Roofers in Kenosha, Wisconsin
29 roofing companies are listed for Kenosha. Your request goes to one roofer, not five.
Short answer: None of the 29 roofers listed for Kenosha has a license match on the state registry yet, so ask any roofer for a license number and look it up before you sign. A standard asphalt re-roof on a 2,000 sq ft Kenosha home runs $6,580–$14,570 at the local 0.94× cost index, and a metal roof $15,980–$37,600. NOAA's storm record for the county shows hail up to 2.9 in., so get an inspection after a big storm before you accept a quote.

How much life is left in my Kenosha roof?
Typical lifespans are published ranges for each material; for a Kenosha house, real life also depends on installation, attic ventilation and the weather Kenosha gets.
If insurance covers it, what do I pay in Kenosha?
Only if the claim is approved. The ACV math is a straight-line example over a 25-year life; insurers writing Kenosha policies use their own schedules, so check your policy.
Has hail hit my Kenosha roof since it was installed?

Roofing in Kenosha: local conditions
Kenosha sits on Lake Michigan's western shore in Wisconsin, where lake-effect snow and brutal cold test roofs every winter. Average annual snowfall reaches 36.2 inches, and the 2011 Groundhog Day blizzard alone dumped 23.2 inches in a single event -- the kind of snow load that stresses decking, collapses gutters, and forces emergency calls. The record low of -31 F in January 1985 drives deep freeze-thaw cycling that cracks flashing and lifts shingles, while the record high of 105 F in July 2012 accelerates UV-driven granule loss on south-facing slopes. Recurring hail days add to cumulative wear, and wind off the lake creates uplift pressure along ridges and rake edges throughout storm season.
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.
