Repair or Replace?

Not every roof problem needs a new roof. Here's how we help you tell the difference.

Newly replaced roof with clean architectural shingles.

A repair may be enough

✓    A few missing or loose shingles
✓    One small leak around a vent, chimney or skylight
✓    Flashing that has pulled loose
✓    The rest of the roof still lies flat and looks solid

Aging roof with worn shingles before replacement.

It may be time to replace

✓    Shingles curling, cracking or shedding granules across the roof
✓    Leaks in more than one spot
✓    Soft or sagging spots on the roof deck
✓    Ice dam leaks that come back every winter
✓    Your roof is near the end of its expected life

We'll show you photos of what we find and explain both options before you decide.

What's Included in Your Roof Replacement

A full replacement covers a lot more than new shingles. Here's what every A-RITE Exteriors roof replacement includes.

✓
Tear-off down to the roof deck
✓
Roof deck check, with damaged wood replaced as needed

pricing

How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Wausau?

A typical 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft two-story home runs about

$7,500 to $14,000

That's about $550 to $750 per square (100 sq ft of roof), depending on the shingle line and your roof.

Example:

Ranch homes spread out over a bigger footprint, so they have more roof. A 2,000 sq ft ranch often lands around $15,000 to $22,500, and a 2,500 sq ft ranch around $18,500 to $28,500.

Disclaimer: Estimates only. Every home is different. Your price depends on your roof's size, pitch, number of layers and condition, plus any attached garage or porch. We measure your roof on-site and give you a clear, written quote.

Roofing FAQs

Straight answers about roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage, warranties, and financing.
How do I know if I need roof repair or roof replacement?
If your roof has leaks, missing shingles, storm damage, or signs of age, the best next step is a professional inspection. We will help you understand whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home.
Do you help with storm damage inspections?
Yes. We can document visible roofing damage and help you understand the next steps after hail or wind damage.
What roofing systems do you offer?
We install GAF shingle roofing systems and standing seam metal roofs. Owens Corning systems are also available on request.
Do you offer financing for roofing projects?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying homeowners. Loan amounts up to $100,000 unsecured may be available, with final approval, rates, and terms based on lender review and credit qualification.
What warranties come with a new roof?
Your roof comes with the manufacturer's warranty. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can register qualifying GAF roofs for the Golden Pledge limited warranty: 50 years of non-prorated coverage on materials, including tear-off and disposal when needed, plus GAF-backed workmanship coverage of 25 years on Timberline HDZ and 30 years on Timberline UHDZ. Coverage follows GAF's written terms, and Golden Pledge isn't available on Timberline Natural Shadow.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most roofs are done in 1 day, and larger roofs can take 2. You don't need to be home while we work.
How much does a new roof cost in Wausau?
A typical 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft two-story home runs about $7,500 to $14,000 for a roof replacement, or about $550 to $750 per square (a square is 100 sq ft of roof). Ranch homes have more roof, so a 2,000 sq ft ranch often lands around $15,000 to $22,500. We measure your roof on-site and give you a clear, written quote.
What's included in a roof replacement?
Every A-RITE Exteriors roof replacement includes tear-off down to the deck, a deck check with damaged wood replaced as needed, ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing, an attic ventilation check, the building permit, a magnetic nail sweep and cleanup, and a final walk-through with you.
Do you replace roofs in the winter?
Yes, in many cases. Winter installs depend on the temperature, the weather and the materials we're using, so we'll tell you what makes sense for your roof and your schedule.
Who pulls the building permit?
We do. Our team handles the building permit for your roof replacement.
Can I get a price for my roof online?
Yes. Our instant roof quote gives you an estimated price range right away. When you're ready, we'll measure your roof on-site and give you an exact, written quote.
