, and often hides damage that a trained eye catches.

A roof replacement in Hudson, WI usually runs about $8,200 to $22,500 with a standard architectural asphalt roof on an average home near $12,500 to $15,500. Size, pitch, material, and decking repairs move the number, so a free estimate gives you an exact price.

Yes. A roof replacement in Hudson, WI normally requires a local permit, and northern code calls for ice and water shield at the eaves. Freedom Exteriors pulls the permits and installs to local code so your roof passes inspection and protects against ice dams.
Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves and backs water up under the shingles. Good attic insulation and ventilation, sealed air leaks, and proper ice and water shield at the eaves are the fixes. Freedom Exteriors checks for ice dam risk during your Hudson, WI roof inspection and installs protection built for northern winters.

Architectural asphalt shingle is the most popular choice in Hudson, WI and typically runs about $8,200 to $18,500 installed, balancing cost and durability. Premium or designer shingles run about $14,500 to $26,500 and standing seam metal runs about $20,500 to $46,000 and lasts the longest. Freedom Exteriors walks you through the options during your free estimate and helps you match material to budget and how long you plan to stay.
For planned replacements we usually schedule your project within a short window after your free estimate, with late spring through fall the busiest season.

On install day our crew protects your landscaping and siding, tears off the old roof, replaces any bad decking, and installs the new roof, usually in one to three days.

The median Hudson home was built around 1997 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 29 or more years old. That is the age where roofing and the other big updates come due, and it is the work Freedom Exteriors does every week.
Hudson sits on the Wisconsin side of the St. Freedom Exteriors plans around those specifics from the first visit.
Yes. A full reroof in Hudson typically runs $8,200 to $18,500 for architectural asphalt shingle and $20,500 to $46,000 for standing seam metal, installed, per the cost table on this page, and most take 1 to 3 days on site. What moves a Hudson job inside that range is the age of the house. Census ACS 2023 puts the median Hudson home at 1997, and 44 percent of units were built in 2000 or later, so many reroofs here strip a single original layer. The older river town core is different: 16.6 percent of units predate 1940, and those roofs are where we plan for board decking and added layers. Storms matter too. The NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database logs 88 hail events within 15 miles of Hudson from 2020 through 2024, 62 of them in 2022, with stones up to 3 inches, so we inspect for hail bruising before recommending repair or a full reroof. Freedom Exteriors quotes every Hudson reroof in writing after that inspection.
