How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Kenosha?
Asphalt-shingle replacement in Kenosha, Wisconsin runs $6,580 to $14,570 (2,000 sq ft, tear-off and underlayment included). That is the national base range scaled by Kenosha's labor-and-materials index of 0.94× — 6% below what the same job costs nationally, in a county NOAA credits with 11 hail events over the last 10 years.
Kenosha, with 99,986 residents per the 2020 census, is Wisconsin's fourth-largest city, anchored by the world headquarters of Snap-on Tools and Jockey International. Amazon, Uline, and Rustoleum also operate major distribution facilities here. The city's position in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor drives steady commercial construction and warehouse roofing demand, while a strong residential housing market sustains roofing activity from both new builds and buyer-driven repairs.

Cost indexes barely move across this corridor, so the ranges above track each other — what separates these markets is supply and storm exposure. Racine, the closest at about 10 miles, lists 22 contractors against Kenosha's 29, and its county logged 18 hail events to Kenosha's 11 over the same decade. A quote that ignores those local factors deserves a follow-up question.

Hail History in Kenosha — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
NOAA Storm Events data shows 11 hail events in Kenosha's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 2.90″ (most recent on record: 2024-05-07). Stones that size punch through shingles rather than bruise them. At 11 events in a decade, Kenosha roofs live on an insurance cycle: quotes here should price impact-resistant Class 4 shingles (10–20% more upfront, often offset by an insurer premium discount) and you should know your wind/hail deductible before the next storm, not after. Check your own address on the hail risk lookup.
Hail Events by Year in Kenosha's County (NOAA)
| Year | Recorded hail events | Largest hail that year |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2 | 1.00″ |
| 2023 | 1 | 0.75″ |
| 2018 | 2 | 2.90″ |
| 2017 | 3 | 1.00″ |
| 2016 | 3 | 1.00″ |
Put in Wisconsin context: Kenosha's county logged 0.5× the hail-event count of the median Wisconsin county we track (24 events over the same 10 years) — a lighter hail record than most of the state, so age and UV wear drive more Kenosha replacements than storms do.
